    The Last of Us Remastered is a great game. Graphics are awesome, Game play is awesome. The only downside of this game for me is the story line. It started great but ended bad, although it may be a hint for a sequel that they might work in the future.

    This game is a must buy for PS4 owners.

    There are often times when I can't, for the life of me, understand why everyone in the western part of our world drools over a particular game.

I believe there's no better example for this as The Last of Us, a title that got tens all around and was praised for its supposedly incredible storyline. Even though I had experienced several sections of the game on a friend's PS3, the PS4 was my first chance to try it for real, and I walked away sorely unimpressed.

    First of all, I fully admit to getting kind of worried whenever a title gets praised more for its story than its actual gameplay. It's the latter that will always matter the most in a game for me, and in this regard The Last of Us is passable at best, extremely forgettable at worst. It consists of a series of linear, quick-time-event-heavy, cover-based shooting stages that get repetitive really fast, with only mild incentives for any kind of exploration.

    Even though the game does feature a lot of actual cutscenes, its gameplay sections are made in such a way that main character Joel is always talking and interacting with other people somehow. I admit I can see how some people would enjoy this playable-movie vibe, but it's definitely not my thing. Often I would just get annoyed when a cutscene would end, just because I knew it meant I'd have to start actually playing. This made me start holding the opinion that The Last of Us would be better suited as, you know, an actual movie rather than a game.

    Speaking of which: yeah, there's a cool story here, with some well-written emotional gut-punches. But unlike what I've read around the web, it's absolutely nowhere near the level of the true storytelling masterpieces of our time, from A Song of Ice and Fire to Breaking Bad to The Sopranos (and yes, I've seen comparisons to all of those). Maybe that's because the script just feels like a known quantity in the time we live in: it has a post-apocalyptic setting (check), a hardened man getting to terms with his own emotions (check), zombie-thingies (check), dialogue sections filled with wise cracks that aren't all that fresh (check). It was just too 'been there, done that' for me, even with the emotional turns, and as a result I never really felt the father-daughter relationship between the main characters as apparently most people have.

    It may be one of those cases in which a game is just not for me, especially because I fully admit I've never been that interested in post-apocalyptic settings and its tropes. Still, just trying to analyse The Last of Us from a detached standpoint, I fail to see why it's had such an extremely enthusiastic reception. I wouldn't say it's a flat-out bad game, but there are numerous realistic-style titles with more fluid and satisfying gameplay, there are numerous non-games with better stories, and it is my honest opinion that this is not one of those cases in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    I think this is the kind of game that everyone should at least try, if only just to see what the fuss is all about. If your gaming tastes are anywhere close to mine, however, you'll probably get entertained for a while, then start seriously considering just searching for a cutscene compilation on Youtube instead.

    You've probably heard about The Last of Us one way or another, and have heard that it's one of the best video games ever created. Those facts are true. The Last of Us has one of the best stories that i've ever experienced. It has some mature themes that no game would dare touch on, it has some heart-breaking moments that will get you really emotional; expect to cry or feel terrible at least once. But one of the key elements to The Last of Us is Ellie. Ellie is by far one of the most realistic characters in any game ever made, her reactions, the way she acts is unlike any video game heroine. The combat is fluid, having to manage your resources while keeping yourself alive. The online multiplayer is really fun as well, the Last Man Standing mode captures the game's feel. The story telling, the combat, the characters, are all nailed so well and so right that it's hard to find anything bad about this game. Seriously, I can't think of a single thing that this game did bad or poorly.

    The Last of Us gets a solid 10/10.

    It is definitely the best game I have ever played. The interaction between Ellie and Joel is great and successfully unveils their distinctive personalities. I am glad to have played an apocalyptic game which doesn't focus on the fun of slaughtering zombies, but the struggle to survive among humans and the infected, both mentally and physically.

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.

    A good game for those who wish to play through an interesting take on the typical zombie apocalypse scenario. However, this game leaves you wanting more due to its somewhat short length and non-replayability outside of a dying multiplayer.

    For me, it's up there as one of the all time greats. The story is beyond immersive and even on my third play through I enjoyed it just as much as the first. If you are yet to play this, in my opinion, you are missing out on one of the greatest journeys in video gaming.

    Great story great visuals great characters. One of the best resource management games ever made. The only complaint I have about this game is that the combat falls short when you are stuck among several enemies. In such situations you mostly find yourself bitten by a zombie from behind while trying to kill the one in front of you!

    Great production values including graphics, sound design, story and characters. However, the game itself just feels boring. Every time it almost feels as if I was trying to grind my way to the next cutscene, and that's not a great feeling to have in a game, especially in a survival horror one. Maybe it's critically acclaimed, sure, but the game for me just didn't do nearly as much.

    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.
