    As for the game The Last Of Us, my impressions are very positive.

I lowered the game by one point estimate for a fairly controversial ending in terms of "good" humanity, if it can be called so, and some strange moments in the game that you can just "run". As for the version for next-generation consoles, it is awesome. Fps consistently high, graphics and textures are on a very good level. Overall: great remake of one of the best exclusives of the past generation, and certainly the game, which can not be passed by anyone, ever. Ranked # 9 of 10.… Expand

    The Last of Us: Remastered returns with one Naughty Dog’s most critically acclaimed titles in beautiful 1080p with included DLC. But, does The Last of Us: Remastered warrant purchase on Sony’s next-generation, or was it best left untouched and in the past?

But, does The Last of Us: Remastered warrant purchase on Sony’s next-generation, or was it best left untouched and in the past?

    While I never experienced The Last of Us on PS3, I was able to spend about 100+ playing The Last of Us: Remastered on PS4 in both singleplayer and multiplayer game modes. The Last of Us: Remastered is one of the most brilliant singleplayer stories ever created, and despite being set in an already overpopulated post-apocalyptic survival genre, does an excellent job of distinguishing itself as a truly remarkable title. The singleplayer story will have you on the edge of your seat throughout its entirety as Naughty Dog puts you through an emotional rollercoaster of events set in the not so distant future. Threats lie around every corner, and you will be challenged on even the easiest of difficulty settings. However, while The Last of Us: Remastered delivers an exceptional experience in terms of its singleplayer, the same cannot be said for the multiplayer. While the multiplayer gametypes deliver a rather refreshing and unique variant on the third person shooter, they fail to provide what could have been a defining feature of the title. The multiplayer component of the game is plagued by network issues, incomplete balancing, and DLC pay-to-win microtransactions that prevent players from enjoying the multiplayer as it could have been. However, the shortcomings of The Last of Us: Remastered multiplayer should not prevent anyone from purchasing it, as the game is truly a testament to what singleplayer should be in videogames. Naughty Dog truly delivered one of the most influential and memorable gaming experiences, and I hope that this IP becomes one of Naught Dog’s flagship franchises alongside the Uncharted series. If you have already played The Last of Us on PS3, you might want to pass on the Remastered version, but if you have never played the title, I highly recommend you make this part of your collection.    … Expand

    This was very good, in fact I did not know how bad the current PS4 offering is until I played this. The fact that this is worth playing in the post-zombie craze era shows how good it is. I subtracted 1 point because this is a remaster that has been sold at the price of a new AAA game. Sadly that is all that you get on the PS4 now: remasters and sequels.

    Great game. Love the stealthiness. Love the enemies. Love how you are vulnerable and no super hero. The side quest with the girl was a little silly to me. And the replay value isn't great. This game had me hooked though after I played for about an hour. Great story

    Was the game story great? Yes. Where the graphics an upgrade? Yes. Is it worth the buy? Totally. Truly one of the best games I have ever played. I tend to think I am a completion-ist when it comes to game, and this is very hard to do in The Last of Us. However, for those who dont like the ending or had questions, you didn't find enough clues. *Hint- Joel technically wasn't lying.

    I find that I rarely rate a game over 8 - even a few classics that roped me into the gaming world fall short of an 8/10 score sometimes but this is nothing short of a masterpiece. The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 score is due to certain features that can be a tad annoying. That said, I am torn.

If I were to give out a perfect score for 2014, it would go to The Last of Us Remastered. They certainly earned their glowing reviews.

    Pros

    - Stunning graphics. Literally breathtaking. I found myself staring at the horizon and trying to drink up every detail right from the start. Beautiful.

    - The storyline. The writing & dialogue is nothing short of genius and will quickly wrangle your interest. I felt thoroughly invested in the characters and the plot-line.

    - Mini-convos with Ellie/whomever is following you at the time feel real and immersive.

    - Even when fighting/sneaking Ellie will comment (whisper if you're sneaking) on the enemies or area or whatnot (it's specific too depending on who/what is after you.) It's difficult to explain why this is such a positive other than the fact it gives the game a realistic feel. Small details like this made a good game great.

    Cons

    - Listening mode no longer exists (which is fine it was rather OP & broke immersion a bit as I felt like it was a sci-fi ability) yet the tutorial still includes it. Also, increasingly listening mode's range is still an available upgrade for Joel despite the fact it has been removed. You have a limited number of pills (upgrade currency) & upgrades cannot be undone. However, Naughty Dog is usually excellent at patching things like this and I'd be surprised if this wasn't fixed soon. Still, beware.

    - The highest difficulty settings can be a bit frustrating. Not necessarily due to legit difficulty, but random things like being one shot less than a second after a cutscene can be frustrating. That said, only crazy masochists like my fiance play on those settings. :) For most, this won't be an issue.

    All in all, this is a game I would recommend for just about anyone looking to christen their PS4 or as a Christmas gift as all aspects of this game had excellent development. Combat. Story. Graphics. Three dimensional characters with unique personalities. The Last of Us has it all.    … Expand

The opening section of the game is a tense and brilliantly realised outbreak of the “virus”, after this outstanding introduction you are plunged into generic, broken cities – climbing up fire escapes, sneaking in dark abandoned buildings and shooting / shivving “the infected”, who stagger about like a drunk uncle at a party. The environments are populated with textures and graphics that have seemingly been recycled from Naughty Dog’s other work (Uncharted, notably – the same red bricks, the same broken cars, same furniture). It does look impressive though, the lighting and shadows are particularly stunning in parts.
    Wandering around, crouched to reduce noise and detection, before sneaking up on an enemy is well trodden ground by now, as a result the gameplay style is instantly familiar and generic, its hard to find much to be impressed by early on in the game. I found myself plodding through the campaign for a few hours, not entirely certain whether I was enjoying the experience or not, but regardless eager to see where the whole thing was headed.

    Mercifully, the game changes pace when you encounter the Human enemies, which will stop at nothing to hunt you down rather than saunter around like the infected. This makes a more menacing and challenging experience, akin to the manhunt franchise.

    Whilst playing the game I couldn’t help think what the game developers could have done with certain sections. At times it feels like the environments were under used. It wasn’t until about 8 hours in it dawned on me that maybe the omission of more “jumpy”, edge of your seat scares, were perhaps deliberate. It isn’t a typical survival horror game, it is a bleak, miserable and hopeless journey of two people, the enemies are merely incidental antagonists all trying to survive.
    I was only harking back to typical conventions of horror video games because that is what I expected to see, because that is all I have seen in the past.
    As a result, the tearing up of the rulebook means that it reveals itself after about 5 hours as a refreshing experience. Sure, there are some clichéd and terribly contrived sections of games of yore, particularly pushing boxes to climb up onto roofs and walking through dimly lit sewers – but it never cheapens the experience with overly obvious encounters with a slew of bad guys, or unnecessary fetch and find puzzles. It certainly makes up for the lackluster, first few hours of the game.

    Arguably, the most significant and important aspect of the game is the storyline and characters. Last of us certainly stands out from the crowd here. Traditionally video games have terrible writing and poor characterization. Not here, the writing is so accomplished you actually care about the characters backstories and plight. It’s like watching a TV show where you want to know what happens next. I really hope other developers take note of this accomplishment and up their game (no pun intended). The games storyline gradually develops using great pacing, the final quarter of the game is particularly malevolent and completely gripping. It can be an emotional, sometimes harrowing experience; no video game from recent memory has left me with my mouth open in amazement, or given me a level of emotional response like The Last of Us has.    … Expand

Instead of zombies coming from a nuclear experiment gone wrong, or from nuclear radiation, they are created from spores; they are not even called zombies as they are so different, they are referred to as infected. The gameplay was fun and entertaining, I wanted to keep playing to know what would happened next. There were hardly any glitches, the only ones that I could find were graphical glitches that would not interfere with gameplay, but I had to go under rocks to perform. There was also one invisible wall off the beaten path. This game also comes with all the DLC included. The left behind DLC helped explain what Ellie did before the story of the main game. The online was mostly fun, but the main reason you should buy this game is for the single player. Unless you got The Last Of Us on the PS3, I highly recommend this game. If you did get it on the PS3, you may want to play it again depending if you like to replay games. Therefore, I give this game a 9/10, it is an incredible game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the first game I played when I bought a PS4, I must say I was very impressed. The graphics are compelling, the environment is immersive, walking through a deserted suburb neighborhood, looking at all the abandoned houses, piles of burnt bodies, and flooded cities, and how Joel and Tess are so numb from the apocalypse that killing someone is just an everyday thing, makes you think what people are capable of when the situation is so grave. The story is unlike anything I've experienced in a video game, the ending really leaves you in the dark in some ways, and that's okay. It almost leaves you to decide what goes through Ellie's mind when she said that final "okay" and then the game cuts to black. It has one of the most intense multiplayer experiences I've played, the 4v4 matches, while it may sound very boring, Naughty Dog really did a great job with it. It feels like real combat, you're always behind cover, planning your course of action, hoping an enemy isn't around the corner when you have no ammo while they're fully loaded ready to go. Every time I die, it feels like I really die, and that I didn't help out my team enough, and I've never felt this playing a game. It really requires you to communicate with your teammates, plan out tactics, call out enemies, or just go lone wolf and hope for the best. The maps for the most part, are well designed, it could use more game modes, leveling up can be quite difficult at times, but overall, its really an above average experience in my opinion. This is a must-have for PS4 owners, It's just a great game.… Expand

You won't just be fighting variations of the berserk infected but other survivors as well, mostly ones who want to kill you for your supplies. You can craft various items such as Molotov cocktails and health items as well as swallow pills to upgrade different abilities and use miscellaneous parts to upgrade your variety of firearms. On top of the gameplay is the emotional story which involves a harsh middle-aged man escorting and eventually bonding with a young girl of 14. The game is great from start to finish but not quite the masterpiece it's made out to be.
    Lastly, there's multiplayer which is a fun extra but not fantastic in my opinion. There are three modes as well as custom loadouts and characters. Again, it's fun, but play this game for its single player.    … Expand

Gameplay mechanics work well although some stealth sections can feel slightly repetitive but a great balance between these sections and action packed shoot-outs make them bearable. Multiplayer requires team based coordination and strategy that is refreshing from most 'lone wolf' all guns blazing style multiplayers that crowd the market.

    It wasn't really until mid game where I really started to enjoy myself and I fell in A groove with it's mechanics.Speaking of which,this Game is heavily dependent on items and upgrading those items.This can be A lot of fun and encourages exploration.I was surprised there wasn't A lot of stealth aspects to the Game which is great since all I have ever seen in videos was those sections and often when I played them in the Game itself.

    The graphics are very well done and everything looks as natural and organic than any other Game I have ever seen before and the abandoned feeling rivals that of the Fallout series.The 'monsters' are nicely rendered and are scary and chilling.I think though to myself the scariest parts of this Game are the Human characters since they use strategy and effectively hunt you down as opposed to the Monsters that you can easily trick.

    The characters (without spoiling anything) are dynamic and are well thought out.You can tell A great amount of care and effort was given especially to these two characters as well as secondary characters.The dialogue sounds organic and realistic trying to copy something more closer to real life.At first these characters are people you could care less about.By the end,you are biting your nails with fear over some of the extreme situations you encounter because you care for each one of these characters.They grow through trials of hardship as certain events change their overall dynamic with one another.

    Ultimately,the end really satisfied me and made me become A convert to this series.I understood all the hype and praise and how it was justified.This wasn't A perfect Game though,the swimming was hard especially to dive.I didn't like the cover button as it was clumsy to use and didn't like what button was assigned to.I feel some weapons even when upgraded were virtually useless against Human opponents.The worst is the lack of ammo since as you pass by A lot of Military installations,There should at times should of been A small amount of stockpiles of ammunition.

    Other than these rather ultimately small gripes,this Games does gives you A lot for you money.It is A short Game and most of it is cut scenes,but when you finish all that the Game has to offer you will feel that you have experienced A great Game.If you want to play A well structured,thought out Game with care and balance to it then look no further than to The Last Of Us,You will never regret it.    … Expand

    Great game overall with a stellar story and voice work, however, the gameplay could have used more fine tuning, because it's not the most satisfying gun combat in the third person shooter genre. The graphics are great for a 2013 game, and the setting is very immersive and memorable. Recommended.

    This game feels like you are playing the Walking Dead T.V show as the characters, dialog, presentation, and the storyline are all great. The gameplay plays like a combination of Uncharted and Resident Evil franchises. Overall if you have a PS4 check this out as its great.

    Gameplay isn't a strong part of the game and there is no a lot of content and no replay ability. but damn... It's so serious written thriller with awesome characters, creepy post-world atmosphere. I can say only... It's hard to hate this game even if you are xbox fanboy. Must play

    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]

    One of the best titles of the previous generation is now available in all the next-gen glory and also with all the DLCs. Take it or leave it. [Issue#245]
