Haven't played yet but the product arrived super quick. Looking forward to playing the game and seeing how it ties in with the show

Great game. Great story that pulls at emotions. 1080P graphics take the game to another level from PS3 to PS4. Must buy for PS4 if you haven't played before. Wish there was a cheaper upgrade path since I already owned the PS3 version. Maybe isn't worth $50 for graphics upgrade, but definitely worth $30 or less if you can wait for price drops.

This is a classic game that I skipped for some reason. So glad I bought it and at an amazing price.

If you did not get a chance to play this classic during the last console generation; e.g. on the PS3, I would definitely purchase it. It is a must play. The story is similar to that in the novel "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy which centers on a father and his child attempting to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

The remastered addition is great the game is so smooth and the graphics are great

I like the story and control isn’t the ps5 console recommended !

This is a great game especially for the price. Well worth the money.

A beautifully rebuilt story with stunning visuals and emotional depth, offering an unforgettable experience—especially powerful for first-time players.

Just great! If you played it on PS3 you will love this remastered edition. For those that didn't get the opportunity to play it on PS3 you will love it! The graphics are amazing. The story line is intense and suspenseful! Worth the buy.

Great game, its a story line you will come too enjoy,unbelievable graphics and role play is cool

goated game. got it in great conditon, no tears nothing

The Last Of Us has been regarded as one of the best titles for the PS3. This remastered edition for the PlayStation 4 contains the original game and the DLC for it with enhanced graphics. As someone who never purchased the original, I decided to see what the fuss was about and can honestly say that this is a "MUST PLAY" game. I wont spoil the story at all but I can say that the characters have "life" to them and definitely keep you interested in their story. The overall feel of the game is that of survival. Instead of giving the player an endless supply of ammo and health, the game forces the player to scavenge for supplies, making every shot count and using the environment as a tactical advantage. The graphics are sharp at 1080p and all that essentially means is that it looks "real pretty". GREAT PURCHASE!!!!

bought it as a gift for my niece. she reports good graphics and easy game play. I recommend the remastered version.

The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4 is a re-release of The Last of Us for the PS3, a game which won numerous accolades when it was first released. Given that the writing and story are generally regarded as a high point for this game, I intend to make this review spoiler free. It should also be noted that this game is rated M for Mature. This game is not intended for children or individuals who are offended by gore or harsh language. TLOUR tells the story of of world where the human race is decimated by a parasitic fungal disease that causes physical disfigurement and mental deterioration. Those infected by the parasite eventually lose all sense of themselves and thereafter exist only to spread the parasite to other potential hosts. You play as Joel, who has survived some 20 years in this end of the world scenario as a smuggler of food, clothing, and other supplies. Early in the game, Joel takes on unusual job; rather than smuggling goods, he's asked to smuggle a 14 year old girl named Ellie out of the city, in which they live. In the interest of remaining spoiler free, I will say that you learn more about Ellie and Joel's histories and personalities as the game progress through cutscenes and in-game banter between the characters. You control Joel from the third person perspective as you traverse the apocalyptic landscapes, with Ellie never far behind you. Gameplay includes minor puzzle solving, such as seeing a ledge and scouring the surrounding environment to locate the equipment to reach that ledge; combat, including gunplay, melee, and stealth; and crafting, such as locating the necessary items to create first aid kits or improvised weaponry. Ellie provides assistance both in and out of combat. She may warn Joel of an enemy trying to flank him or she may attack enemies who have overtaken Joel. She will also locate and provide equipment to Joel along the way. The idea of escorting another character for the entire game, gave me pause initially, given the history of escort missions in video games. However, Ellie never felt like a burden. In your quest, you'll face off against infected humans and other survivors. Each enemy type has its own weaknesses and optimal combat strategy. For example, using your firearms may be a last resort, given that ammo is relatively uncommon and firing a weapon could draw more enemies toward you and therefore stealthily dispatching your foes one at a time, or avoiding combat altogether, may be recommended. All three strategies are satisfying and the game makes an effort to let the player to decide which works best for him or her. For my initial playthrough, I played on the Hard difficulty and, while I certainly died, I never felt as though their were any unearned deaths. I learned from each encounter and tried new strategies and equipment after each death. Now why is this called a Remaster? To start, TLOUR includes the previously downloadable-only side story called Left Behind featuring Ellie and a new female character named Riley. Riley, like Ellie, is a teenaged girl and a friend of Ellie's. Left Behind takes place during the main story of TLOUR, but also flashes back to events that occurred prior to the main story and, as such, spoils some portions of the main story and is recommended to be played after completing the main story. TLOUR also includes all of the previously released map packs for the multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode is not connected to the story and may be played without spoiling anything. The gameplay is similar to the main game, although without the puzzles. Essentially, two teams square off in arenas in attempts to kill one another. Prior to each game, you may choose your character's loadout, which include your weaponry, from pistols to rifles to shotguns, and skills, such as being able to sprint longer distances or providing improved medical treatments to your teammates. Playstation Plus is required to play online. In addition, on the technical side, TLOUR now runs at a native 1080p resolution and an unlocked 60 frames per second, which some occasional dips. More detail has been added to the environments and the characters. As a whole, the game is gorgeous on both a technical level, thanks to these improvements over the original release, and an artistic level, from iconic and sometimes hideous character designs to beautiful and frightening environments. I found TLOUR to be well worth the price of admission. The main story was engaging and well written, in my opinion, and it felt like the right length. If you're looking for solid third person gunplay, it's here. If you're looking for gratifying stealth takedowns, it's here. If you're looking for visceral melee combat, it's here. And for me, the best part was how well all three styles of gameplay complemented each other, unlike many other games where one part of the gameplay is well executed, but others are lacking. Naughty Dog, the creators of TLOUR clearly had a goal and vision and I feel that they met it and I will definitely be checking out their games in future.

This is, hands down, one of the greatest experiences I've had this generation. Story The Last of Us (TLOU) cinematic story telling can rival any movie and exceeds all expectations of a video game. It's difficult to put into words how amazing this video game is since I'm still in awe at what I just completed. This is just another zombie game, right? Wrong, this is the best story that has been written in a post-apocalyptic, zombie infested world. It has a fresh and unique take on what the world is like after society collapses which is both desperate and wondrous. This adaption is welcome in a genre that is becoming quite bloated over the past fifteen years. The dialogue exchange throughout the game develops both the main characters as well as those you briefly interact with. You become emotionally invested in this video game within the first three minutes and that emotion grows as you move through the game. The voice acting is top notch and delivers the dialogue wonderfully as the characters feel like real people. The writing is pitch-perfect and does wonders for the character development. You feel yourself rooting for Joel and Ellie because you have fallen in love with them. You are attached. You want them to succeed and survive at all costs. The entire time you find yourself struggling to be optimistic and a positive ending seems bleak. The trials you face are intense and the environment projects a sense of hopelessness. The ending is both sad, and fully satisfying. Gameplay It's awesome. You're never too powerful. You will find yourself wisely using your ammunition and strategically dispatching your foes just to survive. Going in guns blazing? Good luck with that! You have to play somewhat smart and patiently or you will wind up frustrated. The strategy makes your efforts much more fulfilling when you successfully pass a difficult area. It also makes you appreciate the slow parts of the game when you are simply taking in the atmosphere. The quiet times are a welcome break and you are fearful of any encounters that may come because you are susceptible to death easily. The combat is rewarding. The headshots are not easy, especially with a bow. Remaining in stealth is extremely trying as both humans and zombies path all around you. Each stealth kill performed puts you in potential danger and you feel that urgency. I cannot wait to play this again on a harder difficulty because "normal" was challenging and rewarding. The escalation in the challenge will correlate with the sense of reward. Graphics The environment of this game is beautiful, even the areas that are eerie. The level design is so well done. It's a linear game, but most of the time it doesn't feel like it. The game smartly paths you where you need to go, but at the same time you feel like you have a choice to go somewhere else if you wanted to. The deteriorating environment makes the funneled travel believable, and it's also gorgeous. The level of detail in this game is insane! The environment, although having a sense of death and rot, is brilliant with life. This is easily the best level design I've ever seen in a game. It's a linear game that feels like an open world that you are just trapped in and you are trying to get out. Overall I heard all the praise this game received, having not played it for the PS3. I heard all of the hype. Even with these absurdly high expectations I had for this game, it did not disappoint one bit. I had no idea anything like this was even possible! Naughty dog has raised the bar, not only for video games, but entertainment in general. I anticipate nothing more than this game's sequel and movie. If you are a gamer, you have to own this game. If you like post-apocalyptic scenarios, you have to play this game or watch someone else play it. The story is so good it needs to be experienced any way possible. I cannot recommend another game as highly as I recommend The Last of Us and I've played a ton of games.

This is one of the most immersing game experiences I've ever had. I actually felt as if I had become Joel, trekking through this deadly, near hopeless world, struggling to survive for just one more day. On occasion, this level of immersion is broken, but for the most part, I truly felt like I had stepped into the shoes of the protagonist. His emotions became mine- the frustration, the elation, the horror, the desperation... and the slow, creeping pall of hopelessness in this dark, damaged earth. If you are prone to night terrors or depression, do NOT play this game, because it will alternately terrify you and make you despair for the plight of this lost world. However, if you can handle the mature subjects of the tale, you are in for a real treat, and perhaps the greatest game to ever be produced in the genre of survival horror. Yes, this game is scary, to a level I haven’t felt since the original Silent Hill on PS1. I generally felt powerless in this world and some of the enemies (primarily Clickers and Runners) make my stomach tighten with dread. If you're super hardcore, and you want a REALLY scary experience, I recommend you play on Hard difficulty for your first play-through, because the number of supplies (ammo, med kits, shivs, bombs, etc.) that are available on the Normal difficulty level are far too abundant for players who want a supreme challenge. On the subject of crafting, this is a component of the game that is easy to learn, and fun to engage in. It further puts you into the mindset of Joel, a man desperate for survival, who has learned to salvage at all available opportunities. Slowly tuning up my weapons was also a lot of fun, though Joel is but a pale imitator compared to his rival protagonists (Nathan Drake, Marcus Fenix, etc.) in other games (but this is a good thing, for it feels realistic, and fits with the tone of the piece). Joel's wobbly aim, perpetual shortage of ammo, and rather sluggish speed make him feel like a real, middle-aged guy who has learned to survive in a dangerous world, not some superhuman who handles everything with grace. The stealth aspect is also handled brilliantly, and engaging in it is extremely satisfying. This stealth system is a perfect evolution of that which was established in the Metal Gear Solid series (particularly #2), utilizing a great visual cone and audio circumference for your enemies, which must be studied for vulnerabilities and exploited at every possible opportunity. Determining how to approach each new challenge (lots of trial and error will be involved), and how to successfully clear an area of enemies (generally without being detected, as ammo and health are so limited) is really fun. These challenges become "3D puzzles" in a way, as you must use your noggin to break down enemy patterns and AI reactions, with the added tension of knowing that it only takes one slip-up to result in failure - and these enemies really do make you feel the fear. Visually speaking, this game is remarkable, even by next gen standards. The improved graphics of the Remastered edition are immediately apparent to those who of us who played The Last of Us on PS3. Resolutions are incredibly detailed, but even more effective is the silky smooth frame rate. The attention to detail is simply staggering, and it all comes together to further enhance the emotional impact of this unforgettable experience. Gameplay is always more important than graphics in my book, but it certainly helps convey the emotions of the characters when everything looks this darned good. The Last of Us is like nothing else. It is, quite frankly, an exhausting experience, one that left my mind reeling with the consequences of my fascinating journey, and the unbreakable bonds I had formed with Ellie and Joel - two fictitious characters who seem unshakably real. I just can’t forget about them, and I can’t forget about what we’ve been through together. It’s not just their story, it’s OUR story. We are family, struggling to survive in a dangerous world. We are the last of us.

Bought for my son for Christmas. He loved it. 10/10

One of the greatest games ever. Highly recommended.

Games of late lack a good story. This one does not. Not only is the game play excellent, the story is engaging enough to make you keep playing for hours on end. A definite must own for the PS4.
