    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.

    I don't know if it is the DS4 or just that I was more focused on it this time, but I deeply enjoyed the whole game. Story was great and absorbing, lots of outcomes you didn't see coming, and characters you really get attached to.

    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.

    Don't think about buying it, just buy it.    … Expand

    This game is overrated a little bit. I mean the story is really great, but also exaggerated, unnatural, unbelievable (I mean the relations part, not the zombie one, zombie is extremaly believable). This story is like Leo DiCaprio in Wolf of WallStreet - it wants to much to get the Oscar. And it's visible. I don't buy this melodramatic formula. It's cheap for me.

    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.

Like would simple the plot about how as two try to find answers and survive in a new world, but this the simplicity is full depth.

    You might wonder, " If you liked it, why only 7?" It's all about the combat component of this game. Any fighting skirmish is like a puzzle. You listen to enemies, study their movement, find a pattern and quietly kill. The main problem is that each battle scene is similar to the previous one, only the locations change. After 3-4 hours it gets boring. You will have to take breaks, otherwise because of the constant boredom you throw the game.

    Many may say that it is possible to arrange a shoot. The gameplay is not meant to be that you took an active plot. Ammunition is sorely lacking.    … Expand

It's a bad game, but a good experience, overall its managed to still be propped up by that, but I'd never want to play through it again.

    The character movement is very stiff, a lot of the times you're left wondering why you cannot jump up places or squeeze through gaps. So most of the gameplay revolves around finding alternative routes, usually by finding a wooden pallet for Ellie, giving a boost up or finding a ladder. It really becomes tiresome, especially since you can see a big gap in the object that has fallen over, that for some reason the game decides would be impossible to get through.

    I just found myself through all the Infected and shooting scenes, just saying to myself "alright we'll just get past this to get to the story". I never wanted to do the shooting or the stealth, the combat isn't good and the controls are too stiff for stealth. Hitman makes stealth fun and Gears of War makes shooting fun, but The Last of Us is neither. I never actually enjoyed the gameplay part of the game, my favourite parts were the down time, the moments I was exploring and finding cool random things in the world. What's good is the DLC is pretty much 80% of this, why I enjoyed playing the DLC more than the actual main game.

    I would love to see The Last of Us 2, maybe telling the story of the downfall as the opening part of the game was the best part of The Last of Us. I just think The Last of Us is good, just nothing amazing.    … Expand

    The Last of Us has ruined games for me. Since playing this masterpiece, nothing has come close to meeting the high expectations for narrative scope and world design that the developers Naughty Dog have set.

Since playing this masterpiece, nothing has come close to meeting the high expectations for narrative scope and world design that the developers Naughty Dog have set.
    I'll begin with the one negative I can genuinely think of for this game: The weapon choice for the flamethrower seems a bit out of place and its inclusion towards the end doesn't really make sense. That's it. Pretty minor, and when the only criticism you have for a game is that there's a **** flamethrower in it, you know you're playing something pretty good.
    Onto the positives:
    1. The story, whilst it's been done a thousand times before, feels fresh, and you genuinely don't know where it's going at all. It's pacing is perfect, with massive, adrenaline fuelled bosses/set pieces juxtaposed with moments of tranquillity, just to explore the world. The way it's told doesn't miss a beat through it's 13-16 hour run time. An emotionally gripping tale topped with a somewhat bittersweet finale.
    2.The world that's been crafted is one of the finest in all of gaming, as it portrays a barren society through its dilapidated buildings and overgrown vegetation whilst keeping the sense that this world was once inhabited. The areas you traverse are varied and interesting, encouraging exploration into every nook to discover another artifact that pieces the story together.
    3. The characters are all very engaging, however the two that the story focuses on, two survivors brought together by circumstance, have an unmatched level of depth and chemistry. Their relationship grows and dwindles and breaks and reforms multiple times throughout the story, with the excellent voice acting and motion capture for these two making their trials and tribulations feel authentic. You want to root for these two, but at times you'll question whether you should.
    4. The gameplay plays second fiddle to the story, however the immersion of the combat drags you deeper into the world by making you carefully craft items and hoard ammo from a limited amount of supplies found throughout the world. This makes you scavenge for more ways to survive, and also shapes the way you enter fights, with the constant danger of being without ammo always just one mistimed shot away. The human enemies encountered are standard, but the two main zombies (Infected as they're referred to) fought add terror and variety to proceedings. They make you use stealth, craft bombs and keep your distance because confronting them is so distressing. Action sequences are pulsating and nerve wracking at once, the way they should be.
    5. The musical score is immense, nothing more to add.
    6. The DLC is pretty awesome and adds an overall insight into one of gaming's best child characters, Ellie, as we see her touching yet inevitably tragic back story unfold.
    7. The online multiplayer is more enjoyable than expected. Whilst I wouldn't buy the game solely for it, it offered a few more fun hours with the combat mechanics.

    To conclude, The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played. It's gripping, heartbreaking, eye opening and stunning all at the same time. A masterpiece, a game that hopefully proves what impact video games can have on the entertainment medium. Play it right now.    … Expand

The story sucks you in and makes you care about the characters. I was so involved that i was having to step back and take in just how much i was emotionally involved. Im cynical as hell and never believed this game could even be close to as good as advertised. I didnt buy on PS3; playing something else. And thank god...the remastered version comes with all DLCs so my first experience was even better. I probably wouldnt have bought this game either if i wasnt looking for a PS4 game but im so glad i did. Also the multiplayer isnt just tacked on. Multiplayer play is really unique and lot of fun to play. I couldnt believe how many peeps who played this on the PS3 couldnt wait to pay $60 again to play on PS4. Final words...Do not buy another game until you play this. You will love it. Believe the hype and get this game. Its the best game for the PS4 easy. This is written in middle November and nothing released beats it. Get this game NOW, its so addictive, satisfying, suspenseful, challenging, innovative, emotional and frickin fun.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played On: Hard

    While The Last of Us delivers a superb story, it's held back by some questionable gameplay mechanics that seem to keep it from being an entirely satisfying experience. More often than not, the game forces players into combat situations that feel arbitrarily set in place. While sneaking past enemies is certainly a mainstay in the game, at times it will throw unexpected enemies at the player that cannot be avoided, forcing a fight.

    While this wouldn't be such an issue in certain other games, it does take one out of the seriousness of the story itself when you are forced to have Joel run up and brawl several enemies to death. This, mixed with the lack of ammo one will find later on (despite the fact you can stealth kill individuals who are equipped with fully loaded guns and they drop nothing) ends up making the game feel like a brawl-a-thon which is clunky and boring.

    Mechanics aside, the story is what really shines through. While the overall story arc itself isn't particularly unique or interesting, what makes the game are the characters. Ellie is perhaps one of the best female leads in a video game in history, while Joel, often called "Tex" by his partner earlier in the story, really sells the hard-ass survivor, and his character arc is one of the best I've seen in recent media story-telling. However, a chapter near the middle that starts off interesting begins to feel as if it demands too much time for too little pay-off, with its finish eliciting a sigh of relief rather than a fond farewell.

    Overall, while the story itself is quite enjoyable, primarily the characters themselves, it begins to drag in one of the middle chapters before picking up once again in the next, and the gameplay mechanics begin to feel like a detriment rather than a benefit half-way to three-quarters of the way through it. This, mixed with an ending sequence that felt too fast and easy, leaves one realizing that the greatness of this game isn't in its gameplay.    … Expand

    That said, it is now 3 months ago since i completed The Last of Us on PS4, which is the first time i played it, and still to this day, the entirety of the game still chills my bones, sometimes it just hits me, without warning, about how this game made me feel, and still makes me feel although i don't play it anymore!

    The story hit hard, and it hit good, and still i am in awe of this game!

    Not only does the core game mechanics work super well, the level and art design hit the ball out of the park on this one!

    It had a satisfying, albeit disturbing and emotional beginning, middle, and an end.

    The feeling i got when i played the game, and to this day, still haunts me. It almost haunts me so much, that i don't wanna play the game again, cause it was so intense, and it felt so very very true!

    Games and Movies are a high passion for me, and i always seek storytelling perfection, as there are many many games and movies i love, The Last of Us is the one that hit me the most!

    I cannot express exactly how i feel about this game, cause it's ineffable for me!

    Hands down!!! The best game, i have EVER, played!

    I deep down wish so much, that i could shake Neil Druckmann's hand, and thank him and his team, for a story of a lifetime, that you have given me. I will probably never forget what this game made me feel!

The Last of Us is an actionI got the Last of Us around the time it came out but never managed to find the time to finish it. The game has amassed many accolades and awards from critics and is considered one of the greatest games of all time. I was finally able to find the time to finish it. The Last of Us even still in 2016 is one of the best PlayStation exclusives I have ever played. The Last of Us is an action survival game developed by Naughty Dog well know for the Uncharted series. Hearing that the game took place in a post-apocalyptic zombie setting my hopes went down. The post-apocalyptic zombie genre is beginning to get real stale and old. People have compared this game to the Walking Dead TV series that I have no inclination in watching. For this review I will try to push aside all my views on the genre and focus instead on the game and explain why I am able to like this game but still not like the genre it is in.
    The Last of Us was made a few years ago back in 2013 at the end of 7th console generation. I will be reviewing the remastered version on PS4 which looks surprisingly beautiful and breathtaking for a post-apocalyptic setting. Instead of creating a generic desert wasteland setting the Last of Us features a variety of unique environments from collapsed cities and suburbs where plants and nature are returning to flourish, stunning mountains full of trees rivers and wildlife to snowy locations up in the mountains. The graphics have also aged surprisingly well but do not look as impressive as some of the current 8th generation game engines. How well the graphics have held up his a testament to the fact that photo-realistic graphics can be just as stunning if not better than stylized ones.The game features limited types of enemies which include infected zombies and bandits and raiders and the occasional soldiers. I found the infected design better than most zombie designs because of the fact that they are infected by a fungal infection based off of the real life fungal infection that happens to insects called cordyceps. I found the zombie enemies still unexciting and uninspired and I felt they could have done more with the fungal infection theme. I find zombies a repetitive uninspired enemies that are too prevalent in the game industry. I found the raider encounters tense and exciting especially the encounters in the winter section of the game. Overall the Last of Us offers an impressive presentation that will not be forgotten excusing the boring zombie enemies.
    Story wise the Last of Us tells an unforgettable story that you will not forget. I found the story so enjoyable that I recommend playing this game for the story alone. The Last of Us stars the main characters of Joel and Ellie. I found them some of the most well developed characters in a video game period. I don’t want to spoil the story at all because it is that good. All I will say is that the game takes place during the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse in the U.S. The goal is to escort Ellie a 13 year old girl who is immune to the virus to the lab of the Fireflies a terrorist organization that fights against the now remaining U.S. government which has become militarized. The story will keep you on edge as you watch Ellie and Joel travel across the country trying to survive. By the end of the game you will gripping your controlling hoping that Ellie and Joel can make it out alive. My favorite character by far is Ellie and I found her to be entertaining, sympathetic, and funny all at the same time. I found the ending satisfying and encompasses the tone of the game.
    The Last of Us offers fun innovative gameplay that helps add to game's narrative and graphics. The Last of Us uses the standard survival gameplay system. The game uses stealth and a crafting system where combat is done with an over the shoulder perspective. The game also has the occasional boss fights as well. The gameplay is nothing to write home about yet its simplicity is its beauty. The gameplay allows the player to experience the story and atmosphere without being interrupted. I found the melee combat nice and crunchy and allows the player to feel every painful brutal attack you give to each enemy. The gameplay adds to brutal nature of the story by having the player engage in guerilla warfare by having the player use handcrafted weapons and basic firearms. I did find some weapons unnecessary such as the flamethrower and automatic weapons. They take away from the survival nature of the combat and turn it into a generic over the shoulder shooter like most games. The Last of Us delivers in making tense survival gameplay that will keep entertained throughout the game.

    The Last of Us is an essential game that should be played by all Playstation users. The game features atmospheric realistic environments and crafts a story that is so excellent it will be remembered long after finishing the game. The survival gameplay is great but does not quite measure up to the game’s story and atmosphere. I believe that there will never be such a thing as a perfect game but the Last of Us comes extremely close. The game has a few flaws such as the long load times and zombie enemies which I found simplistic compared to the game’s great story and characters. Despite the fact that I do not like the zombie apocalypse genre, I found that The Last of Us a masterpiece. When I finished the game and saw the credits roll I realized that the game was not about the zombies but the human drama instead and what people will do to protect the ones they love.

They could not do justice to this story. At least not in a 1 to 3 hour movie. Perhaps a miniseries, 10 part, 10 hours. Anyway back to the game. The mechanics work just fine, the gameplay is great, the shooting, running, melee, all are top notch. The story grabs you from the start and does not let you go. I am a huge fan of Mass Effect and the development of each character within its story. The Last of Us creates a bond between player and characters like no other game. The entire game focuses on struggle, loss and the human desire to fight on and find any hope you can to drive you. I thought this would be another zombie game...I could not have been more wrong. Sure zombies infest the world, but the real terror is the people. Last of Us captures humanity in all its ugliness, and does it beautifully. I am 42 years old and have played games forever. I remember Zelda, wow, I remember a lot of great titles. Last of Us is truly in the argument for greatest game ever....period.… Expand

For me and what I look for in video games The Last of Us is as perfect of a game as I could ever hope to find. You play as Joel. A middle aged parent living in a quarantine zone in Boston. I won't give too much away but Joel has a friend named Tess, and both are very good at smuggling. It becomes quite apparent that what is left of the United States government is corrupt and loves censorship. Anyway, it is really hard to give you much more than that without spoiling a lot. It is not an open world game. Instead it focuses on a more linear approach but at the same time rewards exploring players. You will need supplies and ammunition both of which are very hard to find so make everything count. I also suggest playing on hard your first run through. Normal can be a bit too easy at times. If you own a ps4 or ps3 pick this game up as soon as possible. People will be talking about this game for years to come, and now that The Last of Us part 2 is in the works now is the perfect time to play it.… Expand

    This is one of the most immersing game experiences I've ever had. I actually felt as if I had become Joel, trekking through this deadly, near hopeless world, struggling to survive for just one more day. On occasion, this level of immersion is broken, but for the most part, I truly felt like I had stepped into the shoes of the protagonist.

On occasion, this level of immersion is broken, but for the most part, I truly felt like I had stepped into the shoes of the protagonist.

    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.

    Visual improvements and three included DLCs don’t justify buying this game again, but if you haven’t played it on PS3 yet, you’re in for long hours of valuable entertainment. [Sept 2014, p.59]

    One of the best titles of the previous generation is now available in all the next-gen glory and also with all the DLCs. Take it or leave it. [Issue#245]
