    Naughty dog strikes again. The last of us remastered is beautiful to look at and it retains all the great qualities of the previous version of the PlayStation 3. with the addition of the DLC telling Ellie story before she met up with Joel is very compelling and adds new detail and depth to the character.

    I bought a ps4 just for this game, after watching demos and reviews I gave in. I can say quite happily that it was worth it, I loved everything about this game and it was entertaining enough that my partner watched me play through it. I strongly recommend this to anyone that likes a bit of everything in their game.

    As for the game The Last Of Us, my impressions are very positive.

I lowered the game by one point estimate for a fairly controversial ending in terms of "good" humanity, if it can be called so, and some strange moments in the game that you can just "run". As for the version for next-generation consoles, it is awesome. Fps consistently high, graphics and textures are on a very good level. Overall: great remake of one of the best exclusives of the past generation, and certainly the game, which can not be passed by anyone, ever. Ranked # 9 of 10.… Expand

The gameplay is fantastic with smooth slick controls and an easy to use interface. The multiplayer has some great ideas that will have you playing it for hours on end although the story is defintely where its at. A must buy and a 9/10 must play. Amazing.… Expand

But, does The Last of Us: Remastered warrant purchase on Sony’s next-generation, or was it best left untouched and in the past?

    While I never experienced The Last of Us on PS3, I was able to spend about 100+ playing The Last of Us: Remastered on PS4 in both singleplayer and multiplayer game modes. The Last of Us: Remastered is one of the most brilliant singleplayer stories ever created, and despite being set in an already overpopulated post-apocalyptic survival genre, does an excellent job of distinguishing itself as a truly remarkable title. The singleplayer story will have you on the edge of your seat throughout its entirety as Naughty Dog puts you through an emotional rollercoaster of events set in the not so distant future. Threats lie around every corner, and you will be challenged on even the easiest of difficulty settings. However, while The Last of Us: Remastered delivers an exceptional experience in terms of its singleplayer, the same cannot be said for the multiplayer. While the multiplayer gametypes deliver a rather refreshing and unique variant on the third person shooter, they fail to provide what could have been a defining feature of the title. The multiplayer component of the game is plagued by network issues, incomplete balancing, and DLC pay-to-win microtransactions that prevent players from enjoying the multiplayer as it could have been. However, the shortcomings of The Last of Us: Remastered multiplayer should not prevent anyone from purchasing it, as the game is truly a testament to what singleplayer should be in videogames. Naughty Dog truly delivered one of the most influential and memorable gaming experiences, and I hope that this IP becomes one of Naught Dog’s flagship franchises alongside the Uncharted series. If you have already played The Last of Us on PS3, you might want to pass on the Remastered version, but if you have never played the title, I highly recommend you make this part of your collection.    … Expand

It is a pretty beautiful game. The colours pops out beautifully and the visuals are fan-f**kingtastic . I have never seen a game this graphically awesome. The only thing I don't like about the game is the AI system. The AI is extremely clunky at times, sometimes they don't know where you are at, stuck near a wall and stuff like that. The enemy AI is quite dumb, even on HARD mode. They also have the same problem with the allies, too, some of which that could spoil the whole game. Stealth still okay at least. Without the AI problems, it would have been a perfect game, but still, if you want to get red eyes (good thing) when you see the graphics, i have to recommend this game for you, even when you have played the original. This game will have you saying " WOW LUK AT DEM GRAFIKS M9!!!!" for hours to come. Conclusion: BUY.… Expand

    The Last of Us Remastered is the best game I have ever experienced, and no doubt in my mind the best game out on the Ps4 right now. The plot is beautifully put together, and the graphics match that beauty. This game truly is an experience all gamers must have and in my eyes, passes up many of the other Big Name games on Ps4 such as GTA 5. All in all, definitely worth the $50.

    What I loved about this game, is that your just a regular person trying to get through (that and some not-to-over-the-top climbing abilities). The story is really intense, even in the late/end game when they switch things around, it still holds together really well. It never drops pace.

    The multiplayer to me wasn't as fun as the story, but that doesn't mean it was bad. I just wouldn't play it and I dont think this game even needs a multiplayer to be a success.

    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

    I never played the original game because I don't own a PS3 so I knew I'd be getting this game for the PS4. If you've already played TLOU on the PS3, this game likely isn't enough incentive to buy it again, although it does include a higher frame rate and resolution as well as 2 multiplayer map packs and a single player DLC (Left Behind).

    As for single player, it's great. The environment is always detailed and beautiful and the combat is always intense. You won't just be fighting variations of the berserk infected but other survivors as well, mostly ones who want to kill you for your supplies. You can craft various items such as Molotov cocktails and health items as well as swallow pills to upgrade different abilities and use miscellaneous parts to upgrade your variety of firearms. On top of the gameplay is the emotional story which involves a harsh middle-aged man escorting and eventually bonding with a young girl of 14. The game is great from start to finish but not quite the masterpiece it's made out to be.
    Lastly, there's multiplayer which is a fun extra but not fantastic in my opinion. There are three modes as well as custom loadouts and characters. Again, it's fun, but play this game for its single player.    … Expand

    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.
