    The last of us had a super good story, good gameplay and a ton of collectables!
    Challenging multiplayer and so on!
    The only bad thing to say about this game is that it contains 10+ trophies that's about completing the same story over and over.

    But I'm not judging games for having a misleading title on its cover etc! It's about the bloody game! And it does good! 10/10

    Deep experience. I usually hate zombie-based stories but The Las of Us is too damn good. The immersion is really strong, prepare to feel everything, amazing graphics, sound effects and animations make you actually feel the world around you, realistic voice and character acting and plot make you feel what the characters feel, from a smile, to a bullet or a tear (or a zombie bite).

    This is a game that i would recommend to any gamer who values story, and great stealth game play with a solid combat system, it is a must play game! the story between the main protagonist and the second protagonist is very in depth and makes you care about them. as you play through the story, their relationship continues to grow and you see this through many trials they are forced to goThis is a game that i would recommend to any gamer who values story, and great stealth game play with a solid combat system, it is a must play game! the story between the main protagonist and the second protagonist is very in depth and makes you care about them. as you play through the story, their relationship continues to grow and you see this through many trials they are forced to go through together, in which brings them closer together. The story is that you're 20 years into an infection that gives humans a form of rabies via a mind controlling fungus (Which is real in our world, Scary!) and you must transport a girl that may be born with a cure, i won't go any further for spoiler reasons, but this is the basis of the story, you travel cross country fighting everything from infected to other survivors who are trying to kill everyone and salvage everything they can, Naughty Dog has knocked it out of the park with this game, the graphics are amazing and will stand it's ground in the gaming community for some time to come, the emotion that comes out in this game could bring you to tears at certain moments (It did for me) and you will find yourself actually caring about what happens in this game. the people you come across are varied enough to seem real, they each have their own personalities and opinions, this is such an alive game, I've beaten it and it still to this day blows me away. It adds more replay value with the Left Behind DLC and Factions Multiplayer that forces you to choose a faction and fight on that faction through different game modes, it also features a mini meta game that you help your clan grow by doing good in games.… Expand

    One of the truly greatest, emotional stories I have ever had the pleasure of being immersed in. The game play is astounding, the acting is phenomenal and there's a lot of replay-factor.
    If you own a PS4, this game is an absolute must.

    Even though the story was VERY compelling, the gameplay felt repetitive and monotonous. The lack of ammo added to the realism of the situations, as well as some other things.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us, without a doubt, tops my list for the best game I've ever played. The game on PS3, alone, was the best, but adding it to the next-generation console made the game even better, although it seemed impossible.

    The plot itself is enough to make the game fantastic. Adding Bruce Straley's great gameplay-directing, together with Neil Druckmann's amazing story-directing, makes the game perfectly balanced between gameplay and story. This unbelievable game, even though it's known, still hasn't reached out to that many people, which is sad, because they're missing out on something that is truly life changing for hundreds of thousands people, including myself.

    "From Dreams: The Making of The Last of Us" shows the work and dedication made to make this game possible is incredible. It only goes to show how they persevered even though they faced difficulty. It also shows the actors doing their absolute best performance to make the game as good as possible, cut-scene -wise. Troy Baker (AKA Joel,) made his best performance in this given scene: When the apocalypse has just happened, he meets up with his brother Tommy, and they escape from the horde of infected. They find this military soldier who, even though he doesn't want to, shoots his daughter Sarah. The way Joel reacts is so scarily realistic, it made me cry, which is a hard thing when it comes to video games.

    As for Ashley Johnson (AKA Ellie,) made her best performance when she is in the ranch, right after she goes away from Joel, and says "Is that all they really had to worry about? Boys, movies, deciding which shirt goes with which skirt? It's bizarre." Followed by another great performance by Troy, makes the scene very emotional indeed.

    Long sentence said short, The Last of Us is a life-changing, perfect game for me. The A.I is just about perfect for the game's purpose, and has taken gaming into the next level with it's no game in the future can even compare with The Last of Us. A clear 10/10 from me.    … Expand

    What is there to say? It's the G.O.A.T. The enhanced graphics were not super-noticeable to me but the game already looks brilliant. Nothing was ruined from the original version and that's really all that matters here. Can't wait to play Left Behind!

    I went into the game quite sceptical . But after the first short intro segment i was hooked. From then i played the entire campaign over two days, the story is just so gripping i couldn't put the controller down.

    Its based in a post apocalyptic world in which a fungus called Cordyceps has infected humans leading to a a zombie outbreak, i really like the original spin on the zombie outbreak its different and refreshing. the main plot involves the transport of a young girl called Ellie to a research lab as she has an immunity to the fungus. Ellie is accompanied by Joel who is the main playable character. The way the bond between these two main character grows throughout there journey is masterful the writers at Naughty Dog are brilliant to have made the characters feel so real. As well as the game designers for making the world so harsh and horrible to have to live through but absolutely stunning from where the player sits.

    Whatever your taste in games you will be touched by the story this game has to tell and therefore you have to play it. the only other thing i have to say is will The Last Of Us get a sequel?    … Expand

The characters are real, the experience is extremely emotional and the gameplay is perfect. Even with zombies, this is the most realistic game I have ever played. Everything that you do in the game, you could do in real life. They even based the disease that the zombies have, on a real life disease that exists in the insect world. The feeling that you could die at any second is always evident. This game is challenging, and those who pick a difficulty that they cannot handle will perish. It is very realistic in every way. You supplies are extremely limited and since you play as a 50 year old man through 90 percent of the game, you are at somewhat of a disadvantage at being a man of action. The hand to hand combat looks so real, as you put your full body into every punch. The game is lengthy, and the conclusion is so bad ass. Not to mention the absolutely great DLC Left Behind, that is free with the Remastered Edition. This is a game that even though it is linear, it never gets old. You can play it again and again forever, and you will never grow tired of it. It didn't win Game of the Year twice for nothing. Anyone who hates this game needs serious help. BUY IT!!!!!!

    The Last of Us is quite simply the best game I have ever played and I've been an avid gamer since I was a kid in the 90's. I'll break up my review into three parts - game play, story and graphics.

    Game play - combat is TENSE. Running through guns blazing can result in a swift death and not to mention a loss of valuable ammunition and supplies. The Last of Us is all about survival; resources are scarce and every time you fire off a bullet you are making yourself that little bit more vulnerable in the long run. Sneaking is the preferred tactic of choice but ND do enough to keep the pace of encounters varied and exciting, often requiring to switch between stealth and aggression at the right moments. There is also a crafting system allowing Joel to keep stock of useful items like Molotov cocktails, smoke grenades and med kits. You are also able to upgrade your weapons as the game progresses, however as always supplies are limited and you won't be able to max everything out on your first play through.

    Story - this is where The Last of Us truly shines. The story, script and characters are masterfully woven into an experience that will resonate with you long after the credits stop rolling. There is real tragedy in this dark post-apocalyptic world and that pain is clearly reflected in Joel's character, set 20 years after the games initial prologue. Perhaps the most touching aspect to the story is the bond developed between Ellie and Joel and the way in which his character slowly comes to life as each chapter progresses. Ultimately this is a story of hope and second chances despite the world being in stark contrast.

    Graphics - stunning, beautiful and full of detail. The remastered version definitely delivers in this aspect. There's not much needed to be said here - just look at the videos and screenshots and you'll know it looks gorgeous.

    Overall this is a 10/10 masterpiece of a game and if you haven't yet played it I would seriously question your life choices.    … Expand

    Amazing and strong narrative pushes the limits of realism in this crude world. The Last of Us succeeds creating a dense atmosphere, tense situations and a compelling storyline that not many games achieve.
    In addition, it isn't a slog to play as other Naughty games. This is mainly because mechanics are clever and interesting. Use of the environment and crafting are on point,
    Just masterful

    Replaying the game on the most difficult setting forces a different playstyle and increases the replay factor.

    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.
