    With the exception of some screen tearing and some spots with terrible AI, this game is incredible and worth the buy for anyone who skipped the last gen of consoles.

    The story is amazing, more in line with a good movie than a game, and the actual interaction with the environment is stellar. The combat feels a bit like the Tomb Raider game, I have no clue what actually came out first,

    The combat feels a bit like the Tomb Raider game, I have no clue what actually came out first, but having played both (and both being great games) I would definitely recommend anyone pick up this game. You won't regret it and I totally understand why people say this is a game that defined an era.

    I'm writing this review from the perspective of someone that has never owned a PS3, and thus The Last of Us on PS4 was my first experience with the game. The game quite simply blew me away. The characters and their interactions are believable and well-written, the gameplay is fluid and allows for multiple approaches to a situation and the graphics, art and music all have high productionI'm writing this review from the perspective of someone that has never owned a PS3, and thus The Last of Us on PS4 was my first experience with the game. The game quite simply blew me away. The characters and their interactions are believable and well-written, the gameplay is fluid and allows for multiple approaches to a situation and the graphics, art and music all have high production values and look/sound great. To me it wasn't so much a game as an experience that used cinematic storytelling. The criticism some level at this game, claiming it has 'no gameplay' and is basically one giant cutscene, is incredibly hyperbolic and makes me suspect they either haven't played the game or are just hating on it for no reason. The game doesn't have that many cutscenes at all and they are usually not more than 1 or 2 minutes. I was never annoyed or felt like the pacing of the game suffered from any cutscenes. It used them a lot more sparingly than some other games I've played on PS4, such a tomb raider and infamous second son.

    In conclusion: 10/10, must-get for PS4 if you haven't played it before.

    If you played the original this is pretty much a complete waste of money. The new level simply is so poorly designed that it is very easy to get into a situation where in pratice the game cannot be completed and you have to start over.

    I honestly think this is the best game of all time. It's writing and direction is almost impossible to beat. What Naughty Dog did is made a perfect game, somehow, even more perfect. Can't wait for the movie and hopefully a sequel.

    This game is a masterpiece, one of the true highlights of my gaming career. Even when you begin to find the gameplay tiresome or the story boring you start to notice how it's a beautiful audiovisual experience. And then before you know it something happens and you're gripped, again. Everyone should give it a go.

    The Last of us Remastered is NaughtyDogs latest game, and it's the best game they have every developed, and quite possible the greatest game of all time.

This is one of very few games that has has effected me on an emotional level, making me care what happens to the characters and making me engage throughout the journey. This game will get you hooked from the moment you start up the game on your PS4 until the very end. This game manages to make Co-op with another AI fun, instead of making it frustrating and annoying. It also gives you the option on how you want to get through the area, whether its stealthily, using your inventory such as a Molotov Cocktails, Nail Bomb ,Smoke Bomb or go in guns blazing. It manages to break up the combat nicely and has different enemy types. The clickers are terrifying but creative creatures, using their sound to spot you instead of their eyes, making you cautious with your every move. Scavenging is also surprisingly fun, looking for certain items to build explosives, or finding ammo for your gun.
    Its unfortunate to see games starting to become more online focused then on the campaign, the Last of us manages to have a fantastic storyline whilst having an enjoyable online experience. The game reminds us how important a campaign is, and how enjoyable and interesting it can be. The Last of Us is a must play for any gamer and a must have on PS4. The Last of Us has set a new bar on what games can potentially become and what we want to see in games like this.

    this game is amazing. the graphics have improved, they promised us a 60fps 1080hd and it looks so much better than its original. i love this game, i haven't went back to playing any of the others. and it just came out and they're already making the movie. this truly is the game of the year.

    Honestly, it was quite better than the PS3 version, but despite the Super graphics, i was expecting a new single-player content than the other ones inside disc. The graphics was looking more awesome, the combat effect was more brutal (which i love it), and the story was a challenging journey, between Ellie, Joel, & Riley. Sony games, is now more Hardcore then before.

    This game is okay. It was great and it wasn't bad. I had heard many great reviews about how this was the "best game ever." Maybe I went in expecting it to be and it turned out not to be.

Controls were smooth and graphics were good. I guess the main thing I really didn't care for in the game was the fact that you are constantly having to find ammo/survivor gear. I understand it's a survival game but seriously, it's a little ridiculous how much time you actually have to spend finding stuff. Even when I upgraded my weapons and used my ammo only when i needed I still ran out. The graphics were great and the music was good as well. Despite the problems I have with the game I can see why people enjoy it. I'm just a little picky when it comes to my games. Personally, I wish I would have rented it instead of buying. Expand

    This game is not great, not bad, but just good. All the people that give this game a 10 don't own the game and just wasted the presentation. Because that was pretty awesome. The real game though is a serious letdown from what was promised. In the presentation, the A.I. was 100 times smarter than it is now.

All the people that give this game a 10 don't own the game and just wasted the presentation. Because that was pretty awesome. The real game though is a serious letdown from what was promised. In the presentation, the A.I. was 100 times smarter than it is now. They said and showed that the A.I. would act different in different situations. For exemple, if an enemy was the last one in the building, they would run for their lives until they are save behind cover, throw something at you to weaken you and then attack you. In the game, they just run at you like some raging headless chicken. Also, when you're holding a gun, and the enemy has a melee weapon, they would sit behind a cornor waiting for you, so they can ambush you. What really happens is, again, they are just raging headless chickens coming at you with their weapon.

    After 5 hours I got SO tired of the 'Hey, let me boost you up' or 'Help me open this door' or 'Help me push this in front of the door' bs. This really slows the already slow gameplay. What also bothered me were the so called 'puzzels'... Just searching some piece of wood so Ellie can jump on it to get her to the other side. Nothing else, just that.

    Returning to the story, this is a story made for a movie, not a video game. I don't want to watch a total of 3 hours+ cutscenes, or just walking around with Ellie for 10 minutes, solve a 'puzzle' (getting her on a piece of wood), fight some dudes/infected, cutscene, puzzle, dudes/infected, repeat, repeat, repeat. Boring as a video game, good for a movie, with some changes.

    of all the "best games of all time" that came out last year, I'd actually put Last of Us near the bottom. But the PS4 version is an improvement and the 60fps makes the game more playable. it doesn't improve the pacing or hackneyed story though. yep, i'm a hater. but look, i still gave it a 7.

    This was my first experience with this game. I went in with no prior knowledge other than what the back of the box already said, and that the "zombies" were fungal instead of a virus.

    The gameplay is very tight, responsive, and tactical. It requires thought and skill to advance through combat scenarios. That being said, there is nothing new or special about it. The puzzles are also
    This was my first experience with this game. I went in with no prior knowledge other than what the back of the box already said, and that the "zombies" were fungal instead of a virus.

    The gameplay is very tight, responsive, and tactical. It requires thought and skill to advance through combat scenarios. That being said, there is nothing new or special about it. The puzzles are also fairly repetitive, almost always requiring you to find a floating object or a ladder. Overall, the gameplay is very good and well polished, but nothing special.

    The real lure of this game is the story and the characters. I grew very attached to Joel and Ellie, as should anyone who plays this. The ending was a little weak, but interesting regardless. At least it makes me want to play the sequel.

    I would recommend any gamer who has access to a PS3 or 4 to play this. Just keep your expectations in check. The game was over-hyped in my opinion, although easily one of the best of last generation.

    Great game! It does give you a sense that the main characters are in survival mode-infected, hunters looking for survivors, limited ammo and resources for crafting, and most especially a suspenseful storyline. The detailed environment adds to it with images that leave you feeling a tiny sense of frustration/shock/horror. Haven't beaten it yet but as you can see or read, it's impressed me.

    An excellent upgrade to an already excellent game. Even if you've played it on PS3 the game is a substantial improvement on the PS4. The inclusion of the Left Behind DLC along with the multi-player maps makes for an overall improvement, and if you've never played the game before what are you waiting for? Go get it now!

    Never before has there been a game to evoke emotion the way TLOU does. The quality of acting would put most Hollywood blockbusters to shame and the storyline had me hooked from the first second to the last. A true masterpiece deserving of every accolade being given and a must have for any collection.
    All in all, TLOU Remastered is, in my opinion, the best game ever made.

If you haven't played this, please give it a chance.

    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.
