    Having not been able to get in to this game on the PS3, I cautiously bought it on PS4 and I don't know what happened, but I really got in to it.

    I don't know if it is the DS4 or just that I was more focused on it this time, but I deeply enjoyed the whole game. Story was great and absorbing, lots of outcomes you didn't see coming, and characters you really get attached to.

    Throw in the real feeling of survivial from the infected and bandits, you never feel truly safe.

    I have seen some users who have gave it a bad score just to clearly be edgy like a hipster would, hating on a company/franchise just because it's popular, but Naughty Dog have really out done themselves with this remastered edition.

    Don't think about buying it, just buy it.    … Expand

    This game is overrated a little bit. I mean the story is really great, but also exaggerated, unnatural, unbelievable (I mean the relations part, not the zombie one, zombie is extremaly believable). This story is like Leo DiCaprio in Wolf of WallStreet - it wants to much to get the Oscar. And it's visible. I don't buy this melodramatic formula. It's cheap for me.

    Even though the story was VERY compelling, the gameplay felt repetitive and monotonous. The lack of ammo added to the realism of the situations, as well as some other things.

Like would simple the plot about how as two try to find answers and survive in a new world, but this the simplicity is full depth.

    You might wonder, " If you liked it, why only 7?" It's all about the combat component of this game. Any fighting skirmish is like a puzzle. You listen to enemies, study their movement, find a pattern and quietly kill. The main problem is that each battle scene is similar to the previous one, only the locations change. After 3-4 hours it gets boring. You will have to take breaks, otherwise because of the constant boredom you throw the game.

    Many may say that it is possible to arrange a shoot. The gameplay is not meant to be that you took an active plot. Ammunition is sorely lacking.    … Expand

It's a bad game, but a good experience, overall its managed to still be propped up by that, but I'd never want to play through it again.

    The character movement is very stiff, a lot of the times you're left wondering why you cannot jump up places or squeeze through gaps. So most of the gameplay revolves around finding alternative routes, usually by finding a wooden pallet for Ellie, giving a boost up or finding a ladder. It really becomes tiresome, especially since you can see a big gap in the object that has fallen over, that for some reason the game decides would be impossible to get through.

    I just found myself through all the Infected and shooting scenes, just saying to myself "alright we'll just get past this to get to the story". I never wanted to do the shooting or the stealth, the combat isn't good and the controls are too stiff for stealth. Hitman makes stealth fun and Gears of War makes shooting fun, but The Last of Us is neither. I never actually enjoyed the gameplay part of the game, my favourite parts were the down time, the moments I was exploring and finding cool random things in the world. What's good is the DLC is pretty much 80% of this, why I enjoyed playing the DLC more than the actual main game.

    I would love to see The Last of Us 2, maybe telling the story of the downfall as the opening part of the game was the best part of The Last of Us. I just think The Last of Us is good, just nothing amazing.    … Expand

    The Last of Us has ruined games for me. Since playing this masterpiece, nothing has come close to meeting the high expectations for narrative scope and world design that the developers Naughty Dog have set.

Since playing this masterpiece, nothing has come close to meeting the high expectations for narrative scope and world design that the developers Naughty Dog have set.
    I'll begin with the one negative I can genuinely think of for this game: The weapon choice for the flamethrower seems a bit out of place and its inclusion towards the end doesn't really make sense. That's it. Pretty minor, and when the only criticism you have for a game is that there's a **** flamethrower in it, you know you're playing something pretty good.
    Onto the positives:
    1. The story, whilst it's been done a thousand times before, feels fresh, and you genuinely don't know where it's going at all. It's pacing is perfect, with massive, adrenaline fuelled bosses/set pieces juxtaposed with moments of tranquillity, just to explore the world. The way it's told doesn't miss a beat through it's 13-16 hour run time. An emotionally gripping tale topped with a somewhat bittersweet finale.
    2.The world that's been crafted is one of the finest in all of gaming, as it portrays a barren society through its dilapidated buildings and overgrown vegetation whilst keeping the sense that this world was once inhabited. The areas you traverse are varied and interesting, encouraging exploration into every nook to discover another artifact that pieces the story together.
    3. The characters are all very engaging, however the two that the story focuses on, two survivors brought together by circumstance, have an unmatched level of depth and chemistry. Their relationship grows and dwindles and breaks and reforms multiple times throughout the story, with the excellent voice acting and motion capture for these two making their trials and tribulations feel authentic. You want to root for these two, but at times you'll question whether you should.
    4. The gameplay plays second fiddle to the story, however the immersion of the combat drags you deeper into the world by making you carefully craft items and hoard ammo from a limited amount of supplies found throughout the world. This makes you scavenge for more ways to survive, and also shapes the way you enter fights, with the constant danger of being without ammo always just one mistimed shot away. The human enemies encountered are standard, but the two main zombies (Infected as they're referred to) fought add terror and variety to proceedings. They make you use stealth, craft bombs and keep your distance because confronting them is so distressing. Action sequences are pulsating and nerve wracking at once, the way they should be.
    5. The musical score is immense, nothing more to add.
    6. The DLC is pretty awesome and adds an overall insight into one of gaming's best child characters, Ellie, as we see her touching yet inevitably tragic back story unfold.
    7. The online multiplayer is more enjoyable than expected. Whilst I wouldn't buy the game solely for it, it offered a few more fun hours with the combat mechanics.

    To conclude, The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played. It's gripping, heartbreaking, eye opening and stunning all at the same time. A masterpiece, a game that hopefully proves what impact video games can have on the entertainment medium. Play it right now.    … Expand

The story sucks you in and makes you care about the characters. I was so involved that i was having to step back and take in just how much i was emotionally involved. Im cynical as hell and never believed this game could even be close to as good as advertised. I didnt buy on PS3; playing something else. And thank god...the remastered version comes with all DLCs so my first experience was even better. I probably wouldnt have bought this game either if i wasnt looking for a PS4 game but im so glad i did. Also the multiplayer isnt just tacked on. Multiplayer play is really unique and lot of fun to play. I couldnt believe how many peeps who played this on the PS3 couldnt wait to pay $60 again to play on PS4. Final words...Do not buy another game until you play this. You will love it. Believe the hype and get this game. Its the best game for the PS4 easy. This is written in middle November and nothing released beats it. Get this game NOW, its so addictive, satisfying, suspenseful, challenging, innovative, emotional and frickin fun.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played On: Hard

    While The Last of Us delivers a superb story, it's held back by some questionable gameplay mechanics that seem to keep it from being an entirely satisfying experience. More often than not, the game forces players into combat situations that feel arbitrarily set in place. While sneaking past enemies is certainly a mainstay in the game, at times it will throw unexpected enemies at the player that cannot be avoided, forcing a fight.

    While this wouldn't be such an issue in certain other games, it does take one out of the seriousness of the story itself when you are forced to have Joel run up and brawl several enemies to death. This, mixed with the lack of ammo one will find later on (despite the fact you can stealth kill individuals who are equipped with fully loaded guns and they drop nothing) ends up making the game feel like a brawl-a-thon which is clunky and boring.

    Mechanics aside, the story is what really shines through. While the overall story arc itself isn't particularly unique or interesting, what makes the game are the characters. Ellie is perhaps one of the best female leads in a video game in history, while Joel, often called "Tex" by his partner earlier in the story, really sells the hard-ass survivor, and his character arc is one of the best I've seen in recent media story-telling. However, a chapter near the middle that starts off interesting begins to feel as if it demands too much time for too little pay-off, with its finish eliciting a sigh of relief rather than a fond farewell.

    Overall, while the story itself is quite enjoyable, primarily the characters themselves, it begins to drag in one of the middle chapters before picking up once again in the next, and the gameplay mechanics begin to feel like a detriment rather than a benefit half-way to three-quarters of the way through it. This, mixed with an ending sequence that felt too fast and easy, leaves one realizing that the greatness of this game isn't in its gameplay.    … Expand

    That said, it is now 3 months ago since i completed The Last of Us on PS4, which is the first time i played it, and still to this day, the entirety of the game still chills my bones, sometimes it just hits me, without warning, about how this game made me feel, and still makes me feel although i don't play it anymore!

    The story hit hard, and it hit good, and still i am in awe of this game!

    Not only does the core game mechanics work super well, the level and art design hit the ball out of the park on this one!

    It had a satisfying, albeit disturbing and emotional beginning, middle, and an end.

    The feeling i got when i played the game, and to this day, still haunts me. It almost haunts me so much, that i don't wanna play the game again, cause it was so intense, and it felt so very very true!

    Games and Movies are a high passion for me, and i always seek storytelling perfection, as there are many many games and movies i love, The Last of Us is the one that hit me the most!

    I cannot express exactly how i feel about this game, cause it's ineffable for me!

    Hands down!!! The best game, i have EVER, played!

    I deep down wish so much, that i could shake Neil Druckmann's hand, and thank him and his team, for a story of a lifetime, that you have given me. I will probably never forget what this game made me feel!

The Last of Us is an actionI got the Last of Us around the time it came out but never managed to find the time to finish it. The game has amassed many accolades and awards from critics and is considered one of the greatest games of all time. I was finally able to find the time to finish it. The Last of Us even still in 2016 is one of the best PlayStation exclusives I have ever played. The Last of Us is an action survival game developed by Naughty Dog well know for the Uncharted series. Hearing that the game took place in a post-apocalyptic zombie setting my hopes went down. The post-apocalyptic zombie genre is beginning to get real stale and old. People have compared this game to the Walking Dead TV series that I have no inclination in watching. For this review I will try to push aside all my views on the genre and focus instead on the game and explain why I am able to like this game but still not like the genre it is in.
    The Last of Us was made a few years ago back in 2013 at the end of 7th console generation. I will be reviewing the remastered version on PS4 which looks surprisingly beautiful and breathtaking for a post-apocalyptic setting. Instead of creating a generic desert wasteland setting the Last of Us features a variety of unique environments from collapsed cities and suburbs where plants and nature are returning to flourish, stunning mountains full of trees rivers and wildlife to snowy locations up in the mountains. The graphics have also aged surprisingly well but do not look as impressive as some of the current 8th generation game engines. How well the graphics have held up his a testament to the fact that photo-realistic graphics can be just as stunning if not better than stylized ones.The game features limited types of enemies which include infected zombies and bandits and raiders and the occasional soldiers. I found the infected design better than most zombie designs because of the fact that they are infected by a fungal infection based off of the real life fungal infection that happens to insects called cordyceps. I found the zombie enemies still unexciting and uninspired and I felt they could have done more with the fungal infection theme. I find zombies a repetitive uninspired enemies that are too prevalent in the game industry. I found the raider encounters tense and exciting especially the encounters in the winter section of the game. Overall the Last of Us offers an impressive presentation that will not be forgotten excusing the boring zombie enemies.
    Story wise the Last of Us tells an unforgettable story that you will not forget. I found the story so enjoyable that I recommend playing this game for the story alone. The Last of Us stars the main characters of Joel and Ellie. I found them some of the most well developed characters in a video game period. I don’t want to spoil the story at all because it is that good. All I will say is that the game takes place during the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse in the U.S. The goal is to escort Ellie a 13 year old girl who is immune to the virus to the lab of the Fireflies a terrorist organization that fights against the now remaining U.S. government which has become militarized. The story will keep you on edge as you watch Ellie and Joel travel across the country trying to survive. By the end of the game you will gripping your controlling hoping that Ellie and Joel can make it out alive. My favorite character by far is Ellie and I found her to be entertaining, sympathetic, and funny all at the same time. I found the ending satisfying and encompasses the tone of the game.
    The Last of Us offers fun innovative gameplay that helps add to game's narrative and graphics. The Last of Us uses the standard survival gameplay system. The game uses stealth and a crafting system where combat is done with an over the shoulder perspective. The game also has the occasional boss fights as well. The gameplay is nothing to write home about yet its simplicity is its beauty. The gameplay allows the player to experience the story and atmosphere without being interrupted. I found the melee combat nice and crunchy and allows the player to feel every painful brutal attack you give to each enemy. The gameplay adds to brutal nature of the story by having the player engage in guerilla warfare by having the player use handcrafted weapons and basic firearms. I did find some weapons unnecessary such as the flamethrower and automatic weapons. They take away from the survival nature of the combat and turn it into a generic over the shoulder shooter like most games. The Last of Us delivers in making tense survival gameplay that will keep entertained throughout the game.

    The Last of Us is an essential game that should be played by all Playstation users. The game features atmospheric realistic environments and crafts a story that is so excellent it will be remembered long after finishing the game. The survival gameplay is great but does not quite measure up to the game’s story and atmosphere. I believe that there will never be such a thing as a perfect game but the Last of Us comes extremely close. The game has a few flaws such as the long load times and zombie enemies which I found simplistic compared to the game’s great story and characters. Despite the fact that I do not like the zombie apocalypse genre, I found that The Last of Us a masterpiece. When I finished the game and saw the credits roll I realized that the game was not about the zombies but the human drama instead and what people will do to protect the ones they love.

They could not do justice to this story. At least not in a 1 to 3 hour movie. Perhaps a miniseries, 10 part, 10 hours. Anyway back to the game. The mechanics work just fine, the gameplay is great, the shooting, running, melee, all are top notch. The story grabs you from the start and does not let you go. I am a huge fan of Mass Effect and the development of each character within its story. The Last of Us creates a bond between player and characters like no other game. The entire game focuses on struggle, loss and the human desire to fight on and find any hope you can to drive you. I thought this would be another zombie game...I could not have been more wrong. Sure zombies infest the world, but the real terror is the people. Last of Us captures humanity in all its ugliness, and does it beautifully. I am 42 years old and have played games forever. I remember Zelda, wow, I remember a lot of great titles. Last of Us is truly in the argument for greatest game ever....period.… Expand

For me and what I look for in video games The Last of Us is as perfect of a game as I could ever hope to find. You play as Joel. A middle aged parent living in a quarantine zone in Boston. I won't give too much away but Joel has a friend named Tess, and both are very good at smuggling. It becomes quite apparent that what is left of the United States government is corrupt and loves censorship. Anyway, it is really hard to give you much more than that without spoiling a lot. It is not an open world game. Instead it focuses on a more linear approach but at the same time rewards exploring players. You will need supplies and ammunition both of which are very hard to find so make everything count. I also suggest playing on hard your first run through. Normal can be a bit too easy at times. If you own a ps4 or ps3 pick this game up as soon as possible. People will be talking about this game for years to come, and now that The Last of Us part 2 is in the works now is the perfect time to play it.… Expand

The gameplay itself isn't super great and you find that the collection of weapons is almost meaningless by the end of the game. The real value of the Last of Us lies in its storytelling. It puts your morals on spin cycle and presents them to you at the end of the game, changed from what they were before. It makes us all long for someone special to be with, even if it means the end of the world as we know it. That was a quote from the movie 2012 btw.

    Good looking game with a fairly intimate, character driven story set in a redundant post-apocalypse that gets off to an interesting start.

    The gameplay becomes repetitive fast, and ranges from boring to tedious; ultimately boiling down to extreme resource management, guess-work, and stealth, with occasional quicktime events and cut-scenes. Although it gives the appearance of a    Good looking game with a fairly intimate, character driven story set in a redundant post-apocalypse that gets off to an interesting start.

    The gameplay becomes repetitive fast, and ranges from boring to tedious; ultimately boiling down to extreme resource management, guess-work, and stealth, with occasional quicktime events and cut-scenes.

    Although it gives the appearance of a realistic open environment, it is actually extremely linear. You are almost always forced through strict, unintuitive corridors with only one way to progress.

    There are dozens of obvious openings, walk-arounds, things to climb, and paths in the environment that should be easy to traverse, which are blocked by invisible walls.

    The girl can't swim, so go get the inevitable wooden plank hidden around the corner and bring it back for her to cross. Ad nauseam.

    The AI is completely ridiculous and often immersion-breaking. The two generic enemy types --humans and clickers-- both just walk aimlessly around the environment in patterns akin to the 8-bit era, apparently doing nothing at all in totally random locations -- that happen to perfectly block your only path.

    What is intended to build tension ends up feeling forced and frustrating.

    What little action there is is hampered by archaic mechanics, and brazenly unimaginative enemy difficulty scaling. For example, if the same enemy you've encountered dozens of times suddenly happens to be wearing a generic construction hardhat, they will take two or three extra shots, no matter where you hit them. Even if you clearly shoot them in the face. There is no acknowledgement of accuracy, each enemy is just one giant hit-box, so there is essentially no point in aiming, very unsatisfying.

    The gameplay is so stale that comparisons to The Walking Dead tv show are inescapable and likely to leave players wondering why they're even bothering with the under-utilized Dual Shock controller instead of just watching another so-so zombie tale.

    For a AAA title, it is easy to appreciate some of the risks this game takes, focusing on character arcs, mood, storytelling, and an attempted sense of immersion in a bleak, realistic world; unfortunately it is hard to ignore the weak gameplay which undermines its loftier intentions.

    The Last of Us actually makes much more sense in its TellTale Games spinoff interactive comic format. On the PS4, remastered, it is barely a step above interactive movie, and not significantly improved from its original PS3 release.

    Not bad, but not much fun to play. Extremely overrated.    … Expand

While it's not a perfect game due to glitches, poor ai based off squad tactics, enemies with infinite ammo and repeative ai. it's still the most intense single played game i ever played. The graphics are hard to see but their highly detailed , they put out almost everything in singleplayer. I never really enjoyed the running game but playing it on grounded and survival hand to hand combat opened up into a street brawler i never knew about. I died so many times stoned and drunk i can't really remember the story it get's far fetched. If they make another i hope ellie grows some **** and starts acting like a babe.

Every bullet counts, each shiv is important and medication is scare even on the normal difficulty. The horror of this game is based in the horror of man and the suspense of wading through a clicker filled room not knowing if you'll make it through alive. But by far the most important thing in this game is the story. Now I have to admit the story isn't original, but it is well told. The characters are real and the dialogue believable. The lack of clear villains means each side is seen as human as people trying to make the best of a bad situation, but the game doesn't forget to have some fun, make some jokes and enjoy life. The voice acting and facial animation must be commended as being amazing. Overall this game is an experience with enough challenge to attract people for a multiple playthroughs.… Expand

Everything from the graphics to the gameplay feel top notch and is unfortunately a rare experience in these current times. Let me start with the story, It is rich and exotic the characters actually feel alive and everything they do to what they think can be a serious note. In this game you are the remnants of a large virus epidemic that turns people into flesh eating zombie-like monsters. If i were to use a TV show for this comparison i would say The Walking Dead! The plot is great with some twist and turns oh and if you don't do that QTE expect a gory scene to come from there after thanks to the graphics engine the game is able to express the devastation and detail of life after civilization collapsed. This game just gets everything right so anyway anyone tries to use the outbreak for their own gain is demonstrated and most of the time gives you the option to play the hero. The gameplay however is different then almost any game think of it as Dark Soul's difficulty compared to an FPS it is that good. Due to supplies being scarce it is up to you to find ammo and weapons and use them at appropriate times or face an unfortunate end. You are always in constant danger from infected and from hostile human beings. The third person view seems most appropriate and gives it an Uncharted like style with out the Uncharted feel. The game mixes lots of emotions it could get very dark at times, funny or just plain depressing but that is why you play it and it feels true to it's name in addition the games price currently is excellent The Last of Us constantly won game of the year and it is deserving of it %100.

If I had to use one word to some up The Last of Us, that word would be Emotion. Naughty Dog has created a world so believable, so immersive, and absolutely frightening which is a feat unto itself. But its the characters that really make The Last of Us stand out as a true masterpiece of game design. It's not very often that you can connect with the characters of a video game on such a deep and interpersonal way. You feel deeply for the plight of Joel and Ellie. You understand the moral dilemma that they face in a way that even film producers have a hard time getting their audience to emotionalize. The perfect design of the post apocalyptic United States, paired with who in my opinion are the two greatest characters to ever be voiced in a video game along with a soundtrack that can bring tears to your eyes all on its own, and you really start to understand that Naughty Dog has done something special with The Last of Us. Since the original release on PS3 in July 2013 I have played completely through the game twelve times and it never once ceases to amaze. I still cry every time even though I know exactly what is going to happen. I still feel lost in the landscape despite the fact I know exactly where I am going. Another thing I think is absolutely worth mentioning about this game is that despite some very tense moments, you never feel pressured to perform. You don't have to play the game "perfectly", you don't have to master some inane set of skills to help you progress. All you have to do is sit back and play. I like to play the game at night in the darkest room in the house and just sit back and relax and allow myself to be complete transported into the world. If you are tired of first person shooters, tired of RPGs and overly gratuitous action in every video game you play then The Last of Us is worth every last bit of your time and money. If I had to make a list of three video games that were the only games I could play for the rest of my life, then The Last of Us would be near the top. Even if you only every play FPS games. Even if you only play JRPGs, heck...even if you only play card games, I suggest you play The Last of Us. Then, play it again.… Expand

    Good game, but not completely earned the hype it got. It is quite good, nothing really to bother aout, but i didn't catch me as other games did. there was not a single point, where i thought "oh one more level/area" and i suddenly was 3 am.

    They should make a movie and not a game.
    I've completed 150-200 games, and this is one of the worst I've ever played. Lame, stupid story, annoying sidekick, post apocalyptic world, shooting, stealth, story heavy and terrible gameplay overall. Everything I don't like in video games. It was a pain to play it to the end.

    Grade S+ atmosphere with unbelievably brutal, grounded and realistic gore. It is unforgiving and dark, yet around every corner hides a hint of hope. The story is simple but well told and flawlessly executed. It sucks you into the experience, leaving you emotionally impacted well after the game is finished. It's all complimented by the best soundtrack in all of gaming history; period.    SP:

    Addicting and incredibly well balanced multiplayer experience, in my opinion even the best of this and the last generation. With 60 frames per second, resolution and HDR options, this title becomes and instant standalone-classic, even if it is 'only' a remaster of a ps3 game.

    Verdict: My favourite video game of all time; nothing compares to it.    … Expand

    Probably the single most overrated game of all time. First of all, linear games have got to be a thing of the past. They are simply so much worse than open-world games, for a variety of reasons. The art style is incredibly boring: you only see about two different colours in the entire game.

In that sense it reminded me of Gears of War or Doom, which are some of the most boring, repititive, mind-numbing games out there. The story is what makes this game special, but that's not sufficient to carry the whole game.… Expand

    This game isn't perfect, but it does some things so much better than any other video game I've ever played that it feels like it might as well be perfect. Because of that, I can't give it anything less than a 10.

Because of that, I can't give it anything less than a 10.

    First, my critiques. At times, the level design is extremely linear. I don't just mean that there's no open world. I'm fine with that. I just mean that there is almost no room for flexibility in how you approach most levels.

    My only other critique is that it could have been longer. I don't just mean that it should have been longer for the sake of being longer (it took me about 15 hours to complete). I mean there was actually quite a lot of room for more. For example, I won't spoil the narrative, but when you finish the sequence in Pittsburgh, they jump cut to Jackson. I understand why, but to me it felt like there was a chapter missing. There was room, I think, for a chapter with character development / emotional unpacking somewhere on the trek between Pittsburgh and Jackson. Similarly, after Jackson, I thought there was also some room for another chapter. I don't think these would have derailed the story. Rather, I think adding more could actually have served to build upon the character development and set up some of the games big moments even better.

    That said, there is a reason why so many people think this game is a masterpiece, including me. The writing is so much better than almost any game I've ever played. It is better than 9 out of 10 Hollywood movies. The characters are complex, their emotions feel natural, and you really can't help but become emotionally invested in Joel and Ellie and many others you meet along the way. The game is so grounded and somehow makes you forget this is a zombie video game. These characters feel so real. Finally, this is all punctuated by an ending that truly is as good as everyone says it is. That's all I'll say about that. You just need to experience it.

    Also, as a bonus, the DLC is actually incredible. It retains all the writing and voice acting quality of the main game. It's an amazing story on its own, but it perfectly builds on the main game too. I really can't recommend this game enough. While there is somehow actually room for improvement, this game took my breath away. For that, it gets a 10/10.    … Expand

    Last of Us 1 always felt extremely overrated. It's super linear, so you either care for that overdramatic story or you don't and i didn't. At all. It was just so forced. Voice acting was good, but dialogue was just meh at best. But when i saw Last of Us 2 i literally laughed till it hurt. That was just painful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dude the gameplay and graphics are typical and nothing new of Naughty Dog polish, but the most INTEGRAL part of TLOU1 was the gripping and touching story. TLOU2 had a messy, silly and quite frankly convoluted story with countless flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks.

    I can't count how many times the game should have ended. I was so tired of the screen going black and then seeing hulk hogan still standing there in 3rd person. Let me play as ELLIE the character I have bonded with. No matter what kind of sob story you throw at me for Abby I will NEVER forgive her for clubbing JOEL. JOEL THE MOST BADASS MAN TO LIVE. She came out of nowhere and took a fat dump on the storytelling legacy that is TLOU.

    To all those praising the gameplay, it's typical naughtydog gameplay, truly nothing was really changed. The graphics, yes it's stunning, omg the hair moves like real life!!! THE LEAVES MOVE 10/10 GAME!!!!! it's gorgeous blah blah blah but the writing is horrendous and feels like Neil Druckman's WattPad fanfic. TLOU1 made me cry 3 seperate times. So did TLOU2 after the 11th ending, i was sobbing wanting to be freed from the convoluted time loop story telling.

    There is a wonderful line connecting this game start to finish - an aging man years ago lost everything, including his teenage daughter who was killed, gets to relive fatherhood feelings while having to take care of and protect the girl he has to take across the country. The storyline if modified is probably worth a movie at some point down the road, but as far as gameplay it gets repetitive and old very fast - you run around, collect items, shoot and kill zombies, infected, military, etc.. while going from point A to point B in a predefined path. There is no open world concept really, it is almost like you are playing a on-rails-shooter with some degree of flexibility how to kill your enemies. It gets boring, the level of complexity in "puzzle solving" is sad, and is better left to 1st graders (Don't, because it is not a game for kids...), lack of different paths in gameplay, or decision-consequence in the game is an eye-sore. Some tasks could be time-limited, outcomes of your "faith" or difficulty of the path chosen may depend on which door you open, which path you take around city/your surroundings, items found, information you collect could depend on "friends" (and there are not many...) you make, there is so much more that could have been done to make game interesting.

    It is visually beautiful, story is good, but that is where it ends. I am torn, to give it better or worse rating, because there are worse games that get better ratings, but to be fair, 6 is just about right given high expectations and hype that is created. I want to be surprised by the game in a positive way to give it a 9 or 10.

    Gameplay: 4/10
    Visuals: 9/10
    Story: 10/10
    Quality: 9/10
    Overall: 6/10

    It’s an understatement to say that TLOU: Remastered is well made. It was an already magnificently produced game when it launched in June of 2013, and with this reiteration, pushed by the hardware of the Playstation 4, The Last of Us Remastered is a polished treat not to be missed by Sony newcomers and people in general who’ve not played the game and own a PS4. Being a Sony newcomer myself,It’s an understatement to say that TLOU: Remastered is well made. It was an already magnificently produced game when it launched in June of 2013, and with this reiteration, pushed by the hardware of the Playstation 4, The Last of Us Remastered is a polished treat not to be missed by Sony newcomers and people in general who’ve not played the game and own a PS4. Being a Sony newcomer myself, this review will focus on all aspects of the game, not just the revamps.

    The setting is a post-apocalyptic world wherein the story of Joel is told, a story that covers the struggle of survival while also tackling themes of finding purpose in a world beaten by devastation. The world has been hit by a pandemic, Cordyceps, inspired by a real fungal parasite that affects several species of insects, only here it has evolved to affect humans and the effects are nothing short of lethal and terrifying. Eventually Joel and Ellie cross paths, and this will unfold a well written, beautifully performed journey that shines and stands tall in what one could consider an oversaturated ocean of post-apocalyptic tales. Naughty Dog succeeds in telling a story that, albeit unoriginal, is gripping and engrossing by developing likeable characters and an outstanding dialogue coupled with amazing voice performances. Caring about the lead characters is inevitable, and thanks to the perfect pacing of the story, one will continuously desire to see where and how their stories end.

    As a video game, TLOU provides plenty of engaging, fun action. The gameplay covers from traversing through a variety of beautifully made scenarios to shootings and crafting. This is not an FPS; the game encourages stealth, even more so in higher difficulties (which are recommendable for a higher feeling of entertainment). Ammo is scarce, melee weapons degrade with use, and enemy AI is smart by reacting to sounds—they will hold their attack if you take one hostage, and they will even attack you more ferociously if you try to fire your gun only to find out it’s empty. And those are only the human enemies. Cordyceps, though not organized, are varied and aggressive and will provide a huge challenge if unprepared. Crafting comes in handy and it cleverly encourages the player to explore the map in order to find tools to create better weapons, bombs, upgrades, and ammo. All these factors provide a tension that so rightly fits in a video game with this theme.

    Even better, the game comes packed with a multiplayer mode that works perfectly within the context of TLOU’s atmosphere. Having the player join one of two factions and using the same gameplay system of the single player experience, multiplayer becomes a strategic battle where teamwork is invaluable; going solo is not going to pay off. It also serves a purpose; matches come with challenges to achieve, furthering the journey of your faction towards salvation.

    All of this is enhanced by the power of the PS4 that makes the image look crisp and beautiful. The character and scenery models are nothing short of intricate. Better lighting and shadows, along with a more complex particle effect system give the game even better graphics. Not even the E3 demo of the original game looked this good.

    When all these aspects come together, the pinnacle of immersive experiences in video games is achieved. Owning a PS4 system is reason alone to assume TLOU Remastered is in one’s collection. It’s a game not to be missed. The Last of Us Remastered may be overhyped, but damn if it didn’t meet that hype and then some.    … Expand

    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.
