    Good story,awful gameplay

    It's not stealth-action it's interactive movie.If you want some real action and have fun choose easy mod this will really dilute the boring gameplay and you will be able to get up from your knees without crawling through the floor all game and i must say in middle and end of you walkthrough you have some intresting missions something like Uncharted it's not bad

    The game itself is good, but there are too many bugs for a game of this magnitude.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10)Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    To me this game is a 10 solely on the story. You're invested in the main characters do to their building relationship through out with a game ending that will make you question you're own morals. What would you do for the ones you love or yourself, depending on how you look at it?

    I loved Last of Us 1, but Last of Us 2 was very interesting to play and not in a positive way. I was seriously enjoying the story about Joel's death and Ellie trying to avenge his death, and Ellie's romance on the side. It could have been one of the best games ever.

    Unfortunately, towards the end, I was forced to play as Abby. I really liked Joel as a character, and when Abby killed him, I, of course, developed a serious dislike for Abby. Furthermore, Abby is just a pissed-off, unlikable character in general. Thus, I really didn't want to play as Abby and found myself just letting zombies kill me because I wanted to return to playing as Ellie, and it was more enjoyable to watch her die than to try to help her survive.
    I tried to play it out as Abby, hoping it would return to Ellie at any moment, but hours went by, and it still made me play as Abby until eventually I just said, "Screw it. I'm not enjoying this game at all, and I stopped playing altogether. I've played almost every rpg there is, and there is only one other game I have stopped playing halfway through. Thus, Last of Us 2 is one of the only games I rate as a 0 out of 10 since it was so unenjoyable that I didn't even finish it. The lesson here is NEVER FORCE THE PLAYER TO PLAY AS AN UNLIKABLE ANTAGONSIST, PLEASE.
    After, being so disappointed with Part 2, I don't recommend either of these games.

    I'm a PC gamer. I haven't owned a console in about 5 years. I decided to buy a PS4 bundle with this game when it was on sale because my girlfriend really wanted LittleBigPlanet3. She hasn't gotten to play once in the last 10 days.

    I heard from a lot of people how excellent this game was, and it wasn't like I didn't believe them that it would be a good game, but I didn't anticipate it being just as good as it is. I found myself announcing aloud to one one in particular "Damn...This is incredible." about every 2 hours.

    The gameplay is fun; if I had to put a number on it I'd say maybe a 8/10. It's nothing that hasn't been done before to some extent. I feel like its a mixture between the Batman: Arkham and Resident Evil franchises, both excellent games in their own right so I don't make the comparison negatively. The real strength of this game is the character development, story line and world design. All of which are masterful. I've been playing video games for a long time now, and I think the last time I felt so emotionally invested in my characters and their stories was back in 1997 when Final Fantasy 7 dropped. It's been 17 years since I've played something that made me actually feel a real, humanistic connection to the characters.

    I could go on for another 1500 words about why its so great but honestly, if you haven't played this game and you enjoy video games, or even if you don't enjoy them, you need to play this. To me, it almost redefines what a video game can be, and what we can now come to expect or even demand of this medium of art. Simply outstanding. The best game I've EVER played? Maybe not. But it's top 5-10 easily, and was worth the PS4 price of admission alone just to experience it.

    I don't think my girlfriend will be playing her copy of LittleBigPlanet3 any time in the next month or so...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is basically how this game was made. Bunch of people went into the boardroom and decided they will make a walking/murder simulator and then attach a story about the beauty and frailty of human life to it. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get into that when I've just murdered about 500 faceless guys, who apparently are just trying to get by like everyone else. Oh the girl is the innocent one, I get it. Nope, you murder about 50 people with her too at some point. I like the gameplay, it's smooth and the AI is decent, but it gets old after doing the same old crap for the entire game. All you do slowly walk to an area, watch a cutscene, murder about 15 guys either via sneak kills or just flat out beating their skulls in, and then repeat.

    Yeah, graphics are good and the base gameplay is solid, but I'm sorry the story is so overrated and the game gets real boring fast. Not to mention the plank sections that are just annoying, preventing you from continuing the walking simulator portion of the game. Which just takes you to the next area to murder about 50 dudes. It deserves a decent score because of the production values and polished gameplay, which eventually just gets old. Oh and a bonus for an awesome online mode. The online mode is actually the true gem of this product. Sorry, but overall, way overrated. Online makes it a 7 instead of a 6.

    -the multiplayer seems to have more bugs and issues than the original PS3 version
    -not only are you paying $60s again, but if you want the new special guns you have to pay for them with more money - if you don't pay for them, then someone will have a leg up on you in multiplayer

    As someone who spent $80 dollars on the original + the season pass, this feels like a 'cash grab.'

But what makes this game deserve a 7/10? Well for starters, the item base is very limited. Yes I understand it is a survival game, but more options would be nice. Also there aren't many enemy types.

    Probably one of the most over rated games of all time. It's got good voice acting, but the storlyline was fairly mediocre. Visually it's nice, but the controls are clunky sometimes.

    Honestly kind of a disappointment.

    The voice acting is fantastic, graphically the game looks okay. But the gameplay is just to painfully repetetive. Swim around looking for a pallet, get Ellie to step on the pallet, bring Ellie across some water. This continues all the way to the end. And honestly, I didn't care about any of the characters in the end. The AI got dumbed down since the E3

But with the PS4 the AI could have been even smarter than the one in E3. But this "Remaster" offers nothing but slighty improved graphics and 60fps. I really hope this isn't Naughty Dog's next series.

    Dialog writing is good, but the story is very cringe and the ending so predictable I actually accidentaly spoiled my wife by guessing what it would be.

Sometimes they don't seem to move or run smoothly. The graphics in some areas are amazing and in others just so-so. The download content Left Behind has better overall graphics and overall smooth. The game play is what set this game apart with the melee killing of the zombies so good that you want to keep punching. The gores and blood is stunningly details. This game deserved a 9.5 just because I feel that some areas, the character move awkward and the graphics were not up to par. I am sure the sequel will be 2x better. Can't wait. Expand

    Great game! It does give you a sense that the main characters are in survival mode-infected, hunters looking for survivors, limited ammo and resources for crafting, and most especially a suspenseful storyline. The detailed environment adds to it with images that leave you feeling a tiny sense of frustration/shock/horror. Haven't beaten it yet but as you can see or read, it's impressed me.

    Just something was missing for me in this game. Solid voice acting doesn't equal good video game. World felt boring. Loot/Craft systems that were obvious copy+paste from Dead Island didn't help either. One hit kill enemies were very annoying and in the end i simply didn't care at all what happens. Very overrated and mediocre.

    Having not played The Last of Us on PS3, I had uber high expectations about this game, now that it was on PS4. The game has not disappointed me. The story is great, the graphics are pretty good, the multiplayer is very fun and quite original, and the DLCs are good as well. It was a worthy purchase and this game is fantastic and should be played by anyone with a PS4.

    Played this game at a friends after having owned the PS3 version. While the graphics are updated over the PS3 version, it's still the same "interactive movie". I found the game to be boring on the PS3 and don't see where this is any better. If all you care about is graphics, then you're good. However, if you want a game that's fun to play, this wasn't it for me.

    Honestly, it was quite better than the PS3 version, but despite the Super graphics, i was expecting a new single-player content than the other ones inside disc. The graphics was looking more awesome, the combat effect was more brutal (which i love it), and the story was a challenging journey, between Ellie, Joel, & Riley. Sony games, is now more Hardcore then before.

    This was very good, in fact I did not know how bad the current PS4 offering is until I played this. The fact that this is worth playing in the post-zombie craze era shows how good it is. I subtracted 1 point because this is a remaster that has been sold at the price of a new AAA game. Sadly that is all that you get on the PS4 now: remasters and sequels.

    There are often times when I can't, for the life of me, understand why everyone in the western part of our world drools over a particular game.

I believe there's no better example for this as The Last of Us, a title that got tens all around and was praised for its supposedly incredible storyline. Even though I had experienced several sections of the game on a friend's PS3, the PS4 was my first chance to try it for real, and I walked away sorely unimpressed.

    First of all, I fully admit to getting kind of worried whenever a title gets praised more for its story than its actual gameplay. It's the latter that will always matter the most in a game for me, and in this regard The Last of Us is passable at best, extremely forgettable at worst. It consists of a series of linear, quick-time-event-heavy, cover-based shooting stages that get repetitive really fast, with only mild incentives for any kind of exploration.

    Even though the game does feature a lot of actual cutscenes, its gameplay sections are made in such a way that main character Joel is always talking and interacting with other people somehow. I admit I can see how some people would enjoy this playable-movie vibe, but it's definitely not my thing. Often I would just get annoyed when a cutscene would end, just because I knew it meant I'd have to start actually playing. This made me start holding the opinion that The Last of Us would be better suited as, you know, an actual movie rather than a game.

    Speaking of which: yeah, there's a cool story here, with some well-written emotional gut-punches. But unlike what I've read around the web, it's absolutely nowhere near the level of the true storytelling masterpieces of our time, from A Song of Ice and Fire to Breaking Bad to The Sopranos (and yes, I've seen comparisons to all of those). Maybe that's because the script just feels like a known quantity in the time we live in: it has a post-apocalyptic setting (check), a hardened man getting to terms with his own emotions (check), zombie-thingies (check), dialogue sections filled with wise cracks that aren't all that fresh (check). It was just too 'been there, done that' for me, even with the emotional turns, and as a result I never really felt the father-daughter relationship between the main characters as apparently most people have.

    It may be one of those cases in which a game is just not for me, especially because I fully admit I've never been that interested in post-apocalyptic settings and its tropes. Still, just trying to analyse The Last of Us from a detached standpoint, I fail to see why it's had such an extremely enthusiastic reception. I wouldn't say it's a flat-out bad game, but there are numerous realistic-style titles with more fluid and satisfying gameplay, there are numerous non-games with better stories, and it is my honest opinion that this is not one of those cases in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

    I think this is the kind of game that everyone should at least try, if only just to see what the fuss is all about. If your gaming tastes are anywhere close to mine, however, you'll probably get entertained for a while, then start seriously considering just searching for a cutscene compilation on Youtube instead.

The puzzles are also fairly repetitive, almost always requiring you to find a floating object or a ladder. Overall, the gameplay is very good and well polished, but nothing special.

    The real lure of this game is the story and the characters. I grew very attached to Joel and Ellie, as should anyone who plays this. The ending was a little weak, but interesting regardless. At least it makes me want to play the sequel.

    I would recommend any gamer who has access to a PS3 or 4 to play this. Just keep your expectations in check. The game was over-hyped in my opinion, although easily one of the best of last generation.

I appreciate it but barely any other content is added besides that Infamous SS camera. Some glitches and bugs still exist in the remastered version, and the AI don't really have much improvement. I was sort of disappointed. Nevertheless, The Last of Us is still one of the best game I have ever played and I enjoy playing it again, but if you own the original PS3 game already, it is rather pointless to buy it again for PS4, but if you have never played it before, you should get this, cuz it is awesome.

    This is a near perfect game. Still as awesome as it was on PS3 but with much improved graphics and 60fps. It has all the things that were right with the original and the DLC. Granted, Left Behind is O.K. At $50 it is still a value. My only real complaint is that one of the PS4's best games is a remake of one from last generation.

    An excellent upgrade to an already excellent game. Even if you've played it on PS3 the game is a substantial improvement on the PS4. The inclusion of the Left Behind DLC along with the multi-player maps makes for an overall improvement, and if you've never played the game before what are you waiting for? Go get it now!

    While it is certainly upsetting when companies re-sell games for easy cash, TLOU sure is a classic that deserves to be played and replayed, and the graphics sure are gorgeous.

    Though it seems fairly inconsequential to offer up another option about a game which has had so much written about it in the last year, my perspective is perhaps a bit different than the status quo and thus will offer it. Many reviewers have called this game a masterpiece, of which the 'remastering' simply further elevates its masterpieceness.

    There are 2 areas which I agree The Last of Us is truly extraordinary: characterization and graphical flexibility. Note I didn't say story and graphics, because these paint a large swath over many attributes in which The Last of Us is merely good or perhaps even average.

    There may never have been characters like Joel and Ellie in a video game. If there have been I don't believe I've played it. The facial expressions, motivations, voice acting, and dialogue between them is that of a good movie or TV show. Not a great movie or TV show, but a good one, and that is enough to set it in a league of its own in the video game realm. They are the anchors of the game and without them this game is lost. Everything is built upon their relationship to each other and to the world, and it is executed beautifully.

    Perhaps you were wondering about that second extraordinary characteristic, "graphical flexibility" (I'll admit I perhaps just made that up). What I mean by that are moments of truly great presentation that by all accounts would have appeared to be a pre-rendered scene if it weren't for the fact that you just caused it to happen. For instance, say you're in the midst of a zombie horde and out of bullets and decide it's time to give them a good thrashing with your trusty baseball bat. You start to hit them and the camera reacts and Joel's movements look so natural it truly does look right out of a movie. Or if a "clicker" gets the better of you and bears into your neck another cut-scene arises that purely originated from your actions. I marveled at these over and over at these thinking something would be messed up, something would be out of place or someone's motions would appear out of place. That never happened. Every time it felt completely real. They've tapped something here that if it could be expanded upon and continued will add a tremendous amount to absorption in a game.

    Now for the rest of it. Well the rest of it is good, if not forgettable. The graphics are solid for sure, good lighting and textures, nothing that hasn't been done before but certainly they are pretty. The story aside from the characters isn't terribly original. There's some interesting twists, but overall there's not much here to separate from the other thousand zombie stories floating around. The gameplay is a bit dull. If you've played any of the Uncharted series you'll likely know their shooting mechanics aren't exactly top shelf, and the solitary puzzle element of finding a ladder or something to jump on isn't terribly riveting. The best moments of combat come from when you run out of bullets and are down on your luck, and have to sneak white knuckled around tons of people who want to kill you.

    Speaking of that, I'll go off on a bit of a tangent and say I'm disappointed (and truthfully not for the first time) that a game that really tries to be realistic and suck you in has tons of people just walking around doing nothing but apparently looking for you without any good reason. The zombies make sense I guess, I wouldn't think they would have daily objectives, but truth be told most of your enemies in this game are comprised of humans who just patrol around dumbly with apparently no purpose in life but to kill people who happen to wander around them. They might as well be zombies themselves. I would have loved to catch some people actually doing something, some tense interactions where you had a bit of a stand off or something. Or at least give me a better reason for them wanting to kill me with such zealotry.

    Anyway, the gameplay isn't very exciting. In fact, I found it so dull I simply stopped playing the game for a long period of time. Eventually I came back and was drawn in enough to finish it, but it sure wasn't the thrill of the hunt. It was Joel and Ellie. They're the heart of the game, and they're a glorious heart indeed. Them with what appeared to me to be a technical breakthrough with aspects of graphics was enough to keep me going. But it did feel tedious at times, and truthfully just wasn't much fun.

    Ellie and Joel are a perfect combination together. The acting and the story are perfect. The game runs about 12 hours, depending on difficulty. The gameplay is fantastic. The melee and the gunplay is excellent. The graphics look so smooth when it is running 60 frames per second. The story is beautiful.

    I thought the game was really good the first time I played it. Then the second time I played, I thought it was a masterpiece. The story becomes more and more beautiful when you play it more. Then the multiplayer is a surprising fun mode. There are three modes. Supply raid, interrogation, and survivors. Overall the game is beautiful and is one of the greatest games ever made. 10/10.

Ah, also, they are like a father and a daughter, but it is not true. The gameplay is pretty interesting for discussing. It's not an interactive movie, as some people consider. It's an usual game, but it's so cinematic, right. The dialogues were just awesome, no words needed for describing it. I can't stop saying that TLoU has pretty well-sounding soundtrack, graphics, etc. Frankly speaking, I consider that The Last of Us is the main exclusive Sony has got. Seriously. The Order is pretty good, Untill Dawn is great too, but this one will make you buy the console. Only this game, as I think. In a nutshell, it is a masterpiece. Expand

Just because the story is dark and it's an emotional game, doesn't mean the gameplay shouldn't be. I think the only reason why a lot of people like this, me included is because of the voice acting and how real the characters are. But as a game, it doesn't offer much in the gameplay department.

    Mientras que no jugué a la versión original de PS3, bastara con reseñar el remaster de PS4. Ahora bien, The Last Of Us Remastered es un buen videojuego en si? Bueno, voy paso por paso...
    -Gráficos: Como todos los juegos de Naughty Dog, los gráficos son increíbles para la época y envejecieron muy bien, no tienen nada que envidiarle a los PC de aquella época (2013). Sin embargo, al igual que el Uncharted, esto corre a costa de tener mapas chicos.
    -Jugabilidad: Hmmm, creo que esta es la razón por la que le doy un 7... Si bien va evolucionando conforme vas avanzando y me gusta, es bastante mediocre... Al principio estas muy indefenso y los zombis te hacen mucho daño, en especial los chasqueadores... El juego requiere mucho ensayo y error, y es muy facil morir... Así se hace frustrante y aburrido... Yo creo que el problema con este juego es el haber combinado la jugabilidad del survival horror con el de sigilo. Ademas de estar muy poco aprovechado el crafteo, ya que de todas formas los objetos se consiguen normalmente y... tampoco hay mucho que conseguir, cosa que es una pena, ya que hay mucho potencial desperdiciado en la jugabilidad... Luego podes mejorar las armas y vas consiguiendo mas, cosa que esta bastante bien, pero nada mas... El combate suele ser bastante frustrante, y los enemigos son esponjas de balas. Se supone que hay que acercarse con sigilo, pero no debería obligarte a hacerlo todo el tiempo. Te pasas mas de la mitad del tiempo agachado. Igualmente, una vez que pasas por alto todos estos detalles y avanzas bastante en el juego, conseguís mejores armas para defenderte mejor y se podría decir que jugablemente zafa. Ademas, mientras vas avanzando en el juego, también conseguís dinero. Este puede servir para desbloquear extras ya sea skins, arte conceptual, etc. Parecido a Uncharted. Me gusta, ya que aumenta la rejugabilidad y te da la oportunidad de revivir los mismos escenarios que te gustan, mientras desbloqueas nuevo contenido. Rabian que uno de los trajes es de Jak And Daxter? Genial! Naughty Dog siempre hizo referencias en sus juegos a otras franquicias suyas...
    -Historia: Junto con los gráficos, este es su punto mas fuerte. No haré spoilers, pero solo puedo decir que ese toque de película, mas la relación entre Ellie y Joel que se va desarrollando a lo largo del trayecto, son simplemente sobresalientes... La historia te atrapa, y si bien no la puedo detallar ya que es muy larga, cualquiera que lea esta reseña seguramente sabrá de que se trata y estará de acuerdo conmigo en que la historia es simplemente excelente. La muerte de Sarah.... ufff, todavía no supero eso ;(
    -Conclusión: Los puntos positivos de este juego son muy fuertes! Lo puedo recomendar? Claro que si! Jugablemente es mediocre, pero las cinemáticas compensan ese esfuerzo y el modo multijugador es bastante divertido... Ademas de que si ustedes no son como yo que prefiero jugabilidad sobre historia, déjame decirte que pasaras un muy buen rato. La manera de contarte la historia es digna de una película, no es broma, y en parte el juego es rejugable, por lo que no es malo. Un 7 es una muy buena nota. Preferiré Uncharted, pero The Last Of Us tiene su nicho de jugadores y eso hay que respetarlo. A pesar de sus fallos me la pase muy bien.

    If you've owned TLOU previous; there probably isn't enough here to warrant another play-through unless you are dedicated to the multiplayer aspect or just want to own a piece of history all on one disk including the DLC and other extras. This is a must-buy for newcomers but for £40; existing owners may want to wait until the price drops to experience this wonderful game again.

The game quite simply blew me away. The characters and their interactions are believable and well-written, the gameplay is fluid and allows for multiple approaches to a situation and the graphics, art and music all have high production values and look/sound great. To me it wasn't so much a game as an experience that used cinematic storytelling. The criticism some level at this game, claiming it has 'no gameplay' and is basically one giant cutscene, is incredibly hyperbolic and makes me suspect they either haven't played the game or are just hating on it for no reason. The game doesn't have that many cutscenes at all and they are usually not more than 1 or 2 minutes. I was never annoyed or felt like the pacing of the game suffered from any cutscenes. It used them a lot more sparingly than some other games I've played on PS4, such a tomb raider and infamous second son.

    In conclusion: 10/10, must-get for PS4 if you haven't played it before.

    Oynanis
    İste butun olay burada. Bu oyunun oynanisi cok kotu ve sikici. Naughty Dog soyle bir sey yapmis; normalde olmasi gereken silah kullanma mekaniklerini daha kotu yapmis ve karakter gelisimiyle onlari olmasi gereken hale getirmenizi istemis. Soyle ki; oyunun basinda nisan aldiginizda imlec o kadar sallaniyor ki siz imleci hedefe dogrultmaya calisirken imlec tam tersi yonde gidiyor. Nisan almak icin L2 ye bastigimda imlecin baslangic noktasi o kadar sacma sapan yerlerde oluyor ki nisan almak iyice eziyet haline donusuyor. İmlecin odaklandiginda capinin kuculmesinin zamanlamasi cok sacma anlarda oluyor ornegin ben daha imleci adamin vucuduna dogru kaydirirken odaklanmis oluyor adamin vucuduna getirdigimdeyse odak kayboluyor. Normalde soyle olmasi gerekmiyor mu: ben bir noktaya nisan aldigimda once karakter odaklanir ve imlec kuculur eger cok uzun sure ayni noktada tutarsam imleci bu sefer odak kaybolur ve imlec buyur ve ben ates ettigimde tutturma ihtimalim azalir. İste Last Of Us ates etme mekaniklerini en basindan olmasi gerektigi gibi yapmayip karakter gelisimiyle olmasi gereken hale getirilmesini istemis ve bu oynanisa zenginlik katmamis aksine oynanisin sig olmasina ve oyundan alinabilecek zevkin baltalanmasina sebep olmus.
    Oynanisin bir diger elementi olan gizlilik ise comel, arkadan yaklas ve hakla, dikkat dagitmak icin saga sola tas at, sise at gibi elementlerden olusuyor. Buradaki sorun ise karaktere arkadan yaklasip bogmaya kalktiginizda olan animasyonun sacma sapan uzunlugu ve bu olay oyunun icinde o kadar cok tekrar ediyor ki o animasyonun uzunlugu insani cileden cikartiyor. Gizlilikte dusman yapay zekasi ise yapay zeka gibi hissettirmiyor. Cunku bir karakteri gizlilikle oldurdugunuzde bir anda herkes sizin oldugunuz yere dogru yurumeye basliyor ve catismaya girmek kacinilmaz hale geliyor. Bu da gizlilikle ilerlemenin yalnizca vakit kaybi gibi hissettiriyor. Ancak catisarak ilerlediginizde ise cok fazla kaynak tukettiginiz icin ve oyunda butun malzemeler sayili oldugu icin oyun size bir nevi gizliligi zorunlu kiliyor. Ayrica bu gizlilik ve aksiyon kisimlari oyunun basindan sonuna ayni hicbir degisim gelisim yok. Oyunun en basinda ne yapiyorsaniz oyunun sonunda da onu yapiyorsunuz.
    Bu olay karakter gelisimi icin de gecerli. Mekaniksel olarak karakterinizin oyunun basinda sahip oldugu ozelliklerini iyilestiriyorsunuz; daha iyi nisan alma, dusmanlarin seslerini daha uzaktan duyabilme, daha cok can vs. Yani oyun size hicbir yenilik sunmuyor. Nasil basliyorsaniz o sekilde bitiriyorsunuz.
    Bu oyunda level design diye bir sey yok. Oyunda catismalarin gectigi mekanlarda fazladan en fazla bir ya da iki oda oluyor. Girdiginiz binalar hic dusunulmeden tasarlanmis dumduz yapilar. Oyun cizgisel oldugu icin diyebilirsiniz. Ancak alternatif rotalar olabilirdi.Oyunda gidecegim yere farkli odalardan gecerek ya da butun binayi cevreyi kesfederek gidebilirdim. Ancak kesfedebileceginiz alanlar cok kisitli ya da kesif gudusunu tamamiyle tatmin eden ya da tetikleyen bir yani yok. Kesfetmeyi yalnizca mecbur kaldiginiz icin yapiyorsunuz. Yakin dovusu oyun size son care olarak sunmus. Gizlilikle ve silahla oldurdugunuz dusmanlarin arasindan biri siyrilip size yaklasirsa onu yakin dovusle alabilin diye sunulmus. Burda da elinizde sopa olusunun demir olusunun ya da baska bir yakin dovus silahi olusunun hicbir onemi yok. Her birinin uzerinde kullanim bari var. Neredeyse her biriyle yalnizca bir dusmani oldurebiliyorsunuz. Ayrica yakin dovusle birini oldurmek cok uzun suruyor.
    Ayrica bulmacalar berbat. Bir de kare tusunu spamlama var. Bir dusmanla bogusurken oyun size kare spamlatiyor. Bir de bu oyunda 4 tane falan dusman tipi var herhalde.
    Hikaye
    Hikayenin tek guzel yani sonu. Onun disinda ovulecek bir yani varmis gibi gelmiyor. Ellie ve Joel arasindaki baba-kiz iliskisinin yolculuk boyunca ilerlemesini bekliyorsunuz ancak yol boyunca Joel sen benim kizim degilsin tavirlari takinirken bir anda degisiyor. Yani tek bir olayla bu iliski kuruluyor. Dolayisiyla o samimiyeti bir turlu yakalmiyorsunuz. En azindan ben yakalayamadim. Yalnizca oyunun sonunda Joel'in verdigi karar beni etkiledi.
    Sonuc olarak oyunun ne hikayesi beni etkiledi ne de karakterleri bana kendisini cok onemsetebildi. Sikici bir oynanisla da oyun bana giderek kendisini onemsiz hale getirdi.

    One of those games that you know you will be sad when it ends. A really solid 9 from me. The story/graphics/characters/voice acting all weary well made. The only thing is a AI isn't perfect and weapons crafting/gathering a bit unrealistic and irritating. Naughty dog just makes damn good games... I am looking forward to uncharted 4.

    Considering I gave the PS3 version a 8/10 with the only negative aspect being that the console wasn't powerful enough to present this story properly, this is the version everyone was waiting for.

Marvel as a few tiny details that you wouldn't notice at all unless somebody told you it was upgraded. Relive the Masterpiece that won more Game Of The Year Awards than Super Mario Galaxy and Ocarina Of Time combined by having none of that silly gameplay or imagination and more story about dirty depressed people getting their lives F***ed up. Speaking of Ocarina of Time, if you thought the Water temple from Ocarina Of Time was a mindf**k, prepare for the mind bending puzzles in The Last Of Us, such as moving that same ladder to the same spot in the same way over and over again. Good game design? Who needs it when you can get perfect 10s by having a story that is the video game equivalent of Oscarbait? Gaze in absolute awe as you watch the same stealth takedown a million times, because with the oil tanker full of money that Sony gave Naughty Dog to make this game, they couldn't spring for more than one stealth kill animation. They say that games are getting dumbed down for the casual gamers nowadays, but I strongly disagree. At one point in this game, I only had like 30 bullets. If that's not what you call hardcore survival gaming, then I don't know what is. People also say that its just "Another zombie game" which is ridiculous because they're not zombies. Its clearly explained that they are a fungal spore, and the fact that they all act exactly like zombies is not important. Why have interesting level design when you can shepherd the player along linear corridors because you wouldn't want them to get lost on their way to the next cut scene, and have all the fights take place in arenas made of conveniently placed boxes and shipping containers like the new Metal Gear Solid game if Hideo Kojima was on Ambien for the entire development process. Clunky shooting gameplay? In a zombie game? Who cares, it adds tension, I mean Resident Evil does it, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying The Last Of Us is comparable to Resident Evil, The Last Of US has nowhere near achieved the legacy of Resident Evil, mostly because it hasn't spawned sequel after quality degrading sequel... Yet anyway... Your companion AI often breaks immersion by running around mindlessly without alerting the enemies, but again who cares because story. To once more bring up Resident Evil, I wish they had made Ellie able to be seen, but you have the option to shove the little brat in a trash bin until the adult stuff is taken care of. Again, people like to complain that Cinematic games like The Last Of Us are for casuals and are a cancer to the gaming industry, but I like to say they are made for people who want different experiences from games, like somebody who watches movies for the set design. Cinematic experiences are amazing in games, why use the power in that Next Gen console to make games with huge open worlds or give the game more dynamic AI when you can use it to replicate movies? Furthermore, why let a game's gameplay influence your experience with and feelings toward it,? I definitely won't miss moments like in Twilight Princess when I first stood on the cliff overlooking Lake Hylia, the guitar track playing a solemn melody, as I stared at a dark but beautiful world, ravaged by an ongoing struggle for the Triforce, I, the lone hero sent to save it. Screw that, I'd much rather the game yell "THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD BE FEELING AND WHAT YOU SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING" at me with the subtlety of Nic Cage in a French art film. Its not like video games are the one artistic medium that allow you to interact and effect the outcome of the actions being portrayed on screen (Well besides maybe a choose your own adventure novel). One probably wonders why every game doesn't take as much control as possible out of the players hand so they can watch all the interesting stuff happen in a cutscene they can't interact with in anyway. Overall, The Last Of Us is a great story, with a so-so game buried deep within it. That equates to a Great game overall that is better than the sum of its parts and not a masterpiece like everybody says it is. But my opinion is moot anyway, seeing as everybody else is just going to give it a 10 so why did I even bother? Expand

    Basically, the game is still brilliant and remains the measuring stick for it's genre of game. If you havn't played it before and you've got a PS4 then it's a no brainer, you simply MUST play it. The big question is whether you should buy it if you already own it on PS3. What you're getting apart from the obvious improved graphics is all the DLC and a making of documentary. Really this is down to the individual whether you think these extras make it worth buying again. But the game itself? Peerless!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played it only for three hours, but most reviews are written by guys who've seen the game on yt, so whatever. I was greatly amused by a sudden plot twist at the end of prologue. Shooting reeks, but graphics are really nice and frame rate is decent. I'm not entirely happy with the narrative approach, which seems to be The Walking Dead soap-opera style, but at least voice acting is great.
    PS. I've seen an episode of WD once. Two women were washing clothes in a river. Then one solitary zombie was killed in a non-spectacular way, and at episode's end everyone gathered in a room and cried together.

    Finally got the chance to play this game. And it is what of thought it be. Is it a bad game? No. But is it great? Not close. It's a good game that's for sure.
    Pros:
    Atmosphere- it feels all too real. The survival feeling is true. Scavenging ammo during shoot outs whilst taking cover is intense. Side characters- The situation is tense, you don't know who to trust, or what exactly they

    Pros:
    Atmosphere- it feels all too real. The survival feeling is true. Scavenging ammo during shoot outs whilst taking cover is intense.
    Side characters- The situation is tense, you don't know who to trust, or what exactly they might do. But some.. Are just flat out insane.
    Ellie- she's a great character, certainly better then Joel. You can relate to her, and always hope the best for her.

    Cons:
    Joel- he's a boring character, never had a connection with him, although usually his arsenal is better then Ellie's .
    Story- is too far predictable, me and my cousin laughed at times, because we knew what was going to happen. And the ending is sequel heavy. Not satisfying.
    Enemies- some will magically see you or notice you even if you were in cover or moving quietly. Some wear helmets, many times I clearly shot the face, and the helmet just falls off. And there is far too many QTE, which makes it a button mashing fest.
    Too linear- not enough room to scavenge or plan, it makes the game far too hard. Okay I understand Ellie can't swim, and this adds puzzles for Joel to help Ellie across the water. But why is the a 'convenient' plank for Ellie to step on, every where? It gets old really fast. And the DLC pack that comes with it, makes Ellie do certain actions for no apparent reason. Only to raise more controversy on the game.

    Special mention- this game was fun, but has bad pacing, and a list of other problems from keeping it great for me, but you do get your money's worth, for the length of about 20hrs doing everything. I don't exactly recommend this game, it isn't something special. And on the PS4 the graphics aren't as good as Infamous, it's still PS3 ish. Although this is the most mature Zombie game on the market.

    The Last of Us Remastered is perhaps the most frustrating game I've seen this year not because of the combat or characters or story or anything in the game itself for that matter. Just how much attention and praise its gotten for being the same game but prettier and on a different system. TLOU is a good game, no doubt about it.

Just how much attention and praise its gotten for being the same game but prettier and on a different system. TLOU is a good game, no doubt about it. The combat is flawless and executed perfectly in every way. Not to get ahead of myself here, but the combat is actually, in my opinion, is as sleek and satisfying as the Batman games. The characters are relatable and none of them are irritating or arbitrary in any way. The game has its eyes on cinematic side to games, just like Uncharted. It pulls it off nicely and thanks to the graphics makes cut scenes look like a Blu-Ray film, and the gameplay look like a work of interactive art. If there's one thing TLOU slips up on is the story progression. As in the places the characters go to seems a little too convenient or pre-determined a lot of the time. For example, in one section of the game you meet someone who just so happens to be a friend of the main character AND a mechanic to get them out of there as well as a car mechanic too.

    This game is recommended and does deserve the praise it gets despite the fact the people who get this for a second time on PS4 are unmistakably going to be playing the same game again. Not that there's a problem with that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When i started this game i was really expecting one of the best games of all time, because of all the praise this game gets. I am really disappointed.
    The Story is ordinary, a world that has be taken by a fungus, and the citizens become zombies. Them we have a few that survived and now is fighting for their lives. We have so many games with similar story.
    The characters has a good development, and this is the reason i give 4 to this game
    The IA is so stupid that broke the immersion of the game. Seeing Elie walking in the front of a enemy and none of they reacting at all is ridiculous. If the game has stupid zombies it's fine, but people beeing so stupid as zombies really broke the game.
    The Stealth is awful, as you throw a bottle near the enemy and has no reaction, but sometimes you throw and a guy from the otherside of the map comes to see what's happening, totally trash.
    The combat is bad either, with really simplistic movements, and repetitive.
    (SPOILER ALERT)
    The game ending is what i was hoping to be the savior of the game, but unfortunately wasn't.
    Seeing Joel rushing to a hospital full of fireflies, and killing all of then like he was Rambo, is laughable. The worse is that he alone kill practically a army and saves Ellie in the end of it. The story would be so more impacting if Ellie died to save the world. They could have shown it a few years later, the world rising up after healing came, showing Joel rising emotionally in a healed world. They could even make a new game showing this, but they didn't unfortunately

    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.
