    Great and realistic story with amazing character, voice acting and storytelling. This game is not open world but you feel like it is. At the end good plot, combat and crafting.

    One of the best game i've ever played: 10/10 Masterpiece and Must play.

    One of the best games for all time. The gameplay is on the top level and I wasn't bored for a moment during the entire game. The characters and the emotions between them are so real. The storytelling is great and the graphics and sound are making playing the game to be so immersive.

    Everything about that game was said and written already. One of my best all time titles. A must have, and must play for every player. Even if you don't like video games just watch as somebody else is playing it. It's breathe taking amazing.

    The Last of Us Remastered is a amazing game that displays a stunning visual world and captivating story about internal and external conflicts over survival in a inhospitable world.

The performances of Ashley Johnson as Ellie and Troy Baker as Joel is career defining, giving wonderful moments both in physical and emotional moments as one progresses in the game. The combat is fun and a test of skill, luck and stealth that makes engagements dire and FUBAR on harder modes. The strangling of enemies is kind of loud and admittedly the AI is not really that smart on some things, but these are easily glossed over by the power the game has at telling a story and telling it well. Usually perfection is something out of grasp in things (games no different), but the ending is the very rare diamond gaming moment that deserves to be called perfect and nothing less.

    The Remastered edition comes with the Left Behind DLC, which tells a story of Ellie's past mixed with her present day self in a thoughtful and well done way that deserves alot of praise. It also has a commentary that is fascinating to watch and the updated visuals and framerates make the experience of the story truly spectacular. The downside is the multiplayer..sort of. The inclusion of multiplayers in the Uncharted games have always been an issue with me because it was a means to compete with Microsoft's Gears of War and as a player of both mps, Gears destroys Uncharted's mp. They just don't belong in the game (like they were tacked on) and just a way to get mp hungry players on its game, rather than enjoy its story and just that. The Last of Us has the strongest mp among the Uncharted series and contains its own meta game that is actually quite fun to play. Unfortunately, the mp has microtransactions (even weapons you can purchase that could be pay-to win) and I cannot let that slide, no matter how good the game is.

    If it ditched it's multiplayer, then the Last of Us would easily be a 10/10 for me without even a moment's thought, but I cannot do it and so a 9/10 will do. This is to say nothing of the game's power and focus of its campaign and it is an absolute must to buy this game if you have not bought it already or just got a PS4.

    Wonderful and well balanced game. A true masterpiece. The character design is fantastic and gameplay is top notch. The story is a bit inconsistent, but I gladly look over this very minor setback.

Realmente las situaciones que se nos presentan se utilizan de manera tan directa y violenta que llegas a sentir que con cada bala quitas una vida, es realmente espectacular el énfasis con el que se trabaja la violencia, independientemente de lo gore que aparente ser
    Por esto y por mas es un titulo muy recomendable que te va a transmitir un sentimiento que pocos juegos pueden llegar a hacerlo.

    Simply one of the greatest games ever made. Amazing over the shoulder shooting/stealth combat that feels honed and perfected. Probably the best and most exhilarating and emotionally charged stories of any game I've ever played. Beautiful graphics and performance in Remastered, ND outdid themselves with this title truly a masterpiece.

    Simplemente magnifico. El juego te atrapa de principio a fin.
    Lo mejor del juego en mi punto de vista, es que hace que sientas empatía por todos los personajes.
    El gameplay es excelente.

    Una digna remasterización del juego épico que vimos no hace mucho en PS3.

    Recently I bought A Playstation 4 and always wanted to play this Game since I heard all the hype and high praise of it.To be honest,I bought it new,put it on shelf and did not play it for A whole month.When I did eventually play it I have to say I was not that blown away.The first two or three hours were A bit of A grind and nothing that spectacular-basically just your standard TutorialRecently I bought A Playstation 4 and always wanted to play this Game since I heard all the hype and high praise of it.To be honest,I bought it new,put it on shelf and did not play it for A whole month.When I did eventually play it I have to say I was not that blown away.The first two or three hours were A bit of A grind and nothing that spectacular-basically just your standard Tutorial sections.

    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.

    Summary: One of the only games I consider a 10/10. An absolute masterpiece and best use of a video game to tell a story. A must play for any Naughty Dog fan.

    Full: After thinking long and hard about why this game was so effective and felt like a perfect experience, the answer is simply the word 'real'. The characters, the story, even the way enemies interact are the most realistic I have ever seen in a video game.
    The gameplay aspect individually is completely engrossing, you get so caught up in the survival elements that you are compelled to scavenge as much as possible for anything you can craft with or, if you are lucky, a couple bullets. You develop a combination of stealth and shooter elements to handle enemies because its the only way to survive. The game makes you completely feel like you are in the characters shoes. Add in the classic Naughty Dog seamless cutscene integration to keep things fresh and the game flies by while you are glued to this world.
    The story and characters are where this game really achieves something special. Escorting Ellie through enemy outposts and infected monsters can be fun, but if you can actually care about her survival the experience is nothing short of captivating. Your eyes open wide every cutscene where she falls down or where you get injured because you genuinely want the best for Joel and Ellie. Its hard to discuss the story much more without spoiling anything, but I doubt I will ever forget it.
    In terms of the remaster itself, its hard to imagine it looking or playing any better than it does. Well worth the upgrade to those who owned it on PS3 and will want to play it again and a must buy for anyone yet to play it.

    Rating Justification: I can't fault The Last of Us for anything. It knows what it wants to do and what the experience should feel like and achieves it flawlessly. This is the only 10/10 game I have played in almost a decade. I originally bought my PS4 so that I could play the remaster when it came out, and it was worth every penny.

    This is a good game i have to admit but it is nowhere near as good as it's hyped up to be. Without spoiling anything for those that haven't played. The story line is good and well worth a play through, multiplayer mode can be fun but it's never going to keep you coming back for more than a few days. Overall it's worth a look in.

    It has been over a year since I completed the game and it still has stayed with me. The main theme triggers something so profound in me and takes me to gruesome yet beautiful world of the Last of US. There is nothing that hasn't been said. It is a masterpiece and every future brilliant game will be put to the standard of TLOU.

    Years after I first played this, it still leaves a lasting impression.
    Anyone can find flaws in any game, but The Last Of Us is such a good experience that its flaws fade into insignificance. A 10/10 score for being about as good as any game can be.

    The game is nothing but eye-candy of some once decent video game of the previous generation. The score truly shows how overrated this game is, along with a slight graphic update of a semi-decent previous generation title.

When playing Left behind (which I rate as a 10/10) the shortcomings of the main game become apparent - in LB Ellie has the possibility to get by human enemies by having her direct clickers onto them, which is a pretty good mechanic that enriches the combat gameplay by that little bit more... The main campaign of TLOU, however, misses this feature.

    Other than that I won't go much into why it is so good as you have already heard it somewhere else. This game is amazing.

    TLOU is a work of art. From the climactic story rivaling movies and books of old, to survivalist gameplay centered around teamwork-stealth-crafting, to excellent pacing, to tremendous scenery and level design. Ever want to feel like you are truly in a game with an emotional roller coaster every step of the way, this is the game for you.

    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.
