    I bought a ps4 just for this game, after watching demos and reviews I gave in. I can say quite happily that it was worth it, I loved everything about this game and it was entertaining enough that my partner watched me play through it. I strongly recommend this to anyone that likes a bit of everything in their game.

    As for the game The Last Of Us, my impressions are very positive.

I lowered the game by one point estimate for a fairly controversial ending in terms of "good" humanity, if it can be called so, and some strange moments in the game that you can just "run". As for the version for next-generation consoles, it is awesome. Fps consistently high, graphics and textures are on a very good level. Overall: great remake of one of the best exclusives of the past generation, and certainly the game, which can not be passed by anyone, ever. Ranked # 9 of 10. Expand

    The Last of Us: Remastered returns with one Naughty Dog’s most critically acclaimed titles in beautiful 1080p with included DLC. But, does The Last of Us: Remastered warrant purchase on Sony’s next-generation, or was it best left untouched and in the past?

    While I never experienced The Last of Us on PS3, I was able to spend about 100+ playing The Last of Us: Remastered on PS4 in both singleplayer and multiplayer game modes. The Last of Us: Remastered is one of the most brilliant singleplayer stories ever created, and despite being set in an already overpopulated post-apocalyptic survival genre, does an excellent job of distinguishing itself as a truly remarkable title. The singleplayer story will have you on the edge of your seat throughout its entirety as Naughty Dog puts you through an emotional rollercoaster of events set in the not so distant future. Threats lie around every corner, and you will be challenged on even the easiest of difficulty settings. However, while The Last of Us: Remastered delivers an exceptional experience in terms of its singleplayer, the same cannot be said for the multiplayer. While the multiplayer gametypes deliver a rather refreshing and unique variant on the third person shooter, they fail to provide what could have been a defining feature of the title. The multiplayer component of the game is plagued by network issues, incomplete balancing, and DLC pay-to-win microtransactions that prevent players from enjoying the multiplayer as it could have been. However, the shortcomings of The Last of Us: Remastered multiplayer should not prevent anyone from purchasing it, as the game is truly a testament to what singleplayer should be in videogames. Naughty Dog truly delivered one of the most influential and memorable gaming experiences, and I hope that this IP becomes one of Naught Dog’s flagship franchises alongside the Uncharted series. If you have already played The Last of Us on PS3, you might want to pass on the Remastered version, but if you have never played the title, I highly recommend you make this part of your collection.

The only thing I don't like about the game is the AI system. The AI is extremely clunky at times, sometimes they don't know where you are at, stuck near a wall and stuff like that. The enemy AI is quite dumb, even on HARD mode. They also have the same problem with the allies, too, some of which that could spoil the whole game. Stealth still okay at least. Without the AI problems, it would have been a perfect game, but still, if you want to get red eyes (good thing) when you see the graphics, i have to recommend this game for you, even when you have played the original. This game will have you saying " WOW LUK AT DEM GRAFIKS M9!!!!" for hours to come. Conclusion: BUY. Expand

    The Last of Us Remastered is the best game I have ever experienced, and no doubt in my mind the best game out on the Ps4 right now. The plot is beautifully put together, and the graphics match that beauty. This game truly is an experience all gamers must have and in my eyes, passes up many of the other Big Name games on Ps4 such as GTA 5. All in all, definitely worth the $50.

And if you did not purchase the original, i cannot stress enough that you must purchase this game, with all the DLC like the amazing "Left Behind" single player DLC added in for no extra fee it's a must have for anyone who did not purchase the PlayStation 3 version.

    What I loved about this game, is that your just a regular person trying to get through (that and some not-to-over-the-top climbing abilities). The story is really intense, even in the late/end game when they switch things around, it still holds together really well. It never drops pace.

    The multiplayer to me wasn't as fun as the story, but that doesn't mean it was bad. I just wouldn't play it and I dont think this game even needs a multiplayer to be a success.

One of the few games that I have actually emotionally vested in and one of the few games that I truly felt satisfied after completion.

    The Last of Us is quite simply the best game I have ever played and I've been an avid gamer since I was a kid in the 90's. I'll break up my review into three parts - game play, story and graphics.

    Game play - combat is TENSE. Running through guns blazing can result in a swift death and not to mention a loss of valuable ammunition and supplies. The Last of Us is all about survival; resources are scarce and every time you fire off a bullet you are making yourself that little bit more vulnerable in the long run. Sneaking is the preferred tactic of choice but ND do enough to keep the pace of encounters varied and exciting, often requiring to switch between stealth and aggression at the right moments. There is also a crafting system allowing Joel to keep stock of useful items like Molotov cocktails, smoke grenades and med kits. You are also able to upgrade your weapons as the game progresses, however as always supplies are limited and you won't be able to max everything out on your first play through.

    Story - this is where The Last of Us truly shines. The story, script and characters are masterfully woven into an experience that will resonate with you long after the credits stop rolling. There is real tragedy in this dark post-apocalyptic world and that pain is clearly reflected in Joel's character, set 20 years after the games initial prologue. Perhaps the most touching aspect to the story is the bond developed between Ellie and Joel and the way in which his character slowly comes to life as each chapter progresses. Ultimately this is a story of hope and second chances despite the world being in stark contrast.

    Graphics - stunning, beautiful and full of detail. The remastered version definitely delivers in this aspect. There's not much needed to be said here - just look at the videos and screenshots and you'll know it looks gorgeous.

    Overall this is a 10/10 masterpiece of a game and if you haven't yet played it I would seriously question your life choices.

    I never played the original game because I don't own a PS3 so I knew I'd be getting this game for the PS4. If you've already played TLOU on the PS3, this game likely isn't enough incentive to buy it again, although it does include a higher frame rate and resolution as well as 2 multiplayer map packs and a single player DLC (Left Behind).

    As for single player, it's great. The environment is always detailed and beautiful and the combat is always intense. You won't just be fighting variations of the berserk infected but other survivors as well, mostly ones who want to kill you for your supplies. You can craft various items such as Molotov cocktails and health items as well as swallow pills to upgrade different abilities and use miscellaneous parts to upgrade your variety of firearms. On top of the gameplay is the emotional story which involves a harsh middle-aged man escorting and eventually bonding with a young girl of 14. The game is great from start to finish but not quite the masterpiece it's made out to be.
    Lastly, there's multiplayer which is a fun extra but not fantastic in my opinion. There are three modes as well as custom loadouts and characters. Again, it's fun, but play this game for its single player.

For once I didnt feel like some overpowered superhero that could kill hundreds of infected without breaking a sweat like most post-apocalyptic games. Instead, on the hardest difficulties, I had to plan my approaches, scavenge and craft my way through and pick my battles. Gameplay mechanics work well although some stealth sections can feel slightly repetitive but a great balance between these sections and action packed shoot-outs make them bearable. Multiplayer requires team based coordination and strategy that is refreshing from most 'lone wolf' all guns blazing style multiplayers that crowd the market. However, matches do tend to become one sided if someone decides to go it alone and ends up getting killed or if someone goes AFK.

    In conclusion, there is no doubt this game is a 'must have'. Those which have played this game before on PS3 wont find anything new or exciting, but if you're new to playstation or didnt buy the game for the PS3 now is the time to get it, you will not regret it.

    In this game you get involved with the characters and the story. It's a movie with a great gameplay (different to The Order 1886 which is just a movie je je). This is the future of games I believe.
    Ideal for casual users, because the duration is 8-12 hours which is ok. And the addiction the game produces is unique.

It is mind-blowing campaign as it engages you in the aftermath of the zombie breakout(the most over used cliché) which forces the people into the law of the jungle which is "only the fittest will survive" who kill each other for food and ammunition. You will be able explore those kinds of people through a protagonist who is survivor who even kills people to survive. All of the characters in the story are flawless you cannot nitpick anything about them. Eventhough the characters want the same thing( to survive) there is always something different about them which the game explores in depth. The only thing I thought the story could improve on is multiple decisions or even multiple endings if they put more time in and more effort. Eventhough they put a lot effort into this game. The game can be interactive but quite limited

    Now the actual gameplay. The gameplay does suffer a few flaws. The cons is the listen mode which you can turn off but once used its impossible not to use it again. The listen mode is basically finding where your enemies are which completely ruin the tension on finding your enemies. And killing them them in stealth very easily.But makes the game a bit strategic though. There isn't anything unique about the enemies at all but the clickers in my opinion are awesome( which is the only unique enemy). The AI can be predictable as you trace their tracks. But when it comes to your companion (yes , you will have a companion) they will actually help you defeat your enemies properly which make the game more realistic. You will also often fail due to your death or your companion's death. So in exchange for their help you will often have to help them as well. Exploration in this beautiful environment will be awarded (note-its not an open world game) as you will be given ammunition and crafting components. I found it quite addictive doing this. The ammunition is limited which makes sense since its a survival horror and a range of guns to use. There is also a crafting system which allow you to make realistic items. You can unlock new abilities as well. You can also upgrade your guns however you cannot simply press the option menu to upgrade it. Instead you have to go to specific areas where you will be able to upgrade your guns etc. In my opinion I wish this game like Dishonored have gameplay freedom where you could choose how you wanted to play since this is story-driven game. There is combat and it looks great. Every time you try to hit it someone it is always unique

    Final verdict: Outstanding story and flawless characters but with a good gameplay with a few flaws which make it less satisfying. I would have given this game a 7/10 due to the unsatisfying gameplay but I could't ignore the engaging story at all thus lead to my decision of a 8/10

    This is a masterpiece.

    If you are looking for an open world type Zombie Apocalypse then this game is not for you, but if you're looking for great gameplay married to an AMAZING story, then this one is for you.

    Also, the online multiplayer is FUN and something completely new and different.

    Buy this game. No doubt.

    Recently I bought A Playstation 4 and always wanted to play this Game since I heard all the hype and high praise of it.To be honest,I bought it new,put it on shelf and did not play it for A whole month.When I did eventually play it I have to say I was not that blown away.The first two or three hours were A bit of A grind and nothing that spectacular-basically just your standard TutorialRecently I bought A Playstation 4 and always wanted to play this Game since I heard all the hype and high praise of it.To be honest,I bought it new,put it on shelf and did not play it for A whole month.When I did eventually play it I have to say I was not that blown away.The first two or three hours were A bit of A grind and nothing that spectacular-basically just your standard Tutorial sections.

    It wasn't really until mid game where I really started to enjoy myself and I fell in A groove with it's mechanics.Speaking of which,this Game is heavily dependent on items and upgrading those items.This can be A lot of fun and encourages exploration.I was surprised there wasn't A lot of stealth aspects to the Game which is great since all I have ever seen in videos was those sections and often when I played them in the Game itself.

    The graphics are very well done and everything looks as natural and organic than any other Game I have ever seen before and the abandoned feeling rivals that of the Fallout series.The 'monsters' are nicely rendered and are scary and chilling.I think though to myself the scariest parts of this Game are the Human characters since they use strategy and effectively hunt you down as opposed to the Monsters that you can easily trick.

    The characters (without spoiling anything) are dynamic and are well thought out.You can tell A great amount of care and effort was given especially to these two characters as well as secondary characters.The dialogue sounds organic and realistic trying to copy something more closer to real life.At first these characters are people you could care less about.By the end,you are biting your nails with fear over some of the extreme situations you encounter because you care for each one of these characters.They grow through trials of hardship as certain events change their overall dynamic with one another.

    Ultimately,the end really satisfied me and made me become A convert to this series.I understood all the hype and praise and how it was justified.This wasn't A perfect Game though,the swimming was hard especially to dive.I didn't like the cover button as it was clumsy to use and didn't like what button was assigned to.I feel some weapons even when upgraded were virtually useless against Human opponents.The worst is the lack of ammo since as you pass by A lot of Military installations,There should at times should of been A small amount of stockpiles of ammunition.

    Other than these rather ultimately small gripes,this Games does gives you A lot for you money.It is A short Game and most of it is cut scenes,but when you finish all that the Game has to offer you will feel that you have experienced A great Game.If you want to play A well structured,thought out Game with care and balance to it then look no further than to The Last Of Us,You will never regret it.

    The Last of Us Remastered is a great game. Graphics are awesome, Game play is awesome. The only downside of this game for me is the story line. It started great but ended bad, although it may be a hint for a sequel that they might work in the future.

    TLOU is a work of art. From the climactic story rivaling movies and books of old, to survivalist gameplay centered around teamwork-stealth-crafting, to excellent pacing, to tremendous scenery and level design. Ever want to feel like you are truly in a game with an emotional roller coaster every step of the way, this is the game for you.

And of course for a PS3 game also the graphics. Gameplay is good as well although there should be and easier way to throw things and having a weapon at hand at the same time. What else can I say but that I love this game!

    It took my a bit more of 14 hours in easy mode searching everywhere (although I see I didn't collect everything).

    This is a game that I have been wanting to play for awhile, I bought it a few months back and then it was just sitting and collecting dust. I finally decided that I would give it a shot. The Uncharted franchise is one of my favorite franchises and I felt some internal pressure to play this game as well.

    I’m really over the whole Zombie craze and knowing the game is essentially about Zombies, I knew I would have to be in the mood to play a game like this. I am very glad that I did finally sit down and play through the game.

    The story is pretty good or at least in opinion as good as it can be when a story is written about a Zombie apocalypse. The driving force of this game are the two main characters and most importantly the development of these two characters. You have an older gentleman named Joel who goes through a traumatic event right at the start of the game and Ellie who is a young girl. She is 14 years old and has gone through her own struggles. The two start out as Strangers but as the game moves forward, the two start to develop a bond.

    I enjoyed the gameplay to an extent. The shooting is just like Uncharted, there is a lot less traversing landscapes and buildings and a lot more stealth. As I’m sure you’re aware, I’m not crazy about Stealth but this games stealth isn’t the worst thing. As long as you’re quiet you can move along and not have to worry about it too much.

    My biggest gripe about the game is, it can start to feel repetitive towards the end. There is one particular “puzzle” where you need to escort Ellie across a body of water. She is unable to swim so you need to find a wooden pallet to escort her over the water. After about the first couple times doing that, I was kind of sick of doing it. It doesn’t happen too often but maybe 3-5 times in a single playthrough.

    This is a very well made game but I do like the Uncharted series more. It comes down to personal preference but this is a darker game, it takes itself very seriously. It’s not a case where it takes itself so seriously that it has a stick up its ass but its a much more serious tone.

    It is also important to note that I played this game on easy, I don’t play linear action-adventures for a challenging experience. It’s more to sit back, play the game and really enjoy the story.

Yes, this is not Dark Souls, but for cinematic action the difficulty level is suitable. I associate myself with Joel. If you love girl like a own child, you won't let her die to save all humanity for global healing. I love this game.

    “The Last of Us” is a game developed by Naughty Dog Studios and was published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2013. In this survival horror game, you play as the character named Joel. The plot of the story is how a zombie-like virus had taken over the world and not many people are alive. The game is in third person, and has multiple features such as a “listening mode”.

The plot of the story is how a zombie-like virus had taken over the world and not many people are alive. The game is in third person, and has multiple features such as a “listening mode”. There is an online multiplayer mode for this game, but for this review I will only cover the story mode.
    At the beginning of the virus, Joel and his daughter Sarah are trying to escape, but Sarah is shot and killed from an officer since he thought she was bitten. The game fast forwards years in the future and he goes to this group called the Fireflies and he and his friend Tess need to take a teenager named Ellie to a zone where another group will pick her up. Joel and Tess learn that Ellie had been bitten, but showed no symptoms and supposedly was the “cure” to the infection. The group has to keep moving to other places since things don’t usually work out they way they want to.
    The game itself is very story driven, filled with intense cutscenes and heartwarming moments. It does a very excellent job of getting close to the characters, instead of most games where they are just space being taken up. You can during the story have some optional conversations with Ellie that might not impact the story, but can get yourself closer to the character. It breaks my heart whenever I see some close to death moments with the characters because they feel like family almost. The game is an emotional rollercoaster of emotions, going from upset to sad instantly. It was great to watch Joel and Ellie basically become father and daughter.
    The gameplay and aesthetics look amazing in this game. There is a complex crafting system where you use materials you find around to make weapons like shivs and other things like health kits and barbed baseball bats. Look wise, just watching a simple cutscene can almost look like real life, and for one of the first few Playstation 4 games, the remaster is brilliant. Everything around you yells lonely apocalypse, but still holds its own beauty. Just looking at rusted cars with flowers and moss around just looks amazing. The different locations you go to all look extremely different, from a sewer to snowy woods. The sound track for me was pretty decent, not the best but still very enjoyable. My only real issue in the game was occasionally Ellie’s AI would make her shoot a gun in stealth.
    For people that want to play this game, I would recommend being around 15 and up to play, since there are moments of extreme violence like when you die as Joel sometimes a clicker may rip your neck apart, or ripping your face apart. I would say it’s okay to play if you’re younger as long as you have an adult supervising you. This game sometimes goes extreme with things like burning, destruction of flesh, and even suicide.
    Overall, this to me is a near perfect game, since of everything like aesthetics and gameplay, as well as plot development.

The main campaign of TLOU, however, misses this feature.

For me, Indiana always triumphs over Walking Dead (the actual series is very underwhelming 7/10 for me). For this reason, I am giving this game a solid 7/10. I have marked Uncharted as 8/10.
    - Interesting and well thought out characters.
    - Good level design but somewhat linear which is expected.

    All in all, I can see why it is regarded as a classic and I did enjoy it but not as much as I expected. I had a repelling feeling about it as I bought the game and only played for the first time many months later. Each time I played it, I did so to just finish it and tick the box, but while at it I did enjoy it.
    - The game was consistent and had quite a few tense and exciting moments.

    Am I looking forward to the second instalment? Not really.

    I've been playing video games since before I went to school, so I've already been through the golden age of ZX Spectrums, 8-color games, Elite: Dangerous, followed by Doom, Quake, all the Blizzard masterpieces, then on to more modern games like Bioshock, Dead Space and Fallout.

But I can't remember another game that got me so hooked as this one here. The story is so compelling, I found myself wanting to put down the controller to get some sleep only to notice the sun rising through the window, like when I was a child and I was fighting the hordes of undead in Diablo. You just can't let go. And while the graphics aren't top notch, they are as perfect as they need to be. The faces are exceptionally expressive, there's body language, there are even muscle movements almost imperceptible if you're not looking for them, but so important in the big picture. The voice over of the characters take you inside the game and you can't help but fall in love with Joel and Ellie. This is truly a masterpiece of video games. There's no wonder it's in the top of all the game review websites. I can't wait to begin the sequel, Left Behind. Expand

The visuals are outstanding, very realistic some of the best video game visuals ever. The character and creature design are superb especially Joel and Ellie and the Clickers and Bloaters. The performances from Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker are phenomenal, they both give emotionally powerful performances that make believe that they've been through horrible things and that they have been emotionally scarred and are some of the best video games performances ever. W. Earl Brown, Annie Wersching, and Merle Dandridge give great supporting performances. The writing especially the dialogue and story are exceptional. The character development is excellent especially with Joel and Ellie. The gameplay is awesome. The music is terrific. The Last of Us is an A+ game. Expand

    The story, the way it is told, the characters, the style of Naughty Dog, the gameplay mechanics, the transition between gameplay and cinematics... man, this game is perfect.

    First, the good: Technically outstanding for being a PS3-era game, both the graphics and the animations are possibly the best that could be seen in last-gen. The soundtrack accompanies the general tone of the game very well.

    The story at first did not interest me that much, but at the end it really hook me up. Both the plot, and the characters of Ellie and Joel are well written, possibly at the level of a good TV show.

    The weak point of the game is the gameplay, it is completely forgettable. And it's not that the mechanics are broken, the problem is that it is structured in a way that it feels like a small part of the game, the story always has the focus of the devs, it feels like you're "playing" episodes of a TV show. By the end of the game, when the story has already hooked you up, playing feels like a sort of "work" just to see the story moving forward.

    I STRONGLY recommend not buying it; just borrow it, or use PSNow. It's the kind of game that after playing it one single time, you'll never touch it again. The game lives from its story and after knowing it, it loses absolutely all appeal.

    This game was a 10 on PS3 so I was pretty excited that they were bringing it to PS4. It's the same amazing experience that I remembered and the replayability is astounding. I've beaten the game three times and I'm still ready for more. The graphics and game-play are what's come to be expected from Naughty Dog (top of it's class) but the story is what puts this one over the top.

    I came back to play this again recently after being disappointed in the sequel. I thought that perhaps the nostalgia had gotten to me and made me see the original as better than it was, however I was pleasantly surprised! So here is why I find this superior to its sequel.

    Firstly, the length. This game is significantly shorter and that is a very good thing. The shorter length means very little outstays its welcome and a quality over quantity approach. The adventure is concise and well timed.

    Secondly, the story. This ties in with the length, as being shorter means there was less padding out; the plot is very well paced and concise. In addition to this - it is a simpler plot and delivered in a simple manner without recurrent flashbacks. This does mean that the plot is a bit more basic, which was the curse of the sequel where it found itself in a minefield of dealing with sensitive character development. However I really like this simplicity; Ellie is your typical adolescent and I find her far more likeable as she grapples with her relationship with Joel.

    Thirdly, the environments, which are a bit more diverse than the sequel, which limited you to mainly urban dystopia. The original allows for nice visuals and backgrounds that are part of the journey and not just a flashback.

    However some aspects of the game definitely show their age. The gameplay is rather fundamental, similar to the early Nathan Drake games. The game is linear and comes across as more like an interactive movie at some points. The gunplay in particular seems to have a mind of its own. There is a lot of repetition but the variety of environments and shorter length prevent these from being as noticeable as they were in the sequel.

    Overall, this is definitely worth revisiting after having played the sequel, especially if you were disappointed. There are some aspects that have aged, and its rather worrying how little the sequel evolved these aspects given that there is a seven year gap between them.

    The best survival horror game I have ever played, everything is flawless except well maybe the music is not really memorable enough for me, that's why I give 9/10 score.

    One of the funniest games of its generation, but a little overrated. It would be better if it had more different kinds of enemies and items. The story, though it is touching, is a little predictable.

    The Last of Us is the best game I have ever played. It is revolutionary to the gaming industry when it comes to single player narrative driven games. An absolute MASTERPIECE!

    A post-apocalyptic road trip that offers a fantastic, riveting experience, where destruction and beauty, and hope and despair, get entwined in a way that’s nothing short of genius, The Last of Us is so good that its somewhat repetitive, and occasionally dull gameplay isn’t enough to rob it of its rightful place amongst the video game greats. Therefore, if looking for an unforgettable action-adventure, with strong cinematic sensibilities, and a heavy emphasis in adult, character-driven storytelling, look no further than Naughty Dog’s classic, especially now that the remastered version has made the original even more stunning.

    Visual improvements and three included DLCs don’t justify buying this game again, but if you haven’t played it on PS3 yet, you’re in for long hours of valuable entertainment. [Sept 2014, p.59]
