    The game has great visuals and voice acting, and the game's presentation is interesting. The story is Joel and Ellie and their many adventures as they cross the U.S., so the game touches on different parts of their journey. Plot lines are introduced and closed, and the stories are generally good, although some of them could've been explored more (and maybe in a more interesting fashion).The game has great visuals and voice acting, and the game's presentation is interesting.

    What really gets me about the game is how much it drags. You spend ~60% of your time just looking for loot, and Joel's default 'walk' is so slow that I had to scam the game by walking at a diagonal for the whole game so that he'd actually jog.

    The gameplay itself is nothing to write home about - it reminded me of Dead Space and made me wish, at times, that I was just playing Dead Space. By the end of the game, you become kind of a weapon powerhouse, which distracts a bit from the survival aspect of the game.

    Overall - it's rather overrated, but still a reasonable game, especially in consideration of its cast and production values.    … Expand

The point is that this not really one of those games that you feel you are creating your own experience. The experience is created for you by Naughty Dog and hot damn what an experience

    Pros:
    -Probably the closest thing to the atmosphere of the walking dead television show
    -Realistic characters and good story progression.
    -Action and stealth are good and the tension of sneaking around the zombie like creatures

    Cons:
    -While I like the idea of scavenging for items being necessary to live I sometimes found that it broke the flow of the game as you need to look at every nook and cranny before going to the next room.
    -The puzzles, if you wish to call them that, largely involve taking a ladder,pallet, or garbage can from one side of the room to the other.

    Conclusion? Duh duy son, play the game! It isn't perfect but it certainly is an experience worth having.    … Expand

Joel, a salty survivor, is hired to smuggle a fourteen-year-old girl, Ellie, out of a rough military quarantine, but what begins as a simple job quickly turns into a brutal journey across the country. Despite how familiar the story is, what makes this story worth playing through is how exceptionally well the story is told. The writing is superb, the performances are spot on, the dialogue is believable, and all the characters, especially Joel and Ellie, are interesting and worth following along on this adventure. Even though Joel is the main character, Ellie steals the spotlight from him due to how she was written as a girl forced to grow up in this type of environment. She feels like an actual person; everything from her talks with Joel and other characters, to her movement, and Ashley Johnson's incredible performance. This game is a prime example of how storytelling > story originality. You even get the "Left Behind" DLC about Ellie's past for extra value! 10/10

    Gameplay: TLOU might be made from the same guys that made Uncharted, but it's nothing like that. You're not gonna be mowing down dozens of enemies and jumping from roof-to-roof. This is a game all about survival. Your health can't regenerate, you need to scavenge items in order to craft various tools that can help you, stealth is important if you're hoping to avoid wasting resources, ammo is scarce, you need to craft upgrades for your weapons, and find supplements in order to upgrade yourself. There are also infected in this game which are different from your average zombie due to how their infection is based on a actual Cordyceps fungi. This adds a new refreshing take on the "zombie apocalypse" cliche since it explores the question of what would happen if this type of fungi can infect humans instead of just insects. The infected themselves, while only featuring 4 different types, are able to add a new level of intensity to this game-turning several sections of the game into something out of a survival-horror game due to creepy nature of these critters and how they act (the "clickers" are a definite highlight of this). People might complain that the A.I. is dumb for ignoring Ellie, but I heavily disagree with this since this saves the game from turning into a tedious escort-mission like Resident Evil 4 (even if this could break the immersion of the game at times). The A.I. themselves are strong otherwise, there are collectibles here, the shooting and cover is strong, the stealth is really good, and the game now runs at 60fps thanks to the PS4's hardware. The gameplay is overall near-perfection in my eyes. 10/10

    Graphics: Thanks to the PS4, we have an already amazing looking PS3 game turn into an outstanding looking PS4 game, and one of the few "next-gen" looking games out right now. The motion-capture is incredible, the environments look detailed and overrun with foliage due to civilization being gone for 2 decades, the infected look extremely believable and probably what Cordycep-infected humans might look like if such a fungi were to exist, and the environments, textures, and shadows all look even better. Thanks to the PS4, the game runs at 1080p resolution. Naughty Dog essentially took what was already great with the visuals and made them even better. 10/10

    Sound: The game has a perfect sense of timing-the game knows when to let it's great score play out, and when to let natural sounds take over the background. The guns also sound impactful, the melee sounds are brutal, and the infected sound extremely creepy (especially the clickers and bloaters). Naughty Dog also knocked it out-of-the-park when it comes to the sound design. 10/10

    Multiplayer: Unfortunately, this is where the game stumbles for me. In the multiplayer, titled "Factions", you either join the "Fireflies" or the "Hunters" (both are the same) and are tasked with surviving for 12 weeks and 7 days until help arrives for you. Here's the problem with the ranking system: 1 match=1 day. So you have to play 90 MATCHES in order to complete your story, skill isn't a factor. This is a grind-y MP mode and it shows. Other problems include: a metagame where you have to feed your survivors with food you gather during matches (forces you to do well in EVERY match you're in), gunplay can be a bit repetitive, buying armor feels out-of-place in a SURVIVAL MP mode, lack of customization, limited to only 3 modes, some maps are designed in an annoying 3-lane design, supply boxes can barely help you at times, micro-DLC, and matchmaking issues. If you have 3 other friends though, this can be fun as it requires more teamwork than even Battlefield. As for me, it just came off as decent. At least you get all the DLC packs though. 6/10

    Verdict: TLOU is to me, one of the best games ever made; and definitely worth a (2nd) purchase.

The aftermath of a virus, leave the world to senseless anarchy and corruption, and a group called the Fireflies fights it, there is no fair government. There are creepy clickers and runners lurking around the whole place which looks damn great on new hardware. Joel and Marlene are hired to protect Ellie, a girl with a special gift, she is immune to the virus. The amount of gritty tension during the stealth sequences of TLOU is harrowing and will leave you nights, sleepless. With great voice acting from Troy Baker as the rough Joel, may be his best yet. Naughty Dog is one developer that keeps surprising us each time, Uncharted already has acclaim, but if you play TLOU, you will be amazed. BTW, If you don't have it already, you are living under a rock, my friend. I replayed this epic three times and can't wait to do it again. The Left Behind DLC is included in this great package, and boy, for a DLC, it's brilliant. Left Behind tells Ellie's story behind the events of The Last Of Us. The Last Of Us is something Stanley Kubrick would have been proud of. It has incredible depth, great characters, jaw dropping visuals, and a hint of human that is not found in other games. Get a PS4 already, Xbox Fanboys!… Expand

The game feels a lot smoother, it helps for making fast moves and it helps the overall expeience of multiplayer.
    Photo Mode is a cool addition, though in terms of frames and filters it's a bit scarce. It's not like you will be using it a lot in your first playthrough, but I'm sure fans will have a good time trying to capture the game's beauty.
    In terms of content, TLOU Remastered packs everything except the additional weapons and hats, which is a frustration for anyone who bought any of them and now moved on to the PS4 version. Considering it contains the excellent "Left Behind" DLC, and some cool maps, TLOU Remastered (I think) completely justifies it's price tag.
    There's also the Grounded doccumentary and commentary form Neil Druckmann, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson for all the cinematics (though that doesn't include Left Behind, for some odd reason).
    All in all TLOU Remastered is the definitive version of The Last of Us, though I wouldn't recommend it to players who have already experience the PS3 version. But if you're a newcomer, there's absolutely no reason not to play this game.

    This game without a doubt deserves 5/5. I feel that anyone that gives it less didn't get what it was trying to do. This isn't a standard video game. It's primary purpose is to tell you a story. An interactive story, where you actually feel like you're there with the characters, experiencing everything with them as they experience it. It's something books and movies can't quite pull off, and is video game specific. Even among games, it's extremely rare that a truly successful and well-done interactive narrative can be pulled off so successfully. Everything really matters.

    The only downside I can think of is that there is a ton of swearing, and a pretty decent amount of violence, so this game isn't for the little ones below 10 years. Also, the AI does odd stuff occasionally. But virtually everything else is virtually flawless, breath-taking, heart-breaking, and intense. The writing, art & environments, acting, and music are all above top-notch. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, whether it be due to wondering what's lurking around the corner, or to hear what interesting tid-bit your in-game companions will say next.

    I suppose, in the end, the reason why I love it so is simply because it explores the range and depth of human emotion.

    This game is for anyone and everyone that appreciates a good story. If you've ever enjoyed a fictional book, movie, or video game, in your entire life, you owe yourself this experience. Do what you have to do, to become the last of us. You won't regret it.

    P.S. You should really read the very short prequel comics first (before playing the game), written by the head writer of the game. They're official storyline, and really do add a lot of little neat things and details to the game that you wouldn't appreciate or would miss otherwise.    … Expand

    It's pretty much the same game, except for two noticeable additions.

The best parts of the game are when there are no encounters with anything, in this moments it shines. But beware if you get fast bored of repetitive gameplay (meaning scenarios that play out - at their core - exactly the same and there is no denying that a change of scenery doesn't change that drastically) then you have to decide for yourself if the rest of the game is worth the effort. For me it still is, but I can't play this game more than an hour every session (still want to finish it).… Expand

    I had been interested in checking out this game since it first came out, but I only got my first Playstation ever a few weeks ago, so I had no way to do so until recently, and, well, I'm a little disappointed.

    Don't get me wrong, the things people praise about this game are every bit as good as I'd heard, this game has excellent writing and voice acting, Ellie and Joel's relationship is edifying to watch unfold and to discuss, but there's just something that's "missing" in the link between storytelling and gameplay mechanics that's difficult for me to get over.

    When I say there's something "missing," what I mean to say, is there's no connection between storytelling and gameplay at all. This game is like a Skinner box, but with a bunch of extra steps. You go through an area with some very light, often times tedious puzzle solving that usually boils down to "find the thing and move the thing that lets you jump over the other thing," or "find the thing that lets you open the thing," interspersed with a ton of moments comprised of "kill every dude in the area who isn't you," before you're rewarded with another cutscene, and I can't count how many times I found myself disappointed the minute a cutscene ended and the gameplay began, because it meant another solid 30-60 minutes of trudging through not particularly great gameplay to get rewarded with another cutscene.

    That brings me to my second major issue with this game: the gameplay, on its own, really just isn't that good. As I mentioned earlier, it is almost entirely broken up into two kinds of sequences, 1) wandering around a small area to find the thing that let's you get past the obstacle, or 2) killing every dude on the map who isn't you, and that's it. It's interspersed with some exciting moments, like a moment where you're trying to push start a truck while finding off clickers, or a moment where you're defending Ellie from Clickers while she tries to free you from a trap that has you suspended upside-down, but these moments are few and far between gameplay that is, overall, bog standard, and does absolutely nothing to enhance the narrative through its mechanics, you simply just do a few objectives using mechanics that have little to with the narrative, so you can be rewarded with some new cutscenes, and that's about it. And all of that doesn't even get into the dozens of odd moments where the gameplay and story are completely at odds with each other in quite baffling ways. For example, there's a scene where a dude is on top of you trying to drown you, and then Ellie shoots him to save you, then later in the game, there's a moment where Joel is rationalizing her action to save you, telling her not to worry about the fact that she just killed a man, since it was either "him or me [Joel]," but it makes absolutely no sense that Joel would need to cauterize that one particular action in that one particular moment, considering the fact that Ellie has already helped you kill well over twenty people in the gameplay, which just reinforces the fact that the gameplay and story departments working on this game had little to no crossover with each other. The narrative tells you one story, about Ellie losing her innocence to a harsh, unforgiving world, but in the gameplay, there's no resistance or struggle or pushback at all to Joel killing scores and scores of nameless, faceless, storyless dudes all for the sake of advancing to the next cutscene.

    All and all, The Last of Us is a real shame, because the acting and writing are truly very good, but the narrative just gets put on hold during gameplay sequences that have barely have anything to do with the narrative, and do nothing at all to enhance the narrative, and I find it disappointing that what has been almost universally lauded as one of the greatest video games ever made has a story that does nothing to take advantage of the fact that it is an interactive medium and capable of telling you a story through mechanical interactions.

    I'm not going to call this game "overrated" because I do truly understand why this game emotionally resonated with so many people, but I'm still disappointed all the same and I really wish I had loved this game more than I did.    … Expand

    For the umpteenth time Naughty Dog has surprised everyone by completely changing genre. Visually speaking The Last of Us is overflowing, so full of detail will leave you breathless in more than one occasion. The Last of Us is very sad and moving, a constant punch in the stomach when you least aspects.

    I don't get all the praise of this game. I came here expecting something as great as GTA V but what I got was only great. GAMEPLAY: This is where The Last of Us falls flat.

GAMEPLAY: This is where The Last of Us falls flat. The game has semi linear levels but gives you room to explore and you might find supplies and craft Molotovs, Medkits, and the like. However there are only 6 components. You can only carry a set amount of components however you can't have for example 3 rags but 1 sugar but can carry 2 rags but 2 sugar. So there's no dynamic inventory system. The gameplay starts to become a drag near the end.
    STORY: This game shines as with it's story. While it's predictable the characters are likable but Joel AKA you makes a scripted selfish choice that makes him come off as a giant **** a choice that could make the human race be completely wiped out and breaking a friend's dying wish. Ellie is extremely likable and actually makes me wish she deserved better someone then Joel. I don't want be a perfect character, however I don't want to be a selfish douche who makes a selfish choice that could endanger all of humanity. OVERALL: This game should be a movie, not a game. While The Walking Dead from TT gets a pass because of choice value this game gives you no choices on the story side of things. Graphics are some of the best I seen though.    … Expand

    I have played the game several times and the replay value is really high because there are so many items to find.

    Grandiose story made the game with a lot of love.

    Besides, the world is simply breathtaking and the graphics are really great.

    One of my absolute favorite games and definitely worth a buy recommendation.

    I would even want to award 11 points if it would work!

    Dog for giving us another great game- I look forward to much to come.

    Gameplay: fun and rewarding combat system and puzzles that do not feel repetitive or frustrating. I recommend playing on hard difficulty to ensure you can’t exploit the AIs too much and to feel the danger they are facing.

    Art: incredible especially near the end of the story. Elie looks gorgeous.

    Voice acting: I couldn’t think of anyone better suited for the job. I wouldn’t have it any other way

    Enjoyment: 8.5/10 Most of the times I just wanted to get the story rolling but not one time did I not have a good time during the combat or puzzle solving areas. Some areas were challenging on hard mode but rewarding when I finished. A little bleak at times but I blame that on my low patience. I recommend beating this game in large sittings.    … Expand

I'll still be giving TLOU2 a go which I might actually enjoy more knowing Joel doesn't play such a significant part.… Expand

    Great production values including graphics, sound design, story and characters. However, the game itself just feels boring. Every time it almost feels as if I was trying to grind my way to the next cutscene, and that's not a great feeling to have in a game, especially in a survival horror one. Maybe it's critically acclaimed, sure, but the game for me just didn't do nearly as much.

I mean you have enemies coming from the back and you turn as slow as the hour moves on the clock. If it wasn't for this I'd easily give this game a 10. Story and the game are beautiful nontheless. Online and the sensitivity on the other hand? Not good at all. That's one problem with consoles though. As much as I love it, if the settings only allow a certain thing, that's all you get. If anything they should allow custom settings to your hearts content on TLOU2 or atleast way higher sensitivity than what feels like a 4 out of 10 on other games.… Expand

    Its immersive story, incredible characters and heart wrenching writing made for one of, if not THE best PS3 game of all time... And now, it's undoubtably the PlayStation 4's best title, and will probably remain that for a long while.

    I never played the original for PS3, so I am not sure on the comparison for the graphics but this is a great looking game. There are a few small complaints as to why doesn't the bushes or grass even budge when interacting with them, but it doesn't take away from the great overall scenery.

    The character development is fantastic, showing both Joel And Ellie feeling a great range of emotions both about the situation and their pasts. Naughty Dog sets up a great world for this to set up, with not as much as I would of liked for exploration as most areas are pretty liner but I guess that why games like Day Z exist. Both the interactions with the infected and humans feel intense. There was a section of the game where I wont go too much into detail not to spoil it, but I had sneaked around all the infected to come to a door that was blocked. You had to move the object which made a lot of noise attracting the whole room and got my heart racing. I had no idea if I was going to make it out of the room or not. This game is filled with these moments, and also filled with moments where you and Ellie are out in a field and talk about something. The game does a great job in building both characters up.

    Also this game comes with the Left Behind DLC, which is a great addition as both a prequel and some information that happens during the main game.

    The only other complaint I had was with some of the AI. There was stealth sections where you would barley move just to sneak up on your attacker, not making a single noise just for them to quickly spin around and start shooting like they had heard you or seen you. This doesn't happen often, but it always resulted in a death for me as I was playing on a harder difficulty.

    Other then that, this is a masterpiece of a game. Anyone who loves story and character driven games and obviously owns a PS3 or PS4, this is a must buy.    … Expand

Bloody, brutal, and stealthy combat makes this the best combat in a game for a while, you even get to play as Ellie for some of the storyline which I had a lot of fun with that. Joel is not your typical 40 year old he is a total destroyer and you will have fun playing as him.

If I were to give out a perfect score for 2014, it would go to The Last of Us Remastered. They certainly earned their glowing reviews.

    Pros

    - Stunning graphics. Literally breathtaking. I found myself staring at the horizon and trying to drink up every detail right from the start. Beautiful.

    - The storyline. The writing & dialogue is nothing short of genius and will quickly wrangle your interest. I felt thoroughly invested in the characters and the plot-line.

    - Mini-convos with Ellie/whomever is following you at the time feel real and immersive.

    - Even when fighting/sneaking Ellie will comment (whisper if you're sneaking) on the enemies or area or whatnot (it's specific too depending on who/what is after you.) It's difficult to explain why this is such a positive other than the fact it gives the game a realistic feel. Small details like this made a good game great.

    Cons

    - Listening mode no longer exists (which is fine it was rather OP & broke immersion a bit as I felt like it was a sci-fi ability) yet the tutorial still includes it. Also, increasingly listening mode's range is still an available upgrade for Joel despite the fact it has been removed. You have a limited number of pills (upgrade currency) & upgrades cannot be undone. However, Naughty Dog is usually excellent at patching things like this and I'd be surprised if this wasn't fixed soon. Still, beware.

    - The highest difficulty settings can be a bit frustrating. Not necessarily due to legit difficulty, but random things like being one shot less than a second after a cutscene can be frustrating. That said, only crazy masochists like my fiance play on those settings. :) For most, this won't be an issue.

    All in all, this is a game I would recommend for just about anyone looking to christen their PS4 or as a Christmas gift as all aspects of this game had excellent development. Combat. Story. Graphics. Three dimensional characters with unique personalities. The Last of Us has it all.    … Expand

The opening section of the game is a tense and brilliantly realised outbreak of the “virus”, after this outstanding introduction you are plunged into generic, broken cities – climbing up fire escapes, sneaking in dark abandoned buildings and shooting / shivving “the infected”, who stagger about like a drunk uncle at a party. The environments are populated with textures and graphics that have seemingly been recycled from Naughty Dog’s other work (Uncharted, notably – the same red bricks, the same broken cars, same furniture). It does look impressive though, the lighting and shadows are particularly stunning in parts.
    Wandering around, crouched to reduce noise and detection, before sneaking up on an enemy is well trodden ground by now, as a result the gameplay style is instantly familiar and generic, its hard to find much to be impressed by early on in the game. I found myself plodding through the campaign for a few hours, not entirely certain whether I was enjoying the experience or not, but regardless eager to see where the whole thing was headed.

    Mercifully, the game changes pace when you encounter the Human enemies, which will stop at nothing to hunt you down rather than saunter around like the infected. This makes a more menacing and challenging experience, akin to the manhunt franchise.

    Whilst playing the game I couldn’t help think what the game developers could have done with certain sections. At times it feels like the environments were under used. It wasn’t until about 8 hours in it dawned on me that maybe the omission of more “jumpy”, edge of your seat scares, were perhaps deliberate. It isn’t a typical survival horror game, it is a bleak, miserable and hopeless journey of two people, the enemies are merely incidental antagonists all trying to survive.
    I was only harking back to typical conventions of horror video games because that is what I expected to see, because that is all I have seen in the past.
    As a result, the tearing up of the rulebook means that it reveals itself after about 5 hours as a refreshing experience. Sure, there are some clichéd and terribly contrived sections of games of yore, particularly pushing boxes to climb up onto roofs and walking through dimly lit sewers – but it never cheapens the experience with overly obvious encounters with a slew of bad guys, or unnecessary fetch and find puzzles. It certainly makes up for the lackluster, first few hours of the game.

    Arguably, the most significant and important aspect of the game is the storyline and characters. Last of us certainly stands out from the crowd here. Traditionally video games have terrible writing and poor characterization. Not here, the writing is so accomplished you actually care about the characters backstories and plight. It’s like watching a TV show where you want to know what happens next. I really hope other developers take note of this accomplishment and up their game (no pun intended). The games storyline gradually develops using great pacing, the final quarter of the game is particularly malevolent and completely gripping. It can be an emotional, sometimes harrowing experience; no video game from recent memory has left me with my mouth open in amazement, or given me a level of emotional response like The Last of Us has.    … Expand

    My favourite game of all time is back with better graphics. I think that it is the best game of all time because, the story is so indulging and you really connect with the characters in a very emotional way. The game makes you become attached to Joel and Eli's journey through North America and you never want it to end.

    A masterpiece would be a good word to describe this game. Great story, characters, visuals, music... everything has been crafted with precision and high attention to detail. Probably the best game currently available on PS4. Some similarities to Resident Evil IV, in a good way.

    I played this game with extremely high expectations. It took me a few hours to get into it but after 2 or 3 hours i knew the hype was justified.
    No game features nearly as great a story with such amazing characters as The Last of Us.
    This game is a must have. Buy it, play it, love it.

    Beautiful, brutal, shocking, and heartbreaking. These a just a few words I could use to describe what I regard as possible the best game I have played in more than 25 years of gaming. The Last of Us ticks all the boxes for a classic:

    [*] Graphics - All the characters are fully motion captured and move with a degree of fluidity and realism that I have rarely seen matched in other games.    Beautiful, brutal, shocking, and heartbreaking. These a just a few words I could use to describe what I regard as possible the best game I have played in more than 25 years of gaming. The Last of Us ticks all the boxes for a classic:

    [*] Graphics - All the characters are fully motion captured and move with a degree of fluidity and realism that I have rarely seen matched in other games. Aside from a few long distance textures, the backgrounds are exquisitely detailed, pulling you into the post-collapse world that the characters find themselves trying to navigate through.

    [*] Story - TLoU has one of the best written stories of a game I played, crafting characters who feel incredibly real and placing them within a decaying world setting that is both awful and plausible. While the core plot of the game has undoubtedly been done before, it has rarely, if even been executed with the nuance, pacing, style, and care as it has been here. If you care about story and character development in your games, TLoU hits it out of the park.

    [*] Music - The hauntingly beautiful soundtrack to the game, written by Oscar winning composer Gustavo Santolalla, perfect fits with the melancholy tone of the game as the characters struggle through the a world in which the remnants of human civilisation are slowly being reclaimed by the natural world. It is easily up there with the best videogame soundtracks ever written.

    [*] Voice Acting - Brilliant across the board, the voice cast of TLoU convey the grief, fear, despair, and hatred of the characters they inhabit, elevating their characters to a level of believability rarely achieved in the medium. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, as the voices of the two main characters, Joel and Ellie, carry the game of the strength of their exceptional performances and are, to my mind at least, the benchmark against which all other videogame voice acting will be measured.

    [*] Gameplay - If The Last of Us can be said to have any weakness, its that its gameplay is not as exceptional as every other facet of the game. The combat borrows heavily from Naughty Dog's other franchise "Uncharted", using third person melee and shooting combat, combined with a fairly simple stealth and crafting systems. While the combat is enjoyable, it remains fairly basic and does not have anything like the depth of the stealth action of something like Metal gear Solid. That said, it works well enough and keeps you sufficiently engaged to push the story along. The crafting mechanics are again, basic, but all the things you can make are useful and encourage you to think about what you will build and how you will use the finite resources you have at your disposal. But for all its limitations, the gameplay is never bad and doesn't detract from the overall experience, its simply not as outstanding as the rest of the package.

    Its rare that you can look at a game and say, "This is a work of art", but the The Last of Us is without a doubt one of those rare, exceptional games that transcends the limitations of its medium and achieves that lofty status. If you are a gamer who cares about storytelling in your games, TLoU is an unmissable experience in cinematic videogame storytelling and shows just what medium can do in the hands of truly skilled creators given the room by publishers to pursue their vision to its fullest potential.    … Expand

    When exploring there is a chance for short conversations between characters to take place which are interesting and at times humerous. Stealth, combat and crafting unfortunately don't offer depth.
    What follows from that is -I hate to say it- generic and shallow gameplay with no big variation betweeen segments. As good as the presentation, characters and their relationships are, we are talking about a video game that is lacking in the game aspect. On top of that it's hit or miss with the story itself.

You could see character development but I do think that at times the character interaction was very limited and it was a bit frustrating that a lot of the times they interacted were during cut scenes. The voice overs were however, excellent and the game/characters draws you in, and the music is perfectly matched to the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the first game I played when I bought a PS4, I must say I was very impressed. The graphics are compelling, the environment is immersive, walking through a deserted suburb neighborhood, looking at all the abandoned houses, piles of burnt bodies, and flooded cities, and how Joel and Tess are so numb from the apocalypse that killing someone is just an everyday thing, makes you think what people are capable of when the situation is so grave. The story is unlike anything I've experienced in a video game, the ending really leaves you in the dark in some ways, and that's okay. It almost leaves you to decide what goes through Ellie's mind when she said that final "okay" and then the game cuts to black. It has one of the most intense multiplayer experiences I've played, the 4v4 matches, while it may sound very boring, Naughty Dog really did a great job with it. It feels like real combat, you're always behind cover, planning your course of action, hoping an enemy isn't around the corner when you have no ammo while they're fully loaded ready to go. Every time I die, it feels like I really die, and that I didn't help out my team enough, and I've never felt this playing a game. It really requires you to communicate with your teammates, plan out tactics, call out enemies, or just go lone wolf and hope for the best. The maps for the most part, are well designed, it could use more game modes, leveling up can be quite difficult at times, but overall, its really an above average experience in my opinion. This is a must-have for PS4 owners, It's just a great game.… Expand

When out of this remaining 5 yet another 2 or 3 dies the last survivors should change their behaviour once again. Some of them could be furious (charge at Joel like there was no tomorrow trying to avenge their comrades), some of them could be in panic (shooting at dark corners, trying to escape) etc. Thugs behaviour does not change at all.

    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.
