    Oh boy, playing this game physically hurts me. The story is so poorly written and cliche, The characters are forced, especially towards the end. And the linearity of this game, like this game is more linear than a straight line. Why even make this a game, you barely have any control, just make it a tv show.

That episode can end around that time you first meet Ellie or when you make it out of the city. You'll have the same exact experience and it would work over all because in a video game you're expected to play as a character not play a cutscene. While having it a show will open it up to a much larger audience and it'll be much more successful. Expand

    PS3 version was one of the best games of 2013 (Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider beat it for me). I had hopes for the PS4 version to shine ... but was disappointed. The 'remaster' didn't change much including graphics.
    If you played it on PS3, don't bother with this one. If you did not, then definitely get this game. Would score a solid 8 if a new game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Im in like half of the playthrough and the story is pretty overrated, not amazing, not bad, pretty okay. The world is probably the strongest pros about this game. Very good looking locations, enviroments and all. I believed that this is how apocalpytic world could look like. Now for the biggest con of this game for me and why i gave it only 1/10. The combat and hardest difficulty (which i played on). First of all its **** insane how many bugs are in this game mostly in combat, how the game manages to bug itself so many times in such a different ways its beyond me that this is triple A game and even REMASTERED one. The game has no potential to be that hard like on the hardest diff. They just put it here for fun. The character u are moving is ultra clunky. The enemies dont even need to hit u. If u are too close to the enemy and he ends his attacking animation and doesnt hit u, dying animation still starts and u just die. The mob didnt had to hit u u just had to be in some **** magical area around this mob while he ends his attacking animation and thats it. U ARE DEAD. 0 precision. 0 potential for this game to be that hard. If u cant make game with fair combat that is polished in some basic level then dont put this hard diff into the game. Another thing is that in some areas zombies are just stupid **** mobs. In some areas they are hiding from u and runninng away from u like they had an AI upgrade while i wasnt watching. Also another thing is that in the first 3 hours of the game there are no zombies in the game at all. After this time they just magically spawn to chase u for like 3 hours and then they magically disaper to be replaced by those bandits. How is there so many **** bandits anyway. One of them literally said that whole group caught 5 people of potential food and supplies in 1 week. And there is like 100 of them. How the **** are they not starving to death. Ultra stupid **** They had to fill this garbo game with something so they copied 20 combat events changed 5 lines of text and changed enviroment in some of them. SUPER FUN.
    Graphics: 8/10
    Story: 5/10 (based on 10 hours of gameplay or so)
    Music -
    World: 9/10
    Combat (which is like 90% of the game): 3/10
    Difficulty management: 0/10 (hardest diff shouldn't even exist)

Skills that really do make a god damn difference like autopicking up ammo or getting 3x more crafting items. Oh and weapons get used to the very few they give you. But that doesn't matter anyway just buy a tactical shotgun(can't get without cash sorry, infact you can't own any shotgun without paying) and its the only gun you need and the one everyone uses.

    Its a total garbage, enemy and allies AI are ridiculous I've never seen anything terrible like this. If you play it on hard or grounded mode difficulty the game becomes totally broken. Savings are absolutely **** game saves in first of encounters if you kill a bunch of zombies and then suddenly die, it loads at first of encounter. I really regret paying for this game.

    The Last of Us is the very definition of an overrated game. Its story is a blend of post-apocalyptic tropes and ideas that have been done a million times before. Throw in some zombies for good measure. Why not? It's already a cliche mess.

    A game like this gets praise for its attempts to be similar to a movie or even a novel. Then the gameplay cuts in and it's about helping the AI get to another area of the map. Repositioning ladders, opening doors, etc. That's the exploration aspect, which would have been fine if the gameplay wasn't so stifling. In actuality, it's a boring cover-shooter just like every other cover shooter. Except it's not innovative or unique. Apparently you can combine old ideas together and people will enjoy it.

    Then the "stealth" gameplay kicks in and it's just as bad. Throw bricks at enemies. Hey, it's more fun than moving ladders, but not by much.

    This game is too linear, the story is so cliche we've heard it a thousand times. The combat is the only strong point of this game but they only tell you the very basics, everything else you have to discover from button mashing.

    Great game overall with a stellar story and voice work, however, the gameplay could have used more fine tuning, because it's not the most satisfying gun combat in the third person shooter genre. The graphics are great for a 2013 game, and the setting is very immersive and memorable. Recommended.

    Esse jogo é basicamente um Walking Simulator.A história é desinteressante,chata e genérica,a gameplay é ruim, dentre outros fatores. Eu ainda não acredito como esse jogo tem uma nota tão alta porque realmente não merece,muitos exclusivos da Sony conseguem superar facilmente The Last of Us,como Uncharted 4 que também foi desenvolvido pela Naughty Dog (mesma desenvolvedora do TLOU)

    When the game came out on PS3, I didn't think much of it. Sure it was NaughtyDog, but zombie survival games just are not my type of game. But after my brother bought it on his PS4 and let me give it a play, I must say that I'm stupidly surprised at what The Last of Us actually is. Its the story of two characters slowly growing together in a world that's been torn apart.

    I wont say anything else about the games story as I don't want to spoil it in any way. but other than that, the graphics are not the best on PS4, but its clean, sharp, runs beautifully and still retains NaughtyDogs sense art.

    The perfect remastering of a game that I would not have thought about playing for any other reason than it being from NaughtyDog has found its way into my PS4 library as a near perfect game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An astonishing game. One of the very few games actually made for adults. And I don't mean your average 14 year olds concept of adult, i.e. lots of nudity and violence. It certainly does contain plenty of the latter, but by adult I mean a proper emotionally based story where the characters change and evolve as it unfolds. This dynamic shift in the protagonists relationship is subtly played out through their interactions. A testimony to the story telling is that at the start of the game Joel really hasn't much time for Ellie at all and at one point is in two minds whether to just abandon her. However, by the end he is willing to sacrifice a possible cure for mankind to save her life. Due to the craftsmanship of the subtle story telling the player completely and utterly understands and sympathises with his action. I also like the non-stereotypical portrayal of a gay man. Well done Naughty Dog. Expand

    TLOU is one of those rare games that draws you in deep. It is a game that remains a part of you long after you have completed it. The deep, rich and emotional story is one of the greatest ever told in the history of gaming. Ellie and Joel are characters who you learn to feel for in a very human way by the end of the game. If games are considered art, then this is a prime example.

    The remastered version looks stunning and runs beautifully.

    The gameplay is as good as the first time I played. Level design is perfect, the controls and combat are fluent and feel realistic. Combat is brutal and gritty and every encounter feels like a struggle to protect your life and Ellie's. Enemies are intelligent and it takes some thought to progress (especially on first play through). The story encourages you to keep going to find out what happens next.

    The graphics are sharp and detailed. The scenery is stunning and vast. The addition of the DLC is worth the second purchase if like me you bought the ps3 version but not the DLC.The DLC is just as beautiful as the full game.

    If you have not already played The Last Of Us, I highly recommend it as one of the modern greats. This game will haunt you and be in every conversation about the greatest games for the rest of your life.

    This games is incredible and is much more realistic in its combat system. The story line and the change of pace between action and story are masterfully presented. This is a game well worth the price and is perhaps my favorite game that I have ever played. I am glad that I purchased a digital copy that I will never lose and that I can come back to time and time again.

    Obra maestra. Un videojuego que no puede faltar en una gran colección de Playstation 4, totalmente recomendado. Una mecanica exquisita, grandes graficos, la ambientacion es unica, una historia muy buena con personajes con gran carisma. Es de los pocos videojuegos que te entrega esa sensacion de estar recorriendo un pais completo con tal de cumplir la mision.

    With all the hype surrounding this game, and the talk of a film being made, I was worried then when I finally got to play 'The Last Of Us' it would be another AAA flop. How wrong I was.

    The gameplay itself is a standard 3rd person shooter mechanic, however, in this game there is a large emphasis on stealth and, like a true survival horror style game should do, you feel the need (on many occasion) to avoid contact with the enemy to save your valuable supplies for another, possible harder, encounter. This level of tension and immersion is one that I have never truly experienced with any other game (possibly my attachment to my squad in the final mission of Mass Effect 2) and it's this that takes TLoU to another level of gaming.

    The script and voice acting is sublime which aids with the immersion even further. The atmosphere (music, sound effects, lighting, etc.) of this world created by Naughty Dog is set wonderfully and the gameplay is fluid, effective and exciting. The gameplay is one I would describe as easy to learn - hard to master, which is the kind of gameplay that is few and far between nowadays. The game overall, can be quite difficult, especially for someone of a short attention span who would rather run and gun, but if played correctly, is incredibly rewarding and intense.

    The characters are not only likable but lovable and really make you feel as if you're part of the game. There were parts of the game when I would be shouting at the TV for Ellie or Joel's sake.

    Although having a PS3 when TLoU was release originally, I decided to wait for the game to be rereleased on PS4. Whilst this was probably a good choice with regards to the visuals, I noticed a few glitches that I assumed wouldn't have been present in the original version such as enemies running in circles, falling through the map, and dying instantly when getting stuck on a ledge. However, none of these ruined my experience of the game.

    In addition, DLC and multiplayer actually add to the game for once. The multiplayer is good fun and well built and balanced which is something I wasn't expecting. The DLC builds up the back story and fills in the gaps as brilliantly as the game told the original story.

    All-in-all, TLoU is an experience. An experience that you should not deprive yourself of having. I gave this game a 10/10, not because the game is flawless, but because I haven't enjoyed a game this much for a very long time (and I don't see me doing so for a long time in the future), and in an industry that is awash with repetitive, recycled, bland AAA titles, The Last of Us is a nice reminder that games have the potential to be as brilliant as any other art form.

    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.
