    By far my all time favourite game. Closest to perfection I have ever seen, and this is coming from a guy who loves to criticize games. The story, the characters, the gameplay, the music... I don't think I would change anything. This game is definitely a playstation classic and should be on anyone's console who loves immersive storytelling and brilliant gameplay.

    I was really surprised how much effort the developers put into the storyline of this game. Especially the ending made me think about a lot of things. I can't remember the last time I played a game that captivated me so much. (Actually, I don't even like the genre "Zombie-Games").

    The psychologic / philosophic elements of the Story are just amazing. It remembered me of a book from a German Philosopher (Richard David Precht - Die Kunst kein Egoist zu sein) which i've read some time ago.

    Great work! You can bet that i will order part II. But i think it will be hard to top it.

    What can I say about this game that hasn’t already been said? The graphics were phenomenal on the PS3 and they only look better on the PS4. The gameplay is fun and could very easily carry the game.

    Being born in 1988 and having spent the better part of 20 years or so playing games I struggle to remember a game that induced so much emotion as this game did. The opening scene itself is a masterpiece on its own.

    The general pacing of the game and the gameplay itself are all excellent. If you own a PS4 Pro then you get to enjoy the added benefits of either better visuals or increased

    The general pacing of the game and the gameplay itself are all excellent. If you own a PS4 Pro then you get to enjoy the added benefits of either better visuals or increased frame rate. The gameplay varies between slow and fast paced gameplay but most importantly never leaving you feeling bored at all.

    As others have said, if you own a PS4 then you owe it to yourself to at least try out this game and give yourself a chance to fall in love with it. I sure did.

    This is the best game I've ever played. Very intense for the entirety with some rewarding relaxing moments mixed in. The story is a 10 and the gameplay is also a 10. I wish it didn't end.

    Truly amazing, immersive, heart-breaking game. As you play, you find yourself in a foxhole with Joel and Ellie. Becoming brother to Joel, father to Ellie, you live and feel the emotions of this game. If you end this game without tearing up once, you aren't tough, you're just inhuman.

    Nerd Notes: I played this on a PS4 Pro using the framerate prioritisation mode, Standard Dualshock 4 controller, sitting a little over 8 feet from a 55” 1080p Samsung TV, for audio I used Bose AE2i Headphones, dynamic range setting was set as wide as possible for more immersion & I played on Normal difficulty.

    Nerd Notes: I played this on a PS4 Pro using the framerate prioritisation mode, Standard Dualshock 4 controller, sitting a little over 8 feet from a 55” 1080p Samsung TV, for audio I used Bose AE2i Headphones, dynamic range setting was set as wide as possible for more immersion & I played on Normal difficulty.

    It’s 2020 and whilst I spend allot of time last year playing through all 5 Uncharted titles on PS4. I have never played The Last of us. Bars & expectations were exceedingly high for this 2013 masterpiece & If anything I was scared if this game was going to have aged well in 2020.
    Story: Just when it feels as though we’ve had every ‘zombie’ story, The Last of Us swings a mean right hook and hits you with a story that’s not only damn right brilliant.

    The main characters: Joel & Ellie performed by Troy Baker & Ashley Johnson are some of the most polished & interesting characters I’ve ever had the pleasure to game as, I don’t want to give much away so I won’t go into more detail. But Joel & Ellie are not the end of this story, the supporting characters as well as factions are so memorable & brilliantly executed, games in 2020 still don’t have it as good as this!

    As you traverse the world you come across notes which add a whole new dimension to the game, letting you know that there are far more survivors out there. In most games I find notes like these to add very little to the story, but in The Last of Us it just makes you appreciate how vast
    The story stands.

    The Last of us’ story sparks curiosity. Meaning not all stories are rounded off, it leaves you with questions, which is a good thing! So much media tries to round off every story told and sell it off as ‘fan service’ but I’m a big fan of how I would go to bed at night after playing The Last of Us and wondering what was going to happen, how something might have happened & what would it be like if this happened instead! That is a testament to how great this game’s story is, it sticks with you long after putting the controller down.

    Gameplay: I was surprised how well The Last of Us still plays, the shooting I found to be a little rickety at the start, but as you upgrade throughout the story shooting becomes allot more fluid (I’m also an arse when it comes to shooting generally, which doesn’t help).

    Resorsed such as ammo are limited in The Last of Us, but did find it frustrating that not all enemies (who definitely carried guns) seemingly had no ammo when taken down.. I could understand this in more hardcore difficulty settings, but felt it was a little ‘forced’ It did however force me to play differently, use different weapons, techniques etc. so it’s swings and roundabouts.

    I knew going in that there was allot of stealth involved but I was happy that should you get spotted it doesn’t alert every enemy to your location, you’re able to takedown and hide which was great! Something we still don’t see enough of in 2020!

    I enjoyed the puzzle solving, there was a tasteful amount, without running into puzzles left, right & centre.

    I mentioned earlier that The Last of Us sparks curiosity, this remains true in all aspects, every building you enter there is usually a good reward for going off the track to explore, I did allot of exploring and still have so much more to see & I cannot wait for my next playthrough!

    Graphics:

    You know what? Even by today’s standards… this is a very pretty game! The textures were tac sharp, shadows were crispy fresh & the animation was the stellar quality you expect from Naughty Dog!

    I had a few times where aliasing was a thing, but this was just a very inherent issue for the PS3/360 era of gaming so I can’t judge too harshly for that, plus if I had a higher resolution TV and used the favour resolution mode I’d suspect this would have been less noticeable.

    The game looks great, I really don’t know what else to say, It was ahead of it’s time visually when it released in 2013 and I think it’ll remain pretty timeless because everything is just so well done!

    Sound/Music: The music really glues the elements of this game together, it’s got this raw naturalistic, striped back & built up vibe which seamlessly fits into the world of The Last of Us.

    The sound design is very good! It goes for a more neutral stance, (Rant: I’m not a fan of games where someone is talking to you from the other side of the room & it sounds like they’re right in your earhole). However when characters are far away you hear the reverberation of the voice more than the direct source which really transports you to the environments you’re exploring!

    Conclusion: If for whatever reason you’ve not played The Last of Us, I recommend that you do!
    It’s on the ‘Playstation Hits’ so in the UK its around £15 and often goes on sale, it’s a game you definitely won’t want to miss out on.

    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]
