    This game is just a masterpiece. Incredibly good! If you haven't yet, you need to play it. And if you have played the PS3 version, it's worth the revisit on the PS4.

Graphics are beautiful and the idea of the game is just plain fun. From killing mutated people to killing actual people who are trying to kill you and rub you, to just running away and hiding or crafting weapons/med kits/bombs. Different things and the most enjoyable 3rd person view I have played in a long time. Expand

    The Last of Us
    Master Piece
    The Last of Us is an Action Adventure Survival Horror game that tells the story of Joel and Ellie.
    The United States has been reclaimed by Mother Nature and a fungus has taken over human brains.
    You spend the game getting over every obstacle the world throws at you.
    The World in the last of us is honestly the most well-crafted game world I’ve ever experienced.
    So is the actual game play and the way you interact with the world.
    Really as a game in general, this is perfection, the new standard.
    The world crumbles and breaks around, there’s constant banter and communication between, Joel, ellie, and the other characters you meet along your journey.
    Every character and dialog is so perfectly written.
    They all have their own personality and flavor to them.
    The constant back and forth with conversation and interactions with the world really brings the game to life in a way I’ve never experienced before.
    It feels so refreshingly organic.
    I can’t imagine being okay with anything less in the future from AAA developers.
    The gameplay is fluent, fun, and addictive.
    Though the last of us does a pretty great job of hiding it, at its heart this is a survival horror game, so as you should expect, there are plenty of stressful situations you’ll find yourself in.
    Lucky for you, the crumbling world is at your disposal to ease your stress a bit.
    There’s Is a crafting system in the game, and I know the word crafting can be overwhelming to many, as it is for me, but the crafting is insanely simple, there are only about 5 or so ingredients scattered around for you to pick up to create health kits, bombs, and weapon mods, and all you have to do to craft is hold x.
    Also scattered around are gears you can use at a tool bench to increase the stats on the weapons you’ll gradually find throughout the game.
    But back to the actual execution.
    You can play the last of us in any way you see fit.
    You can stealth your way through slowly, using your enhanced listening skill to spot enemies locations, and slowly sneak up behind them to take them out, or you can run and gun your way through a section mowing everyone down.
    Stealth is always your better option if you aren’t completely sure of enemy locations, otherwise you can find yourself surrounded by the insanely smart AI.
    Unlike most games, ai doesn’t just stick to a path, if they hear something, they will actively pursue you, if you get in a gun fight, they will try to flank and confuse you to try and get behind you and take you out.
    Luckily for you, you have a beast of a sidekick and ellie to help you out of some pretty close calls.
    Thankfully, encounters with enemies is not constant, you frequently get some much needed downtime to scavenge and let your heart settle back into your chest.
    So while the stress is definitely here in the last of us, it is in short bursts to prevent the game from feeling like a chore or a grind.
    The last of us will really take you everywhere.
    Through buildings, through water, the forest, museums, there’s a great adventure and a beautiful world waiting for you to get lost in and conquer.

    After you are done with the games story, you can restart on a new game + or play it’s online multiplayer where you’re pinned up against hunters or fire flies to either interrogate the opposite team to find their lock box or eliminate the other team completely to win the game
    all 3 modes are equally addictive and work the same as single player
    you start out with your customizable perk load out and you scavenge supplies if you choose to do so to further equip your character
    While I personally thought the story in the last of us got weaker and weaker as the game went on, I still can’t deny the fact that the last of us is gameplay and game design perfection from beginning all the way til the end.
    It doesn’t let up, it doesn’t get lazy.
    I’m not a fan of survival horror games, but the last of us has just become my exception.

    Wow The Last of Us is a game that make you feel emotions that you didn't even think possible. Kidding of course but it is a very touching game that will tug at your heart strings. It starts off early by letting you know just what you are in for.

    I never played the original for PS3, so I am not sure on the comparison for the graphics but this is a great looking game. There are a few small complaints as to why doesn't the bushes or grass even budge when interacting with them, but it doesn't take away from the great overall scenery.

    The character development is fantastic, showing both Joel And Ellie feeling a great range of emotions both about the situation and their pasts. Naughty Dog sets up a great world for this to set up, with not as much as I would of liked for exploration as most areas are pretty liner but I guess that why games like Day Z exist. Both the interactions with the infected and humans feel intense. There was a section of the game where I wont go too much into detail not to spoil it, but I had sneaked around all the infected to come to a door that was blocked. You had to move the object which made a lot of noise attracting the whole room and got my heart racing. I had no idea if I was going to make it out of the room or not. This game is filled with these moments, and also filled with moments where you and Ellie are out in a field and talk about something. The game does a great job in building both characters up.

    Also this game comes with the Left Behind DLC, which is a great addition as both a prequel and some information that happens during the main game.

    The only other complaint I had was with some of the AI. There was stealth sections where you would barley move just to sneak up on your attacker, not making a single noise just for them to quickly spin around and start shooting like they had heard you or seen you. This doesn't happen often, but it always resulted in a death for me as I was playing on a harder difficulty.

    Other then that, this is a masterpiece of a game. Anyone who loves story and character driven games and obviously owns a PS3 or PS4, this is a must buy.

    The Last of Us is one of those once in every ten years kind of game we know Naughty Dog from their Uncharted Series but this one truly stands out of the whole studio and what they are capable of. I'll say it now I was balling in tears and hoping that Naughty Dog don't get greedy and make a second instalment because it would be highly likely to beat this one.

Currently only $30 on amazon, and probably less at a Gamestop. The online pass is gone and the DLC is on the disc so no worries about codes.

    If you loved TLoU, you'll definitely want TLoU Remastered. It runs smoother, cleaner, and with an improved controller for the PS4 the game is just pure addicting. IF you HAVEN'T played TLoU yet, then this is the time to do so. Cheaper than the original, improved and including bonus content that costs just as much as the game normally. 10/10, it deserves the title of 2013 GOTY.

    That said, it is now 3 months ago since i completed The Last of Us on PS4, which is the first time i played it, and still to this day, the entirety of the game still chills my bones, sometimes it just hits me, without warning, about how this game made me feel, and still makes me feel although i don't play it anymore!

    The story hit hard, and it hit good, and still i am in awe of this game!

    Not only does the core game mechanics work super well, the level and art design hit the ball out of the park on this one!

    It had a satisfying, albeit disturbing and emotional beginning, middle, and an end.

    The feeling i got when i played the game, and to this day, still haunts me. It almost haunts me so much, that i don't wanna play the game again, cause it was so intense, and it felt so very very true!

    Games and Movies are a high passion for me, and i always seek storytelling perfection, as there are many many games and movies i love, The Last of Us is the one that hit me the most!

    I cannot express exactly how i feel about this game, cause it's ineffable for me!

    Hands down!!! The best game, i have EVER, played!

    I deep down wish so much, that i could shake Neil Druckmann's hand, and thank him and his team, for a story of a lifetime, that you have given me. I will probably never forget what this game made me feel!

    If you haven't bought it and played it yet, shame on you, cause this is a masterpiece of a game that any passionate gamer should have in his arsenal!

    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.
