Last of Us Remastered is a quintessential PS4 game and one of the most emotional storylines I've witnessed across all media. The quest of Joel and Ellie is touching, tense, brutal and shocking, and they are two of the strongest videogame characters of the decade. I absolutely loved every aspect of the story and can't fault it - this game takes the rough idea behind The Walking Dead and truly does justice to the human vs. human in an apocalyptic society trope, unlike the aforementioned TV show.

    Gameplay-wise, I enjoyed most of it. The controls are tight, combat (especially gunplay) is solid, the on-the-fly crafting mechanics were great and the exploration was pretty good. The upgrade trees for weapons and skills felt a little insignificant in the long-run and prevented true enhancements. The absence of incentives for exploring off the beaten path however were poor compared to the Uncharted series and was a disappointment to me. The world is gorgeous and interesting, yet basically boiled down to a corridor-type approach with occasional locked doors to explore. Considering the setting and style of game, this is a major flaw in my opinion. This said, I was never bored, loved the environments and the graphics are fantastic, I just wanted more variety in game progression akin to all the optional caves and treasures of, say, Tomb Raider or Uncharted 4.

    The production values of the game are incredible. Light effects, the score, the environments, the small touches to abandoned houses, the facial animations - amazing. This game is a true experience to play through, both visually and emotionally, and is without a doubt deserving of the praise it gets in these respects. The DLC was really nice for a bit of background to Ellie and only helped me love her more. Despite some gameplay issues for me, Last of Us joins Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, Nier: Automata and Horizon : Zero Dawn in the ranks of games you simply must play if you own a PS4, but for reasons different to the other four. This is the most engaging and personal story I think I've came across in gaming since some of the PSOne Final Fantasies or Metal Gear Solid 3, and what it lacks in gameplay/exploration depth, it makes up for in spades with the raw emotion and intricacy of its heartbreaking narrative.    … Expand

    The first time I played through tlou on ps3 i was blown away by the game, the story was solid and the characters were great. You can say I was awestruck in a good way.

    3 years later, i played it on ps4 (+ the dlc), the play through wasn't as exciting as the first time I tried the game, definitely 60 fps helps the game play a lot, but the second time you play it it's just not the same.

    the replay value of this game is close to 0 for me and the dlc was just, pointless really.

    A game where's even walking fun!? I would have given 10 but the last three seasons are super short and rushed. Also the brutality in cutscenes prior to the end of the game is so hideous. It felt more like murder skillkill revue in the last hour or so.

Maybe is because the zombie topic is already too used. Beside that, the game is technically beutiful, come on, is a movie with nothing to envy to movies like Z.

    I can not say anything that has not already been said, just: The Last of Us is a big deal, Remastered is a Huge Big Deal, and all the ps4 owners must to play it!    … Expand

    I came back to play this again recently after being disappointed in the sequel. I thought that perhaps the nostalgia had gotten to me and made me see the original as better than it was, however I was pleasantly surprised! So here is why I find this superior to its sequel.

I thought that perhaps the nostalgia had gotten to me and made me see the original as better than it was, however I was pleasantly surprised! So here is why I find this superior to its sequel.

    Firstly, the length. This game is significantly shorter and that is a very good thing. The shorter length means very little outstays its welcome and a quality over quantity approach. The adventure is concise and well timed.

    Secondly, the story. This ties in with the length, as being shorter means there was less padding out; the plot is very well paced and concise. In addition to this - it is a simpler plot and delivered in a simple manner without recurrent flashbacks. This does mean that the plot is a bit more basic, which was the curse of the sequel where it found itself in a minefield of dealing with sensitive character development. However I really like this simplicity; Ellie is your typical adolescent and I find her far more likeable as she grapples with her relationship with Joel.

    Thirdly, the environments, which are a bit more diverse than the sequel, which limited you to mainly urban dystopia. The original allows for nice visuals and backgrounds that are part of the journey and not just a flashback.

    However some aspects of the game definitely show their age. The gameplay is rather fundamental, similar to the early Nathan Drake games. The game is linear and comes across as more like an interactive movie at some points. The gunplay in particular seems to have a mind of its own. There is a lot of repetition but the variety of environments and shorter length prevent these from being as noticeable as they were in the sequel.

    Overall, this is definitely worth revisiting after having played the sequel, especially if you were disappointed. There are some aspects that have aged, and its rather worrying how little the sequel evolved these aspects given that there is a seven year gap between them.    … Expand

    In terms of gameplay, I'm also satisfied. The game design is really similar to the Uncharted series (both games are made by Naughty Dog). There are a lot of checkpoints, so you don't have to start a level all over again. This compensates for the harder difficulty when you reach the last levels (winter and spring). I completed this game on Normal difficulty and I died a lot

    I totally understand all the amazing reviews this game got. Objectively, I believe it deserves 9/10 ratings. However, just because stealth games are not my cup of tea (don't mean I don't like this genre just that it's not my preference), I'm comfortable giving a 8/10 rating.

    Especially at the end of the game, you have to play stealthy in order to survive as your ammo is really limited and the enemies can absorb a lot of damage. This is where I struggled. However, this is an opportunity to develop other strategies which is fine.

    The story also left me a bit confused....

    In conclusion, I strongly recommend this game. This is an experience you won't forget (visuals, sound, animations are amazing and this is where this game shines most)    … Expand

    Gráficos incríveis, História comovente, apesar de ser meio clichê, mas a última vez que tive um experiência assim foi com The Walking Dead da Telltale Games, e jogabilidade divertida, esse jogo merece sim um 10, mas se eu estivesse avaliando o TLOU de PS3, porque a versão remasterizada não teve muitas inovações mesmo nos gráficos, o maior destaque dessa versão se deve à DLC "gratuita"

    With a story beyond what most normal games can even attempt and a very solid attempt at survival horror, TLOU is held back by its rather simplistic gameplay and bad habit of trying to overly script the player. Yet, these issues can feel like they don't exist in the grand scheme of things.

    The Last of Us atende a todas as expectativas do jogo mais esperado de 2013, e se torna um grande concorrente a melhor game do ano. Com uma trama digna de uma obra literária e uma jogabilidade moldada em cima de uma dificuldade bem dosada, o título é um grande exemplo de que há jogos simplesmente marcantes.

The jump scares with the infected are also very, very real haha. Where I think this game has it's biggest flaw however is in the ending. Not the overall ending, which was wonderful, but the literal moment where it just cuts out mid conversation. I really wanted a final cutscene, a conclusion of some sort, something. I feel like there was a climax without a resolution, and that must be why fans are eager for a sequel... Welp, guess I'm joining their ranks haha.… Expand

    la jugabilidad es simple y sencilla (es lo que se puede esperar de ND) cubrirse y disparar hasta el cansancio, muy similar a la saga uncharted pero con mejor cuerpo a cuerpo. NADA ESPECIAL 7/10.

    Review after playing the sequel: Best-in-class story, made Ellie and Joel a classic duo in gaming history. Nevertheless some plots seemed pushed and not naturally reasonable enough. Gameplay is overall good, a bit repetitive at the end and 2 people taking out so many others really seems bit too much to me.

    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.
