    For some reason, I couldn't really get into this game as much as I wanted to. The story was good but I found myself getting bored of repeated, similar encounters and getting lost on occasion. I personally didn't really get into the story until the final third. The hint system was a nice touch for someone like me who does get lost easily and I think more games should have this option.

    General Overview: Fantastic story, smooth graphics and flawless game play. I am a PS4 convert so I can't comment on the prior console version vs. this one, but as a new player experiencing it, this is as good as it gets for post apocalyptic games that use a zombie-esque theme. Voice acting is tremendous, the story is captivating and multi-player is fun and well designed. All in all aGeneral Overview: Fantastic story, smooth graphics and flawless game play. I am a PS4 convert so I can't comment on the prior console version vs. this one, but as a new player experiencing it, this is as good as it gets for post apocalyptic games that use a zombie-esque theme. Voice acting is tremendous, the story is captivating and multi-player is fun and well designed. All in all a must play game in my book.

    TL;DNR: 10 - superb, smooth graphics, great game play, exciting and challenging combat; tremendous atmosphere and immersion; well written dialogue and excellent story telling all around. One of the best games ever created. However, if you have the PS3 version I am not able to comment on any level of improvement, but this current version, for someone new to the PS4 I can say that this is a must play game.

    Technology/engine: Super smooth graphics, excellent game play supported by flawless optimization. Use the dual shock very well and nothing feels forced or superfluous.

    AI: Great AI with significant behavior variations keeping the game tense and fluid.

    Graphics: 10 - Absolutely stunning at 60 FPS and 1080p.

    Sound: Excellent ambient noise and great source to distance recognition. Sound plays a HUGE role in the game and it is very well implemented.

    Soundtrack: 10 - Very fitting music that adds to the intensity and immersion of the game.

    Voice acting: 10 - Excellent acting all around. Very well delivered dialogue and great moments of small levity in this harsh and cruel future.

    Crafting: 10 - Very well implemented with just the right amount of scarcity of resources. Crafting can turn the tide of a confrontation, which is how it should.

    Customization: 10 - there is no real variation in appearance but the skill system allows you to augment how you enjoy playing. Its another well designed a feature that really adds to the game overall.

    Gameplay systems 10 - Great stealth, excellent combat utilizing melee, guns and traps and forcing a player to think ahead and execute a plan of attack with few if any flaws.

    Controls: 10 - Great use of the Dualshock controller and integration of the central touch pad.

    Story: 10 - It is not often that you come across a game with such a deep and well told narrative. If you love games for the stories that they tell, this one is a must play and is in the ranks of Ragnar Tornquist, Kirkman, Ken Levine and other great narrative story tellers of game development.

    Multiplayer: 10 - well balanced and fun to play.    … Expand

    Though Naughty Dog did release some great news, way to keep people playing it. Naughty Dog had said they are releasing New The last of us DLC. Not single player dlc but multiplayer (which I personally love). TBH, anyone who played it on the ps3 should give it pretty much the same score or better (if you were that guy that gave it 9 because of the graphics o.0 ) Hope people would agree with me as it is an honest review.    … Expand

    The Original Was Amazing – This One is Even Better

    The Last of Us became a generation defining title when it launched last year on PlayStation 3, and many would go even further to say that it was instantly one of the best games of all time. Statements like that are hard to argue against when The Last of Us is now the most awarded game in history by critics. I fall right into that    The Original Was Amazing – This One is Even Better

    The Last of Us became a generation defining title when it launched last year on PlayStation 3, and many would go even further to say that it was instantly one of the best games of all time. Statements like that are hard to argue against when The Last of Us is now the most awarded game in history by critics. I fall right into that camp: before playing The Last of Us for the first time, I had never considered a game to be worthy of a 10/10 score. As immersive as a game may be, as beautiful as it may look, or as gripping as the story may be, I’ve always believed that there will be enough problems to keep games off of the perfect score pedestal. The Last of Us shattered that belief.

    The Last of Us: Remastered is the exact same game the original was a year ago. However, it also includes all of the DLC, was upgraded to run at 1080p and 60fps, and includes a photo mode that lets players act like they are using Instagram in the game’s post pandemic setting.

    What all of this meant for me is quite simple — The Last of Us: Remastered instantly overtook the throne of best game I have ever played. Sure, I will never get the first playthrough reaction again because I know what is going to happen, but does that take away from just how incredible this game is? Absolutely not. Recently, one of the writers here at Middle Of Nowhere Gaming made a bold claim that The Last of Us actually gets better the more you play it, unlike most other games. And you know what? He is completely right; it really does.

    Just how much better could a remastered version be? Well, let’s talk about just how beautiful TLOU: Remastered really is. If you played the original on PlayStation 3, you will immediately be able to tell the difference just by watching the opening cutscenes. Joel and Sarah look much sharper than they used to, and the camera moves around like it’s a feather floating on the wind. Do you think I am sugarcoating or exaggerating? I’m not.

    However, even though Remastered looks and feels exponentially better than its source material, there are minor hiccups here and there. One problem I ran into was that I felt motion sick each time I had to sprint during the first hour or two of the game. I am by no means a tech-genius, so I can’t say I understand exactly what affects the change from 30fps to 60fps can have on people, but it made me feel sick several times. But it’s not all bad! If you decide to stick it out with 60fps instead of locking it back at 30 you will almost certainly grow accustomed to it with time. It took me about two or three hours to finally shake the feeling. On top of that, 60fps makes the gunplay so much better. The combat felt faster and tighter — something that Naughty Dog’s gunfights are not usually known for.

    The only other issue I had with the graphics was the occasional glitch where people would run through walls, get stuck running in place, etc. This kind of thing happens in just about every game if you look hard enough, so it should be taken lightly because it didn’t happen often.

    Naughty Dog’s decision to add a photo mode to TLOU: Remastered was a very smart move. What better way to show off all the hard work and dedication the team put into this game than adding the ability to snap awesome photos of the many incredible sights/scenes found in the game? On top of this, they added the option to add filters to each photo you take, making it feel just like Instagram. We live in a society where the masses are hungry to share, like, and comment on as much content as possible; Naughty Dog knew this, and it’s why it was such an important addition.

    All of that said, the best part about Remastered may be that it includes the Left Behind DLC and two multiplayer map packs for less than the original price when when the game was released WITHOUT the extra content last year. Left Behind is a heartwrenching flashback story about Ellie that players will now be able to play whenever they want (preferably after beating the main story). The multiplayer maps were really fun to play on, especially since it runs much smoother graphically now than it used to.

    The Verdict: 10 out of 10

    The Last of Us: Remastered is by far the best game I have played on PlayStation 4 so far, and I now consider it the best game I have ever played. If you still only have a PlayStation 3, the original version will suite you just fine, as it still holds up incredibly well. However, if you own a PlayStation 4, you are doing yourself a disservice by not playing the Remastered version. The graphics are so noticeably better that you will see the difference right away, and the additions of the photo mode and all of the DLC make the package seem criminally underpriced. Do yourself a favor and get this game. You’d be hard pressed to find a prettier game that also has one of the best stories ever told in any format.    … Expand

    The upgrades to 1080p and 60 FPS should be reason enough to call this remastered, but Naughty Dog has included all of its previous DLC and updates which gives you a more than the Value of the game and should give reason to the Non-DLC gamers out there to have a better (and maybe even a new) experience with a more complete game.

    I am sure for those who have already put more than 30 Hours into the PS3 version will have a hard time recommitting to "Game of the Year" edition (so to speak), but it shouldn't cause the game to receive lower ratings.

    This game is simply put as such, if you LOVED the game on the PS3, then owning a more complete version with better overall performance (at a $25 trade-in rate at Gamestop) is a No-brainer. If you have NOT played this game, it is a highly cinematic, stealth, action, horror game that will surely give any gamer an amazing experience and worth every penny. If you played the PS3 version and felt like you already experienced everything there is to offer, than there is not much purpose in re-buying it.    … Expand

    I enjoy games with a strong story the most and this is like playing a movie. The difference between the PS3 and PS4 version is like playing on VHS and now on Blu Ray. This is now my favourite game on PS4. For those that have not played it ever this is the best version, if you aren't the kind of person who will re-buy a favourite film on Blu-Ray then you may want to skip as there's not a lot new.

It's called anything from a masterpiece to the greatest game people have played, but this is the remaster, so I'm going to focus on how worth it it is to pick up for a first, as well as a second play through.

    If you have never played this game before, buy it. This game will give you more hours and higher quality gameplay than almost any other for the cost. The replay value, multiplayer, free DLC and difficulty are enough to warrant the purchase, but if you already owned it on PS3...

    Buy it again. In order to see why this game is worth picking up a second time, let's look at what "Remastered" actually means. 49 dollars gets you:

    - 30 dollars worth of DLC bundled in free.
    - Improved visuals, shadows, framerate (60 fps), textures, etc.
    - Dualshock 4 integration. Audio logs can now be played via the controller instead of needing to stay in the menu, the light bar signals how low your health is, etc.
    - FULL LENGTH making of documentary included.
    - Directors commentary optional during cut scenes, includes other voice actors as well.
    - Photo mode.
    - Hardest difficulty mode that used to be DLC now included as well as being accessible for first play throughs.
    - Advanced audio options finally.
    -Multiplayer boost for Ps3 owners.

    So for 49 dollars, you get 30 dollars worth of DLC, a full length documentary, a multiplayer boost, a new difficulty available instantly... and then after that you add on the remastered visuals and audio.

    This game features new game plus, high difficulties, engaging and unique multiplayer, engaging and free DLC and now it comes packed with interested special features. All for less money than other games on the system. It's the best bang for your buck for the PS4, even for returning players.

    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.
