    A wonderful, awe-worthy experience that is absolutely worth another purchase. If you have no desire to play the game once again, then simply refrain from buying it. But if you are yet to experience TLOU, I highly recommend this game, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is the best game of this generation.

    Hear me out, this game shouldn't be ranked at all, this game is my all time favorite in every video game genre, I've never felt more immersed in a somewhat *not real* universe until I started this adventure, this is simply a god send. Getting through the grounded difficulty reevaluated my view on what was considered a real challenge, a good and rewarding one.

    Easiest 10 I've ever played, the story, the character development, the moral dilemmas, the gameplay, even the graphics for it's time, it's the most textbook perfect game there is.

    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.

    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.

    At the time I thought the ending painted Joel as the anti-hero but playing it again in 2020 and watching the first ten minutes of that game I changed my feelings. The game tells a very simple "Dad video game" plot though very ahead of its time but might accidentally be saying something profound about the failure of systemic leadership.

    Anyway, the beginning really set up the ending but I am not sure if it is intentional because the writing in this game is so bad. I think at the time before Uncharted 4 I appreciated that they were trying to fix the ludo narrative dissonance by making everyone a murder sociopath in a murder world. Compared to Uncharted it seemed clever but ultimately it is pretty shallow.

    The audio and visuals still hold up. The guns sound good and the narrow corridor level design does look really nice, even if you can see its Crash Bandicoot roots.

    I liked it enough then, I still like it now, but other than all the time and money spent on the audio and visuals and animations and VO, it really never really rises as something special, just expensive.

    The last of us is for me a good game, however it is pretty overrated, and putting it among the best games of all time is weird to me.
    Sure the game does characters well, and the story while not so innovative with its zombie concept is well written and executed.
    The gameplay is intense with tight controls and challenging levels. However game suffers from low gameplay variety options,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lançado originalmente em 2013, o jogo que conta a história de um homem (Joel) que necessita transportar e acompanhar uma garota (Ellie) que, em teoria carrega a cura, para um vírus que dizimou a humanidade.
    A história não é exatamente a mais inovadora, visto que tantos outros veículos de mídia exploraram esse contexto como o livro Eu sou a Lenda de 1954 e sua (péssima) versão cinematográfica em 2007, Filhos da Esperança de (que também contém duas versões), mas seu diferencial é o modo como é mostrado no game.
    A maestria e genialidade da narrativa é justamente o fator humanidade que permeia cada personagem: secundário ou protagonista, mesmo os que aparecem em poucos minutos do game (como a filha de Joel no início) foram construídos com uma profundidade que faz a empatia do jogador vir a tona.
    É normal que em alguns momentos o jogador se canse do gameplay pois não é esse seu forte, embora seja bom o suficiente para o que se propõe.
    Um dos grandes títulos do Playstation 3 que foi remasterizado para o Play4 com a adição do DLC que preenche algumas lacunas do jogo. Merece ser jogado por todos os donos do console, mesmo que seja apenas pela meia hora inicial, que já faz muitos marmanjos se acabarem de tristeza.

    A game where when it ended, I just sat alone in the dark with my thoughts for a long time. The voice acting, story telling, and gameplay was so good that I legitimately mourned the games ending and wished I could go back and play it for the first time once more.

    The game might be overhyped but it deserves all the praise it gets. I was hooked from the start. The gameplay in itself was phenomenal, there were no faults whatsoever. I was easily attached to the compelling characters and immediately felt immersed in the plot. I enjoyed playing this game so much, I can't wait for part 2 to come out.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What an excellent narrative between two Characters in an apocalyptic scenario.

    Story

    The Story about the trip of Joel and Ellie is stunning. Its simply amazing and dont really have weak spots in it. Its linear but very well written about the two and all things around them. Both characters will catch your heart and you will care for them, especially Ellie.

    It has an open End so Part 2 cant come soon enough, good that I finished the Game now and not earlier. Im very interested to see what is coming next for both.

    Graphics

    For an old Game like this it looks in the remaster version really good. Some moments are pure beauty. The People look mostly insanly realistic. And the postapocalypse is perfect portraied.

    Gameplay

    It has his flaws here. The stealth mechanics arent mine but I was fine with it. The AI is really bad and can get you out of the imersion. Sometimes Ellie will run trough enemies or runs wildly around the room.

    The AI of the opponents are mostly good, but there are Ways to cheese it or they just doesnt recognize that you kill their friend besides them. The Crafting or skilling is very shortened but doesnt matter that much, the most important things like Medkits are there.

    The Gunplay feels a bit sluggish but all in all it was good enough.

    Summary

    If u didnt play this game already like me DO IT. Its an insane good story. 9/10

    If it weren’t for the dumpster fire that was The Last Of Us 2, I’d give this game a 9 or 10 easily. Unfortunately, Neil Druckman had his head so far up his ass that not only did he botch that game so terribly, he also destroyed this one by extension. This game has unfortunately been destroyed by TLOU 2 so terribly that it’s not even worth playing if you haven’t already.

Except for the dancing crosshairs, the gameplay was very entertaining and addictive. I would find myself planning out how to do the next level as I was going through my day after a session.

    The graphics are also great, really pretty game.

    The music was not the best, in my view, but if I want good music I’ll buy an album. Specifically, I didn’t like their reliance on synthesizers that sounded like they came from the late 80’s. I didn’t think that mood paired well with the mellow electric guitar, which I really liked. But, again, if I want music, I don’t buy a video game—my opinion of the game’s music did not affect the score I’m giving the game.

    Now for the negatives (or, really, negative, because I really see only one). The story was dark, depressing, and without any redeeming value. I had hoped for some sort of lightness somewhere, anywhere, but I was disappointed. Playing this game after a hard day at work was like working a double shift, because I had to put my mind on so many sad things at the end of a long day. (For this reason, I finished the game and watched a movie of the DLC, simply because I didn’t want to put myself through any more of the same discomfort.)

    It was entertaining from a superficial standpoint, but any thought of what the story means or any deep analysis of the story’s characters can only lead to man’s depravity, I think. I prefer to focus on happier things. This game has taught me that this genre is not my genre, and though I bought this game with the expectation of also playing TLOU 2, I will not be buying the sequel.

    I just played this game for the first time 4days ago . I bought it at the same time that I bought Last of us part2 and thought to myself WOW what a fantastic game. Unlike LOUpart2 This remastered one is a really ,really good game. So rich in story and you fall in love with the characters. It is a masterpiece.

    This is absolutely one of my favorite games of all time. This has an amazing gameplay, wonderful graphics that still hold up today, a large variety of level designs and a story that is genuinely one of the best every created in the gaming genre.

It has interesting characters, a coherent plot, and some brutality mixed together with love. Having a focus on the relationship between Joel and Ellie makes up for the generic plot, and that is where the story is amazing. The gameplay is solid, with a 'hide-and-seek' style of combat that does get a little repetitive towards the end, but everything else about this game doesn't make you notice until the second or third playthrough. The music as well is wonderfully scored and just makes those scenes even more rememberable. The DLC as well is a gut-punch and offers more insight into the backstory of Ellie's character, since this game very much focused on Joel for the most part. Overall a fantastic game and playing it at 60 FPS makes it an excellent pickup for the PS4/PS5. Expand

    By no means a masterpiece or excellent. Just a good game, nothing more. Very overhyped.
    If you played lots and lots of great games you would realise this is nothing special at all. Lots of things can be improved, starting with the character movement and control, which is lackuster. The AI of the enemies is downright awful, and lots of programming errors. The melee combat is terrible,

The AI of the enemies is downright awful, and lots of programming errors. The melee combat is terrible, lacks basic things like parry and counter, which is non-existent. Once the enemy gets near enough to you, it grabs you and you can do absolutely nothing, which is very frustrating and very fake.
    Some weapons are under-powered (guns) that you need 4 shoots sometimes to kill enemies and some are overpowered (bow) which can kill enemies in one shoot. I mean, really?
    The story is also nowhere near as being as good as some claim. it lacks a lot of depth and has a lot of incongruences.
    A very good idea of a game that has some good parts, but overall could have been better executed.
    I'd take Uncharted 2 from ND over this any day of the week.

    The heart-rending story isn`t romanticizing nor does it drift into the pathos other, less subtle games so often lean towards. That's the line where good craftsmanship becomes art, and an excellent game.

    It is most beautiful game i've ever played! Highly recommend! But please when you finish it, don't play Part 2, you will be disappointed, sad and angry. This game beautifully finished, just believe me and don't even touch second 2020 game. One more time: if you like this game, don't play second part.

    thsi is a MUST PLAY for all gamers, it shows that in a world turned to **** there is still hope. A beautiful story about how a man who has nothing inside can change completly and find willing to keep moving forward. Music in this game for it itself already sells the game. LOVED IT!

    I'm here to pay my respects after the abomination that was The Last of Us Part II. I played this game back in 2016 and I was thoroughly enraptured. The story was gripping, the characters were well developed, the gameplay was tense and satisfying, the graphics were great, the music was somber. It was an absolute package.

Overall, the story was relatively simple, but it was executed masterfully which resulted in its message being incredibly impactful. It was a game about survival and parenthood. It's theme is that parents are willing to do anything to protect their children. Even sacrifice the world. Honestly, this game and its legacy is sullied by its sequel, but I'd still certainly recommend playing it today. Especially since you can buy it for a measly $20. Expand

    A good game with an interesting story and a good atmosphere. The problem, however, is that the gameplay is very repetitive. You are in the underground, you fight zombies, the door is locked, you have to find something to open it while avoiding zombies.Over and over again.

    I loved this game from the first moment. Its true the graphics are not very good, but the gameplay is amazing. I think there should be more ammo and weapons, but is a survival game. THE most important reason i love this game is because you feel along the game like the characters. This game has an amazing storyline and this is the reason you should buy it right now.

    This game blew my mind on ps3, then the remastered version for ps4 made me appreciate the experience so much more at 60 frames at polished gameplay. Its a game that changes the way you play videogames. At this time I must have done 5 playthroughs and Loved the experience each time more and more :)

    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]
