    if you like short fast games great if not. not for you weapons very limited by the time you get good weapons game over no replay value unless you are board gave it a three do to excellent graphics and good story. controls very easy beat in 16hrs second play threw 11 hrs (skipped moves) will not be a third if you do start over you start from the very beginning

    One of the most meh games i have ever played. Uninspiring, lacking and written by a soyboy that ruined Naughty Dog as a company. Overrated and Overhyped

    This game is **** because the game isn't interesting enough, and isnt the good game that the people says, that is one of the reasons than I say that this game isn't good,

    Purely subjective review and is just here for personal record. This game is fantastically produced and has some A-list acting. However, the stealth/survival gameplay and heavy emphasis on a cinematic story simply did not click with me. the cutscenes try really hard to make you care and I while they are not bad, they just don't do it for me. Not a bad game, review is just of personal enjoyment.

    Dull and cliche story, storytelling is made in order to play on feelings of edgy kids and people who generally dont play games, very mediocre graphics for 2014, gameplay has nothing interesting in it, character control and especially aiming feels bad. Straight up bad game that became successful only because of multi-million PR campaign. Avoid. 2.5-3/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dude the gameplay and graphics are typical and nothing new of Naughty Dog polish, but the most INTEGRAL part of TLOU1 was the gripping and touching story. TLOU2 had a messy, silly and quite frankly convoluted story with countless flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks.

    I can't count how many times the game should have ended. I was so tired of the screen going black and then seeing hulk hogan still standing there in 3rd person. Let me play as ELLIE the character I have bonded with. No matter what kind of sob story you throw at me for Abby I will NEVER forgive her for clubbing JOEL. JOEL THE MOST BADASS MAN TO LIVE. She came out of nowhere and took a fat dump on the storytelling legacy that is TLOU.

    To all those praising the gameplay, it's typical naughtydog gameplay, truly nothing was really changed. The graphics, yes it's stunning, omg the hair moves like real life!!! THE LEAVES MOVE 10/10 GAME!!!!! it's gorgeous blah blah blah but the writing is horrendous and feels like Neil Druckman's WattPad fanfic. TLOU1 made me cry 3 seperate times. So did TLOU2 after the 11th ending, i was sobbing wanting to be freed from the convoluted time loop story telling.

    No sequel was ever needed.

    Undoubtedly a gorgeous game with a lot of care and detail although not many improvements in gameplay or overall vs the 1st one and the story is just not good, not well written, destroying the legacy of what we liked about its predecesor and just not enjoyable. Its a real shame how those decisions spoiled such a beautiful game with so much potential.

    the most overatted game of the decade it has some good gameplay moments such as the combat system and the stealth mechanic.That's the only good thing the story is mediocre at best and the character is nothing special expect for the perfomence of Troy Baker as Joel Miller

    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.

    compared to the original this game lacks so much of the heart, character development, world building, and relate ability. Not to mention the game mechanics have not changed all that much so while familiar doesn't feel innovative. The issues with errors and bugs are not so bad to break the game, but break the immersion of the game.

    SO BORING. The whole game is just walking IN and OUT of buildings, strategies to overcome enemies and I just couldn't have cared less about the story or its characters, BORING. I didn't enjoy any of the mechanics. The ok graphics are why i gave it a 2 and not a 1.

    The gameplay, for how little it's used, isn't terrible, however, it isn't that good either.

    The stealth is the only somewhat decent part of the game, but it's ruined by NPCs that can't see you even when you're right in front of them.

    The story itself is pretty generic, it feels like a Walking Dead episode, and that show isn't even that good...

    After finishing "The Last of Us Part II", there's almost nothing redeeming left for me in the first game. Everything became soulless now. Sad.

    Самая переоценённая в мире игра. Два раза я пытался её пройти, но всё тщетно. Я обожаю стелс, и когда не проиграв в игру, я слышал возмущение моего друга, который в неё уже играл, что игра ему не нравится, ибо там постоянно стелс, я думал :"О, отлично, стелс... Обожаю его". Но я даже не представлял насколько нудный, и скучный геймплей и стелс меня ждут.Самая переоценённая в мире игра. Два раза я пытался её пройти, но всё тщетно.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dont know what makes this game so famous. Nothing in it is exceptional. Generic gameplay, generic premise. Everyone says that Joel and Ellie's relationship is well developed but is not. Suddenly Joel screams to her that he is not her father and some time after he starts acting like a her guardian out of nowhere without reason for it. If you want a zombie game with light survival mechanics, go play days gone. Expand

    Another garbage title from one of the worst devs out there: Naughty Dog.

    This developer apparently loves excessive violence, foul language and blasphemy. And for this I will throw my copy in the garbage instead of reselling it, as I don't want to contribute to anyone else playing this trash. How good the gameplay and graphics are is completely irrelevant, when the game is all about

    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.
    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.

    This game was sold as the promised land, but all I got was a pile of trash. I'm gonna keep this one short, because I already wasted to much time on it: The Story boring, Graphics are OK, Gameplay is thin and the "crafting" is a joke. I don't understand the hype around this game, but it certainly didn't get me.

    I can't understand the hype about this game. I have played 3-4h of the game and it has inspired me zero. The story resembles a romance novel for little girls. Emotions equal zero. The tunnel-like levels like in God Of War are cruel and boring. The roleplaying elements are virtually non-existent and the characters have no charm. The opponents are stupid and you always do the same thing.

    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.
