    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay now, I know i’m 7 YEARS late but sadly i wasn’t aware of this website and all but i still want to share my thoughts about this game. Okay Where do i begin, let’s obviously begin with the beginning to where you have this guy who is named Joel and his daughter Sarah and them having a funny and nice father daughter moment together. The game then has you waking up as Sarah and man the rest of it what happens is just amazing. The game throws you into chaos almost immediately with sadly having you see Sarah dying in Joel’s arms. That scene was so good, but also so sad that i actually shed a tear and not a lot of games do that to me but man this game actually made me shed a tear which is awesome now looking back on it. You then see Joel become this smart individual who plays every situation smart and is always cautious about LITERALLY everything and how he does lots of smuggling behind the government’s back. You also get to meet his friend Tess to which is a very underrated character. You then get to meet Ellie to which after playing this game TONS and TONS of time, Ellie is hands down the most awesome and just a well developed character out of the whole game. I love how Joel and Ellie’s relationship starts out suspicious of one another and not really caring about each other but they eventually develop this father daughter relationship which is just beautiful. Now even though the story is predictable and all its okay because the dialogue in between cutscenes and just in general make up for it. There are no throw away characters and all of them are interesting and serve a purpose. The environments in the world is just amazing and beautiful and to be honest, I would LOVE to be apart of the world too. The also loved how you learn more about the fireflies and the “cure” to which yes the “cure” was not guaranteed and the fireflies have also failed numerous times in making a cure. The game then throws you a twist to where Joel is injured and you take control of Ellie. That to me is beautiful writing and a really nice twist. This also helps develop Ellie’s character even more too. However, i did run into some glitches here and there but none of the glitches i found were game breaking or annoying. They were honestly just really funny and I didn’t even mind them. Also, the multiplayer i did not play a-lot in but i will say that with the little time i got with it, i REALLY enjoyed my time and was honestly just fun. Now I would say that i hope there is a sequel and how happy i would be with it. But as I am making this review, there is already a sequel out to which I have already given my review with it. All in all though, this a great game with beautiful graphics for its time, great storytelling, great characters, and just great all around in pretty much every part of this game. Expand

    I came back to play this one recently, before the sequel came out. It's still a great game, and the remaster definitely looks noticeable better than the PS3 original.

It's still a great game, and the remaster definitely looks noticeable better than the PS3 original. The story, plot-wise is a fairly generic zombie post-apocalypse where the other survivors are more dangerous than the zombies. On the other hand, the characters and how they interact with each other and the world around them is what makes the games narrative special. Joel and Ellie's relationship is at the forefront of this and the writers did an amazing job with them. The voice acting for most of the characters is spot on. The game play is pretty good, not great. Its somewhat clunky and slow at times, especially during combat. After playing the sequel and its refinements to these systems, it felt so off and less intuitive in this one, but nothing deal breaking. This one may or may not be better than the sequel depending on several factors present in the sequel. I cant recommend one over the other but this one plays it "safer" with its story. Expand

    Probably my favourite story game of all time. It follows the story of a broken man and a lonely young girl. It's full of ups and downs, but leaves you happy in the end.

    My favorite of all time. In terms of stort it set the bar really high, better than any movie or series. Many Intense moments, but even the slightest detail is relevant to story and charscter development/relationships throught the game. Everything counts and makes perfect sense. It jas the mistshocling prologue, and one of the vest ending

    The remaster of The Last of Us does it justice with enhances graphics and smoother frame rate. The Last of Us is one of the beat ps exclusives far none. Beautiful graphics, compelling story and the best survivor game, better than any zombie movie. The dynamic between Joel and Ellie is one of the best duos of all time.

    The remaster did look on par with next gen entries on the ps4 which says a lot about the quality of this game. The amount of attention to details is astonishing. This game is great.

    This is possibly the best game I've ever played, the story is so touching and well made, the gameplay is pretty good and the graphics aren't bad either but at the end of the day it all comes down to how much we enjoyed playing the game and I think the story is the most important part and that's what the The Last of Us gets perfect.

    Que decir de este gran título. Uno de los mejores de ps3 y con una remasterización de libro para la ps4. Una historia conmovedora y cruda a la vez. Una aventura que te cala por dentro desde principio a fin. El comienzo del videojuego pasará a la historia como uno de los mejores inicios en cualquier medio. Jugablemente es muy bueno con unas animaciones increíbles para su época.

    Un videojuego muy bueno en muchos apartados pero con una historia y una narrativa tan excelente que solo por eso estamos ante un producto prácticamente perfecto.
    Pasará a la historia y siempre se quedará en nuestros corazones la increíble odisea de Joel y Ellie como si nosotros mismos estuvieramos con ellos, afrontando todos los peligros juntos.
    Nada mas que decir que gracias Naughty Dog.

    I discovered The Last of Us in 2013 with the PS3 version. I never played a game good as this one.
    Everything is so mastered. It is not just a zombie game, that's not the center of the game. It is this relationship between Joel and Ellie which made us so amazed, that is the main quality of the game. We can see that they are very picky with the details (even in 2013).
    This is my favorite

    This is my favorite video game ever but this is a 9 because everything is not perfect and there are defaults
    But after all, we forget them because we are so involved in the story that Naughty Dog succeed to make them invisible.

    Este fue el juego que hizo cambiar a la industria. La historia puede sonar cliché, porque lo es, pero está muy bien trabajada al igual que todos sus personajes. La inclusión de estos nuevos "zombies" da un aire fresco a los tan trillados zombies tradicionales, y el gameplay para su época me parece muy acertado, mostrando con gran detalle la violencia y con un gran catálogo de armas.

ND deja de lado los npc esponjas en este juego para darnos un sigilo simple pero que funciona, y darnos diferentes maneras de afrontar una situación. Los grandes peros de este juego son sin duda la inteligencia artificial y como el juego te da solo balas de las armas que tienes equipadas. Un imprescindible en mi opinión, al que he rejugado demasiadas veces a lo largo de los años. Expand

    The Last of Us - это действительно другая игра, сочетающая в себе традиционные приключения, выживание, экшн, скрытность и постоянное исследование. Ресурсы являются наиболее важными. Лучшая графика на PlayStation 4 снова в руках Naughty Dog, а также атмосфера и два неповторимых и незабываемых персонажа.

    First time during my journey of playing TLOU i connected with the story and characters immediately. I cried and laughed along side the characters (mostly cried) and after i finished the game i felt like a new era in my life has began. TLOU made a special place in my life and actually changed many things for me personally.
    Since then i couldn't go a month without playing it at least one

    A post-apocalyptic road trip that offers a fantastic, riveting experience, where destruction and beauty, and hope and despair, get entwined in a way that’s nothing short of genius, The Last of Us is so good that its somewhat repetitive, and occasionally dull gameplay isn’t enough to rob it of its rightful place amongst the video game greats. Therefore, if looking for an unforgettable action-adventure, with strong cinematic sensibilities, and a heavy emphasis in adult, character-driven storytelling, look no further than Naughty Dog’s classic, especially now that the remastered version has made the original even more stunning.

    Visual improvements and three included DLCs don’t justify buying this game again, but if you haven’t played it on PS3 yet, you’re in for long hours of valuable entertainment. [Sept 2014, p.59]
