    It has been a while since I played this game, so not much details.
    The history’s development is well made, as well as the details of the game, no complaints. Maybe the characters could help you more often in encounters, sometimes they just watch. 8.8/10, for not being so unique, but having no problems and becoming so memorable.

    I get nervous until the end.
    The game has a good design of tension and levels in a way that is limited resources.
    Until the end of the story that gives a lingering impression, I am impressed.
    Unfortunately, there is a bad sequel to overturn this.

    The graphics, the music, the cinematography, all of it, makes it a well-develeoped game that can even compete with games with that kind of detail, much like Rockstar's GTA V, the Red Dead Redemption games or even the Uncharted saga. The fact that's multi-genre, pointing more to a thrilling adventure game, more than a horror survival game, makes it an even greater game. It's totally worth it every cent spent on it.
    If you want to be part of the new generation of games, one of the first games you need to play first, is this ONE, then everyone else.

    The Last of Us Remastered is an absolute masterpiece. This exploration of a post-apocalyptic world is one of the best storytelling experiences someone can have. This is a game with one of the highest levels of intimacy between the video game characters and the player. This father-daughter journey is something that everyone should play.

    9.9/10 (because the gameplay is sometimes dull)

    (Also today in 2021), and the gameplay of the game does not hold so much today but the gameplay in this case does not matter these story and wow what an amazing story shaky and heartbreaking story I will not do spoilers but not once and not twice I cried, the characters are amazingly written that touches you In the heart. In short, a must-play game for anyone who has a PlayStation 4 !!!

    The story, the climate, characters and their emotions, nice gameplay (considering it's a 2013 game). I cannot see any downsides in this genre (sure it's not open world it's not an RPG, it cannot be everything). Graphics pushing PS3 to the limits and looking good on PS4, even in 2021 on PS5 it still looks fine (no need for a remake). A game that shows that this medium is no longer for kids.

    In 2013, Naughty Dog, mainly known for their efforts on the hugely popular Uncharted series, released their first ever zombie game, everyone was immediately blown away. With an iconic pairing of Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson as the 2 main characters, the last of us was essentially the first game that really showed that video games can be a media for brilliant story telling. FirstIn 2013, Naughty Dog, mainly known for their efforts on the hugely popular Uncharted series, released their first ever zombie game, everyone was immediately blown away. With an iconic pairing of Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson as the 2 main characters, the last of us was essentially the first game that really showed that video games can be a media for brilliant story telling. First impressions from trailers showed a generic zombie shooter game like any other that was popular at the time, however once people explored the apocalyptic but also beautiful world centred around our anti-hero, Joel Miller and his young teenage side-kick, Ellie Williams. Their almost father, daughter dynamic allowed them to become extremely popular in modern video game culture, as well as being featured in Astro-Bot's playroom, a high honour no doubt. The Last of Us is a game about survival, and luckily this them is perfectly translated into its gameplay. Every fight on the harder difficulties feel like a genuine battle to live as resources are extremely scarce and enemies strategically locate and try to kill Joel. While some may find it tedious, nothing coveys a post apocalypse much like scavenging; thankfully you are immersed in the game world as you search every room hoping you will find that one bullet that will save your life in time of need. It is an understatement to say that Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson excel in their roles as the iconic duo and each do wonders in their roles. Overall, the last of us is an excellent game with good gameplay, heart-warming performances and quite possibly one of the simplest but best stories told in a video game Expand

    Правда мне потребовалось перетерпеть раскачку повествования после завязки сюжета. Сложность игры очень неровная, для первого прохождения берите режим с возможностью слышать противников. Игровые механики немного архаичные проходил в 2017 году.

Honestly, you even got more replayability after ending the main campaign and DLC by playing the multiplayer which feels really fun to play. Breathtaking level designs, and a great soundtrack that will make your experience more than enjoyable. The improvement in its graphic stands out amazing. A must-have in your PS4 library, Let see how well goes my experience with the sequel: The last of us Part II. On all fronts, The last of us is not an overrated boring game which plays like Uncharted, it is a breath of fresh air with a really well done plot.

    An amazing realistic zombie game! An semi-open world game to choose your path and style of gameplay. You can be trigger happy, stealth or just simple dodge the whole fight scenes. There are cases of where you are forced to do one of the styles, but that just adds the action and prevents you from an monotone gameplay.

    I just played this game again for the second time and it still has appeal. Naughty Dog really hit a homerun here. Just love the story and the fighting scenes with the clickers

    Factions Multiplayer: A+

    I've been playing the same game for 2 years now -- since the day it came out -- on two different consoles, and I still learn new things. Try to defy the game? Characters will present hidden dialogs. Go into new places? Cue protagonist gaffs. This is 100% a masterpiece, from the music, to the artwork, to the story, to the silly pun joke book in Left Behind that nearly goes on forever. The single-player campaign is filled with lore and additional stories that can be read and learned alongside environment art. Combined with trophies and collectables, the game has a very, very long lifecycle. In addition, two years after the game's release Naughty Dog still makes improvements and tweaks to the gameplay to balance and refine it. The DLC has helped make sure the multiplayer servers will stay up for a long time with streams of revenue.

    My only gripe is that there isn't more to play and Left Behind is a little too short -- beatable in one day. Hopefully there will be a Last of Us 2, though I'd rather the title stay a standalone masterpiece before turning into a giant cow of a franchise to be milked until dry.

    The Last of Us is, quite honestly, an 8/10. Most people go on and on about the story and how touching it was, how much they felt, and the story is actually the weakest part of the game.

Most people go on and on about the story and how touching it was, how much they felt, and the story is actually the weakest part of the game. TLoU tells the story of a cliche single father whose daughter predictably dies inside of ten minutes without the player really knowing either of them, and we're supposed to care because she was his daughter. He then finds a replacement daughter 20 years later and that's about it. Naughty Dog themselves even said the entire game was built around Joel and Ellie's father/daughter relationship. And that was a stupid decision.

    The game, at certain points, suggests two VASTLY MORE INTERESTING stories, Joel's life in the post apocalypse as a smuggler, and his adventures with his brother shortly after the outbreak. Instead we get a typical "Father tries to connect with his step daughter on a road trip" Hollywood story, told in a kind of dark setting. The few times we actually do something other than be cliche are far apart and don't last long. The ending is also very predictable and didn't surprise me in the slightest.

    Where the game really shines is in combat. Shooting things is good, the stealth is difficult but rewarding (and infuriating, but we'll get to that), overall it flows very well. The mixed gameplay is fun to mess around with, and I'm a total sucker for exploration that gives me upgrades, and crafting. There's enough variety for each player to make their own style in combat. Personally, I got addicted to throwing smoke bombs after kiting enemies into one area and then molotoving them and shotgunning the stragglers.

    There are faults in the system, however. There are enemies that kill you instantly that are very difficult to distinguish from a distance from ... literally any other enemy. You have to either stealth kill these guys, or spend quite a few bullets (in the early game) to take them out. This leads to incredibly frustrating areas where two or more are in close proximity, and since they use sound instead of sight, sneaking up on two in the same room is nigh impossible without serious shenanigans. The game also drops the "ammo is scarce! Use it wisely!" around the middle of the game unless you're playing on one of the much harder difficulties. Naughty Dog, again, have explicitly stated that TLoU uses some kind of ammo counter, and while you won't get every shot back after a fight, the enemies are programmed to drop enough for survival in the next area, which is generally more than enough. I cleared the game my first time through with more handgun rounds than I could use in a single fight. They also obnoxiously lock simple minded "skills" behind high walls. One of the most useful skills you can purchase allows you to save yourself if grabbed by a zombie by stabbing them. I don't know about you, but I don't need training on how to shove a sharp object into something that's trying to strangle me. It seems quite obvious really, and only serves to hide the more useful ability behind it on the upgrade tree.

    Despite those few flaws, the game is quite enjoyable. The story is fun enough the first time through, if predictable, and the voice acting really makes the characters pop. The graphics are good, though I wish we could have seen more of cities coated in mushrooms growing everywhere, give us the sense that the fungus was taking over. But most importantly, shooting guys is fun. Sneaking up on them is challenging but fun. Those are the most important things. The game is FUN to play. Too many people get hung up on the story and completely miss that the controls are smooth easy to understand, combat is challenging but rewarding, and the systems incorporated in the game make exploration worth doing. If there's one thing I hope for in The Last of Us 2 I hope they make the environments bigger and give us more things to craft and upgrade. But, maybe make the skill upgrades something that would need upgraded instead of simple self defense that a child could do.

    One of the best games I have ever played. The story, setting, characters and gameplay are all impeccable and there isn't anything I can fault. Even the game length is great, which is quite rare for such story-driven games.

    The enhancements offered by this remastered edition only improve the game, and the environments still look amazing even in 2018. Part 2 will have a lot to live up to!

    If you enjoy storytelling and shooters you'll enjoy this adventure. Good but not great graphics, exceptional storytelling and interesting characters. The gameplay is okay, the different segments feel like they are repeating: explore, collect, shoot and repeat. It's hardly the most perfect game ever, just a very good one.

The story, writing and voice acting are all leagues beyond any other game I've played. The two lead characters are charismatic and masterfully developed throughout the course of the game. The music and visuals brilliantly evoke a world with a heady atmosphere of quiet sadness and loneliness. As to the gameplay, many people consider it a weaker aspect, but I found the approach to combat to be original and far more challenging and engaging than other action games. The very limited supplies and powerful enemies mean that every confrontation is consequential, and thus genuinely nerve-racking. There are periods of planning, of nervous tension, and of wild improvisation. I can only think of two criticisms. The first is that these confrontations, along with scavenging, constitute 95% of the gameplay -- some variation in the fundamental style of play from time to time would have been welcome. Secondly, the AI sometimes leaves something to be desired. Allies can get in the way and fatally mess things up; enemies can act in stupid ways making them too easy, such as walking repeated paths or forgetting where you are and searching nonsensical places; and sometimes the enemies can have inconsistent and confusing behaviours, such as detecting where you are when all you did was make a loud distraction elsewhere. These issues are not frequently a large problem though; the gameplay is generally smooth and polished. All in all a very strong 9/10. One of the best games I have ever played. Expand

TLOU has an excellently fleshed out narrative with wonderful character development. There is no denying that. The game play is quite mediocre and I had to put it on hard setting the very first time I played it to avoid boredom. It's just very mechanical and not very inventive and lacks variety quite a bit. I think ND's A Thief's End did a much better job in this so I know they are capable of it. It's funny how people get swept up emotionally in the story to such an extent that they label the game "Greatest Game Ever! (sniffle)" . It's like, buck up buckaroo. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgement and try to be objective. Anywho, good game and worth playing but slightly overrated IMO.

    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.
