    Fully finished game for 2 times. 2nd time was in 2020 – 2 years after the 1st time and it still a Masterpiece! I've notices that playing for Ellie is much more interesting because she is a fragile. Joel could receive much damage even on Hard level but she can't so it's more challenging to deal with enemies. Each good shot is treated as a big victory.

    Looking forward for the Part 2 -

    I've finally found the time to review my favorite game of all time! The Last of Us is literally the best game I have ever played. It nails everything!

I was 16 years old at the time of release (June 2013 on PS3) and I've never played a videogame before that is so riveting, emotional moving and so relatable in many ways. The journey of Joel and Ellie is brutal, violent, hopeless and yet so beautiful. The love between these two characters and the relationship that is developing throughout the game is the centerpiece of the experience. You can easily put yourself in Ellie and Joel's shoes, because every action they make is understandable and relatable. I can't wait to play the continuation of Ellie and Joel's journey!! Thank you Naughty Dog for creating this world and these unforgettable characters! The PS4 version is the best way to experience this masterpiece! Expand

    Without a doubt, the best game I have ever played on console, it crazy that Naughty Dog went from Crash Badicoot (which I absolutely adored as a child) to such a real life heart thumping amazingly created game inside and out.

I loved the story, I loved the characters, I love the emotion but into this game, I rarely get upset when playing games, but my God, I had to hold back a few tears when playing this, from the very start with how life like death felt like in a game, to the very end. I cannot wait until the second one, and I am 95% sure it will live up to the first one. Expand

    Naughty Dog really killed all the other linear story based third person shooters out there. The game is very well written, with a outstanding acting, voice overs, etc. All the mechanics feel fluent and natural.

    The Last of Us is one of the answers to the question "why I bought ps4?".
    I had great expectations from this game. And they all came true.
    The best story. The best post-apocalyptic world. Beautiful soundtrack. Quite normal graphics, even for 2018. One of the best games of all time.

    Played many times on ps3, bought the remastered for ps4 still playing it in 2k19, simply because the story is fantastic. This is a must play, game-play/controls are good and the graphics is good. Well clap clap Naughtydog.

    I dont know how I missed this game the first time around. The first time trying it I dont think I gave it a chance nor was I patient enough. Now getting the remastered edition and having more time on my hands to enjoy what can I say other than this reminds me so much of a thriller like Manhunt back in the day. 10/10 and I haven't even seen enough of the story but the game play andI dont know how I missed this game the first time around.

This is all complimented by the soundtrack, visuals, and deeply intense nerve-racking game-play which is nightmare inducing and gets your blood pumping. This game was an amazing experience and possibly the greatest game ever made.

    The Last of us remastered is one the greatest video games every made in terms of gameplay, graphics, music and story.

    The Last of us remastered is one the greatest video games every made in terms of gameplay, graphics, music and story.
    The game tells a gripping tale of two people who don’t know each other and are strangers to each other. They are both trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world we’re an infected outbreak has gone loose. The game shows you how these two people are becoming closer together. The outbreak is also a more grounded take on a zombie out break, instead of just being zombies, they are now infected by a fungus type infection called the cordyceps. This game brings a lot of strategy to the standard bet em up/shooter genre. It brings in elements of survival gameplay with limited resources and ammo. This forces you to do stealth which is hard in its own way.
    The music is very mellow but complements the story and gameplay. It was very well done by gustavo santaolalla.
    The game is a refreshing spin on the zombie and post apocalyptic formula we have become so a costumed to today. The game shows us as people just how lucky we are to live in a organized society. There is no video game experience like it. Except the Last of Us Part 2

    The Last of Us is an amazing video game rather you have it on the PlayStation 4, or PlayStation 3. The game is labelled a sub-genre called action-adventure survival horror which is a mouthful. It has a beautiful atmosphere, and visuals are great. The gameplay is fun, and fits with the setting. It has minor flaws like repeating a few puzzles, but that's nothing to bad.

    Playing the game in 2019 on grounded mode was a frustrating and scary experience. Without listening mode and dieing with one shot was tough as nails but felt very satisfying once i had completed it.

    There is not much else to say that has not been said already. It is a beautiful story of friendship and loss that is not easy to forget, the story sticks with you because the characters feel

    There is not much else to say that has not been said already. It is a beautiful story of friendship and loss that is not easy to forget, the story sticks with you because the characters feel so real, thanks to the fantastic voice acting and sound mixing. It made you care for the characters and keeps you interested until the end.

    I am looking forward to the sequel releasing in 2020, it wont be easy to top one of the best Playstation games but i have high hopes in Naughty Dog.

    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]
