    The Last of Us Remastered is a masterpiece. Story is a very merciless and unpredictable. One of the best games i have ever played, maybe the best one. // 10 points

    A fun game, but the game itself feels slow. The story isn’t amazing, the game play isn’t amazing, but they are all good and fun. I like it. This is a good game, and should be played by PlayStation players.

    The is the most overrated game I have ever played. I'd rather watch "The Last of Us" animated movie than relive the hours of mediocre gameplay. I'd get more out of this if I watched a well scripted condensed edited lets play on the Internet for sure.

    Full of scripted cheating BS that forces you into stupid insane avoidable situations. Oh and the combat is so unrefined to the point of jank. What is with the slow cumbersome wobbly aim of a geriatric in a care home. So like have the developers really ever picked up a bow/pistol/rifle and shot one ffs? Melee that glitches out with really shoddy camera angles.

    Seriously NFW Joel should be dead round about the horse section, but no spoilers, so... I liked the Joel character enough, but Ellie the swearing edgy mary sue teen character not so much. Another teen character is in the game and I was convinced that they was just a teen not going on forty like Ellie. Hyped game, scripted idiocy, unconvincing character development on the Ellie part, shoddy gameplay mechanics.

    It is meh gameplay to ok story, but nothing really at all special. If this got two hundred noted gaming awards? Then the era of the dedicated gamer is over and now it is the rein of the casual media consumer.

    The game has been always said to be a masterpiece, and I truly never understood why. When playing, i kept hoping for a game sort of like uncharted, as it was made by the same company, but all I got in my experience was sneaking around, picking up ladders, placing those ladders dow, and climbing up them. The Last of Us felt more like a movie, you couldn't go more than 5-10 minutes before walking into a cutscene, and even between those cutscenes had no action, the only action going on took place in the cutscenes. Getting into a cutscene was like rolling the dice, no action in the cutscene, no action in the game, action in the cutscene, well you've got a 50% chance of actually having a thrill in the game. A little tip to those people who want this game, I'd recommend you just buy a movie instead, you save yourself the money. You can even search up on places such as YouTube, "The Last of Us Full Movie", and that shows you everything that happens in the game, as they don't even need to try hard to even get rid of the gameplay, as there really is NO gameplay.

    Better graphics, smoother gameplay and a perfect game even better, I wrote my review a year ago to the PS3 version. The game of a generation, a masterpiece.

    The game cannot really be given a vote higher than 7 because it has 1 critical bug and several serious bugs, despite the updates/patches. The saving system is broken, with the autosave system overwriting the manual saves. The game hung once and the ragdoll physics is sometimes cause of ludicrous moments (like the bodies floating against gravity).

    Jesus is this game overhyped! Bland, copied-from-I, Legend story, uninteresting characters, repetitive gameplay, bad-scripted sequences, poor UI and chaotic crafting, absolutely terrible aiming, unbalanced resources.
    All that above cannot be counterweighted by still-good graphics and awesome level design and sceneries.

    All that above cannot be counterweighted by still-good graphics and awesome level design and sceneries.
    If you want already-outdone eyecandy and some sort of zombie-apocalypse simulator, go ahead.
    If you get bored after just few iterations of the same scenario or tend to outwit weak AI very quickly, you'll end up fighting the controls and bad scene layout instead of the enemies or logical tasks just after few hours of gameplay.

    I just wonder why this Uncharted's footlicker got so high scores.
    It took me half a year to play through just three hours of the game due to its lack for bondage-making. Why just so few other people noticed this?

    Total cheese fest. Cliched characters, cheesy dialogues, predictable twists that anyone with a brain size that of a cockroach can guess, ending that was copied from Prince of Persia 2008. Describing it in one word? Dogs**t

    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.

    *Was disappointing. The game had so much great talk on how mazing it was said to be but I just don't see it the gameplay was okay the graphics were decent and the characters were good I just don't see the game as so good.*

    It's the most overrated game of all time.

    Well. This game is all about awesomeness, perfectness and other best *nesses. Why? Just because the storyline, graphics (thanks ps4) and other stuff in this game are perfectly done by NaughtyGods.10/10 and fore sure the best action game of past years.

    It's a boring story. The world is a long corridor, with no possibility of taking an alternative path. Choices are limited to those dictated by an omnipresent morality. It is a nasty surprise for a title glorified by so many people.

    As a zombie fan and amazing story lover, I was looking forward to playing this one. But, I was disappointed.

    To put it simply: This is a great game for the average gamer who has never experienced a good story, and who doesn't mind plot holes. But for the story lovers and those of us who are looking for new experiences in video games, you might be disappointed. The gameplay is really
    As a zombie fan and amazing story lover, I was looking forward to playing this one. But, I was disappointed.

    To put it simply: This is a great game for the average gamer who has never experienced a good story, and who doesn't mind plot holes. But for the story lovers and those of us who are looking for new experiences in video games, you might be disappointed.

    The gameplay is really what this game is all about. Gameplay comes first and the story was built around it. And it's just a run-of-the-mill 3rd person action/stealth game, much like the Uncharted games, though there's more emphasis on inventory management and stealth in this game.

    During gameplay, you'll be going to a new area, killing everything that moves, and then going to the next area. Repeat that about 100 times to beat the game.

    What's worst about most of the gameplay is that it makes no sense story-wise. Why is it necessary to kill all other people I meet? Why do people instantly want to kill me on sight? Why do random people suddenly show up at my location at the exact same time I show up (and attempt to murder me)? It's not explained. It's just how the game works. The only time where you get to talk to other humans, rather than killing them is in cut scenes. It makes the story feel quite forced and disconnected from the gameplay.

    For the various story scenarios, basically take every zombie tv show and movie made before this game, nab all of the best scenes, and then put them into this game. I really felt like I was watching a rerun. This isn't necessarily bad, but again, I'm looking for a new experience and not the same-old zombie stuff.

    As for the main plot, it's quite weak and full of plot holes. Without spoiling anything, the main character (that you play primarily) is just a selfish/greedy old man that the game tries to portray as being heroic and just. His actions don't make sense, unless you accept that he's just stupid. He just "believes" things are right and does them, despite the evidence in front of him. And you don't get to go on a journey to find more evidence or to learn more about the world: instead your journey is full of murdering everyone that disagrees with you.

    The story just doesn't hold up to scrutiny and is actually quite bad when completely dissected. Though I must say that the little girl sections of it weren't that bad because she actually acts believably given her circumstances.

    So, the game isn't really for me, though I prefer stories with minimal plot holes, reasonable character actions, and gameplay that doesn't directly conflict with the story. Though for those who love Uncharted, this might be right up your alley.

    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

    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.

    Somehow Naughty Dog made one of the best games ever produced even better. The story is still top-notch, with relatable characters you'll grow to love (or hate). The graphics are STUNNING, and the controls are much improved with the DualShock 4 controller. This is a must-have for any video game enthusiast, even if you own the original PS3 version.

    I've been playing video games since the early 80's (yep, I'm that old!) and I can honestly say that The Last of Us is easily one of the finest games I have every played.

I must admit that when I started playing I thought 'I don't see what all the fuss is about, it's just another FPS'. But, I was oh so very very wrong. Once the game got going and the story kicked in I was completely hooked and I just needed to know what was going to happen next. There are certain parts of the game that leave you feeling genuinely upset, others leave you terrified and others make you feel a rush of happiness that you will never have felt in a game before. I know it sounds trite and cliche'd but that is how this game made me feel. The inclusion of the DLC Left Behind is brilliant as well and really add to the story.

    My only gripe would be the inclusion of the Photo Mode being applied to L3. I ended up switching photo mode off because I was fed up with being in a close quarters fight and the action stopping in Photo Mode as I'd pressed L3 by mistake. Very annoying!

    I would sum it up as a game with the stealth of Metal Gear Solid, the FPS of Killzone, graphics of no other game I have ever played and a story so deep and powerful that I'm slightly disappointed that I've finished it and know what happens at the end.

    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.
