    What a remaster! One of the very best games I have ever played on any system. Everything about this package is top quality. This is very much a work of art. A Masterpiece

    TLOU is an extremely pretty game. It does enough to separate itself from its PS3 counterpart to warrant a second purchase. This package includes the Left Behind expansion and all multiplayer DLC. The story is incredible. There are twist and turns and you never really know what will happen next. I found myself having no idea when the game would end!. The intro is extremely emotional.

The story is incredible. There are twist and turns and you never really know what will happen next. I found myself having no idea when the game would end!. The intro is extremely emotional. The game takes hold there and never lets go although the first 30-1:00 after that are extremely boring. Once you get through that it is a great game. The visuals are stunning. Combat requires carefully planned strategy and execution. The gunplay feels a bit clunky at first after upgrading Joel and acquiring more powerful weapons it feels right at home. The zombie AI is frustrating but not intelligent. It will get cheap shots on you more times than you can count and getting killed by a clicker (a powerful zombie that can instakill you if it gets close) sometimes these aren't fair and restarting an area with them over and over again gets tiresome. The same can't be said for human enemies. They are extremely smart. They will find ways to get around you and attack you from behind. Fighting a group of enemies at once is extremely stressful and nerve wracking. The locations throughout the story are varied and beautiful. The last section of combat in the story is tiresome and a low point. Crafting requires thinking as things like health packs use the same equipment as molotovs.
    The multiplayer is great and puts a new spin on stealth gameplay. It requires careful coordinating with other players. It has an extremely steep learning curve. My best advice is move slow and stick with your teammates. The crafting interface works well here and the maps fit in nicely. The left behind DLC is good but not as much as the main story line. Overall this is a fantastic game with only minute issues.    … Expand

    Great story and game-play, but dumb puzzles and too lineal level design. I've really fun with this game, with its beatiful art and graphics. I regret have played in Normal mode, it should be played in Survivor mode, it's too easy once you learn how to beat any enemy.

    Next to Shadow of Mordor, this is the best game on PS4 right now. It is a lot of fun and makes you feel fully immersed into this convoluted world. I think that the visuals on this game are excellent. Naughty Dog knocked this one of out of the park. I am not a huge fan of the limited ammo that you have online in multiplayer, but that is a minor issue. Excellent game, lot of fun to play.

    After seeing all the review sites and shows giving this game awards, I finally decided to pick it up on the ps4. What a big mistake and waste of money that was...... I was expecting some amazing storyline with amazing gameplay but that is not what this game is at all.

What a big mistake and waste of money that was...... I was expecting some amazing storyline with amazing gameplay but that is not what this game is at all.
    Gameplay is the most annoying thing I have ever felt when playing a game. The stealth aspect is so broken... you spend 90% of the time sneaking past enemies - then at the last moment get spotted by a clicker or infected, then get bitten on the neck because this game has no real weapons whatsoever, and have to end up doing it all over again. There seems to be millions of bricks laying around but no weapons at all.
    There is no point even having a gun in this game as ammo is so scarce. Consider yourself lucky if you have 6 units of ammo in your inventory! Also another joke in this game is that in other games where we actually have something called a "Knife" in this game they expect us to keep making our own shivs, and the only way to take down some enemies is to sneak up and shiv them.. what a joke...... Surely we come across so many allies in the game and someone is bound to have a knife.
    The storyline is cliche. Same old story of town getting infected by zombie virus and you fighting for survival. The only good thing is the voice acting in the game but thats about it.
    The graphics are not ground breaking either... Im surprised seeing people go on about how amazing the graphics are, but they just look average in my opinion. People seem to be getting excited over its ability to render at 60fps at 1080p, but whats the point? seeing as the gameplay is lacking 100% in this. Also the game puts you in smaller environments where draw-distance is not required, so its bound to have a higher frame per second..
    I would not recommend anyone to buy this game, especially at full price. Worth a rental just to see what all the fuss is about, but to buy and own would not be worth it.    … Expand

    This game is exactly what it was supposed to be, a REMAKE.
    It is just what it was for the PS3, an amazing game that sent the PS3 out with a bang. If you were expecting it to be different or better than the original, you will be disappointed because, again, this is a REMAKE.
    Incredible game, great story, realistic gameplay, add it to your library.

    The ultimate game for me, I even had to make an account to review how good this game was, Storyline is brilliant (hence the reason they are making it into a movie) and the graphics are incredible they are on a different level to anything I've ever played. Have no hesitation buy this game!

    Having not been able to get in to this game on the PS3, I cautiously bought it on PS4 and I don't know what happened, but I really got in to it.

    Throw in the real feeling of survivial from the infected and bandits, you never feel truly safe.

    I have seen some users who have gave it a bad score just to clearly be edgy like a hipster would, hating on a company/franchise just because it's popular, but Naughty Dog have really out done themselves with this remastered edition.

You have to conserve and    Yes this game is very good, verging on excellent.. It is also hyped up to the max, best game ever it simply is not (for me anyway)(storyline yes).

    Lets start with the good, of which there is a lot. Gameplay is genuinely engrossing and challenging, I haven't played the game on the easier settings, starting off on the hardest, and some areas are really tough. You have to conserve and choose when to use ammo etc. The game is very atmospheric (graphically too), sometimes chilling.. It actually scared the **** out of me a couple of times!

    Combat and shooting is quite tough, upgrading is essential.. the AI of the enemies is ok, not brilliant, but they don't all just run and gun. Stealthing is really fun, taking out enemies slowly and tactically is much more rewarding than trying to gun everyone down, although how Ellie doesn't get you discovered!

    Onto the storyline, the famous storyline... Yea its amazing! I really did go though this game with a genuine connection to the characters, it's hard not to be empathetic.., i won't go into too much detail, i'm sure you already know. I replayed this game straight after i finished because I enjoyed it so much.

    So why not a ten? Simply because for me a game has to be perfect to get a ten.. i guess for me perfect means I play a game for months without getting bored,.. hence why games like Guitar Hero (yes!) and Halo are better, for me personally.. I suppose it depends on what your priorities are.. A perfect game fom me has to be at its core, addictive and fun to play for many, many weeks if not months. The Last Of Us is addictive for a little less time. I put this on a par with the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic games which i absolutely loved for story/gameplay/graphics, but got a little less replayability.

    Still in my top ten favourite games ever!    … Expand

    Graphics and Sound: Truly phenomenal work all around.

    Playability and Entertainment: The story is still entertaining and believable, the ending as simultaneously heart-achey and solid. The controls have been tweaked slightly and work even better to get the dirty jobs required done.

    Replay Value: Very High.

    It’s an understatement to say that TLOU: Remastered is well made. It was an already magnificently produced game when it launched in June of 2013, and with this reiteration, pushed by the hardware of the Playstation 4, The Last of Us Remastered is a polished treat not to be missed by Sony newcomers and people in general who’ve not played the game and own a PS4. Being a Sony newcomer myself,It’s an understatement to say that TLOU: Remastered is well made. It was an already magnificently produced game when it launched in June of 2013, and with this reiteration, pushed by the hardware of the Playstation 4, The Last of Us Remastered is a polished treat not to be missed by Sony newcomers and people in general who’ve not played the game and own a PS4. Being a Sony newcomer myself, this review will focus on all aspects of the game, not just the revamps.

    The setting is a post-apocalyptic world wherein the story of Joel is told, a story that covers the struggle of survival while also tackling themes of finding purpose in a world beaten by devastation. The world has been hit by a pandemic, Cordyceps, inspired by a real fungal parasite that affects several species of insects, only here it has evolved to affect humans and the effects are nothing short of lethal and terrifying. Eventually Joel and Ellie cross paths, and this will unfold a well written, beautifully performed journey that shines and stands tall in what one could consider an oversaturated ocean of post-apocalyptic tales. Naughty Dog succeeds in telling a story that, albeit unoriginal, is gripping and engrossing by developing likeable characters and an outstanding dialogue coupled with amazing voice performances. Caring about the lead characters is inevitable, and thanks to the perfect pacing of the story, one will continuously desire to see where and how their stories end.

    As a video game, TLOU provides plenty of engaging, fun action. The gameplay covers from traversing through a variety of beautifully made scenarios to shootings and crafting. This is not an FPS; the game encourages stealth, even more so in higher difficulties (which are recommendable for a higher feeling of entertainment). Ammo is scarce, melee weapons degrade with use, and enemy AI is smart by reacting to sounds—they will hold their attack if you take one hostage, and they will even attack you more ferociously if you try to fire your gun only to find out it’s empty. And those are only the human enemies. Cordyceps, though not organized, are varied and aggressive and will provide a huge challenge if unprepared. Crafting comes in handy and it cleverly encourages the player to explore the map in order to find tools to create better weapons, bombs, upgrades, and ammo. All these factors provide a tension that so rightly fits in a video game with this theme.

    Even better, the game comes packed with a multiplayer mode that works perfectly within the context of TLOU’s atmosphere. Having the player join one of two factions and using the same gameplay system of the single player experience, multiplayer becomes a strategic battle where teamwork is invaluable; going solo is not going to pay off. It also serves a purpose; matches come with challenges to achieve, furthering the journey of your faction towards salvation.

    All of this is enhanced by the power of the PS4 that makes the image look crisp and beautiful. The character and scenery models are nothing short of intricate. Better lighting and shadows, along with a more complex particle effect system give the game even better graphics. Not even the E3 demo of the original game looked this good.

    When all these aspects come together, the pinnacle of immersive experiences in video games is achieved. Owning a PS4 system is reason alone to assume TLOU Remastered is in one’s collection. It’s a game not to be missed. The Last of Us Remastered may be overhyped, but damn if it didn’t meet that hype and then some.    … Expand

The combat is flawless and executed perfectly in every way. Not to get ahead of myself here, but the combat is actually, in my opinion, is as sleek and satisfying as the Batman games. The characters are relatable and none of them are irritating or arbitrary in any way. The game has its eyes on cinematic side to games, just like Uncharted. It pulls it off nicely and thanks to the graphics makes cut scenes look like a Blu-Ray film, and the gameplay look like a work of interactive art. If there's one thing TLOU slips up on is the story progression. As in the places the characters go to seems a little too convenient or pre-determined a lot of the time. For example, in one section of the game you meet someone who just so happens to be a friend of the main character AND a mechanic to get them out of there as well as a car mechanic too.

    This game is recommended and does deserve the praise it gets despite the fact the people who get this for a second time on PS4 are unmistakably going to be playing the same game again. Not that there's a problem with that.    … Expand

    This is the best single player game I've played since my Nintendo days, and I don't think I've ever felt so much for video game characters.

The artists did an unbelievably good job capturing all the nuances of human interaction.

The voice actors and writers did a terrific job, but what I think is even more impressive is the body language in the cutscenes. The artists did an unbelievably good job capturing all the nuances of human interaction.

    The gameplay itself always kept me on the edge of my seat, I always felt like I was in danger. Playing this game you quickly learn that something bad is always going to happen "soon", but you don't know what "soon" means. Some not-particularly scary places explode in your face while you're walking through, while sometimes dark buildings where you're sure a horde of zombies must be hiding, are actually empty. Caring about the characters amplifies this sense of danger. Even though dying has no major consequences, I still felt I desperately had to avoid it.

    To some extent, this is a stealth game. You will have a much easier time if you try to take out enemies quietly - or even sneak right past! For most part the stealth mechanics are pretty good. There was never a time when an enemy magically saw through a wall or something like that. On the other hand, the enemies can be amazingly oblivious to you sitting behind a crate with your head poking up above it. Or they will look right at you and shine a flashlight in your face, except you're like a hundred feet away and they can't see that far.

    Shooting mechanics are good and feel very realistic. Ammo is scarce so you find yourself taking careful aim and swearing when you miss.

    This game is very linear. Naughty Dogs is telling a story here, and it's NOT a story about the player, it's a story about Joel and Ellie. The two of them make monumental decisions with zero input from the player. You are guided by the environment from point A to point B along a pretty narrow path. It is common in such games that they are not very replayable. This is true here, too. While I did love playing through this game, I probably will not play the main story again, at least not for quite a while. The main story took me 12 hours to beat. After that you can try it on higher difficulties or look for collectible items and such if you're into that.

    Online multiplayer is actually pretty cool and I don't know of any other online games quite like it. It's pretty slow paced and tactical so you must be patient. There's a lot of hiding and creeping around and trying to get the angle on each other. Sadly, not that many people play it. The only gripe I have is that I wished they left out the "listen" ability that lets you see nearby, moving enemies through walls. It weakens the stealth aspect.

    They did an excellent job upgrading the graphics. I would not have guessed that it is a remastered PS3 game. It does seem like they missed a couple of spots, though. I remember being in a sewer and there were some chains attached to this grate so it could be lifted by pully. Except the chains weren't shaped like chains, they were clearly boxes with chain links painted on them.

    All in all if you don't have this game on your shelf, you're doing it wrong. Fix that!    … Expand

    I had very high hopes for The Last of Us, given it was a Naughty Dig game. The game lived up to these hopes, thankfully. The story was amazing, the graphics surreal, and the acting (yes, acting, and more than just voice acting) astounding. It was a perfect game, a masterpiece in fact. It plays far better than any other game and is worth your time and money.

    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.
