This story for this game is very good and in depth. The gameplay is just as good and this is a very unique experience. Would definitely give this game a go for anyone who has not played it.

This is the best non-sports game I have played on the PS4. The game keeps you on your toes the whole time and the storyline is awesome. I would compare this game to the show the Walking Dead.

I played this game back on PlayStation 3 and WOW!!! I have never thought or imagined a game could be more than just a game. This should definitely go in the history books of greatest game of all time as it still got everyone talking about it. The game has everything you could possibly imagine the incredible story filled with emotions and chills as you progress fighting and surviving your way makes it even more amazing that it isn't just another shooter or fighter game but it is a game that every move you make has a ripple effect. Joel and Ellie at first were 2 characters so different from each other but that blend together nailed it! I don't want to say much and spoil for those who haven't yet played the game (I don't know why you still haven't played it by now) but You get the feel of lost for Joel and the feel of family for Ellie which makes you get emotionally attached to both of them. The graphics on PS3 was the best and absolutely breathtaking of what the console could achieve in its time for the game but switch to PS4 and you will really see the amount of detail and stunning power of the current console has to offer for this game which already has been already the best on PS3. The game is a real survival game where nothing is just as simple and rationing is key to your survival and also when to use certain weapons for certain enemies made it more exciting as the decision rests on you. The fights are incredibly the best! From being able to use almost anything you can get your hands on whether it's bricks, steel pipes or good old gun fire power you always have a smile on your face after it. What I can say you can't enjoy the Part 2 without getting to experience Part 1 and form the bond with Joel and Ellie and Part 2 has got everyone on edge waiting for it. Naughty Dog has made an amazing game Thank you! and I don't think another one is yet to top this game by far!

The PS3's swan song is even better on PS4.

I first played The Last of Us when it released on the PS3 several years ago. This PS4 remaster improves on the original release in a number of ways:
- It includes the Left Behind chapter, which was a separate paid download for the PS3 version.
- The visual quality is greatly enhanced, as it runs on any PS4 at 1080P at 60 frames per second (compared to 720P and 30FPS on PS3). The texture detail and model quality are also higher. The PS4 Pro has the added options of either running the game at 1800P with the same level of detail, or 1080P with sharper shadows and fewer framerate drops. No matter what resolution you select, you also have the option to cap the framerate to 30FPS. Personally, I do not suggest enabling this.
- There is an extra difficulty mode that hides the HUD.
- The DualShock 4's lightbar changes color depending on the your character's health. A minor change you aren't likely to notice, but it's there.
Aside from the above, the game is the same as it was before. You'll still be sneaking around, scrounging for items, and getting into fights with human or infected enemies. The game can be quite stingy with ammo, so you're encouraged to avoid direct conflict as much as possible to conserve resources. As you progress, you'll find new weapons and craftable items which will increase the number of ways you can handle certain problems, but only slightly. The gameplay is still just as linear as it was on PS3, and has aged poorly in some respects, but the story has aged very little by comparison. This alone makes it worth playing through at least once.

Amazing Gaming Experience

Wow . . . I have been a gamer for over 20 years, and this is one of the best overall gaming experiences I have ever had. I played this game when it was released on the PS3, and I liked it so much that I bought it for the PS4 as well. The graphical upgrade is nice, and the game controls just as smoothly as before. The shooting mechanics can be a little shaky at times, but I think that this was incorporated into the game by design to enhance the tension. The characters you control are regular folks trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world and not trained soldiers, after all. You should not expect a Call of Duty type of experience, which would lessen the impact of this game.
In my opinion, the most impressive feature of this game is the masterfully crafted storyline. Veteran game developer Naughty Dog has a real gift for making the player genuinely care about all the characters involved. The stars of the show are Joel and Ellie, and you play as both during the game. Joel is a somewhat broken, middle-aged man who is haunted by memories of his life before civilization ended. Ellie is a teenage girl who has never known anything other than the dystopian world in which the game is set. Throughout their 10+ hour journey, the pair evolve from reluctant allies thrown together by circumstance to an inseparable duo who genuinely care for one another. Their struggles and triumphs are brought to life by the excellent voice work from Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson.
Along the way, they encounter many colorful characters, friend and foe, living and dead. The game has a perfect mixture of exciting action moments and quiet moments of reflection and exploration. There are moments that will genuinely frighten you and make your heart race, but these are balanced by moments of beauty and peace (as peaceful as one can be in such an environment).
The crafting system brings a sense of realism to the game, as it allows you to scavenge supplies to create makeshift weapons and health kits. Ammo is scarce, so you must plan your encounters with enemies carefully. Stealth is often the best way to approach situations, especially when there are clickers around.
Overall, I believe that every gamer owes it to him/herself to experience The Last of Us. It is a game that will make you think, make you feel, and have a great deal of fun as well. I know that many people debate whether video games are art. I would contend that The Last of Us is the single greatest piece of evidence that video games are indeed a legitimate form of art. The emotional impact it has on the player is equal to or greater than any big-screen blockbuster, TV show, or novel. At $20, this game is a steal. Anyone who owns a PS4 has no excuse not to own this game.

A Game for the Ages

The Last of Us ranks among the best games ever made. There I said it.
One of the enduring challenges of videogames is creating strong emotional bonds with the characters in our televisions and monitors. Throughout gaming’s early days, our motivation to care about these characters was to provide a very simple “rescue the princess” or “save the world” archetype. Rare is the game that takes what we know and manages to recontextualize and spin these tropes into something fresh. The Last of Us is one of these games.
It is 2033, twenty years after the outbreak of a virulent strain of Cordyceps which can turn humans into shambling husks known as the Infected. Humanity is barely surviving thanks to the iron grip of the military’s quarantine zones. Enter Joel, a weary veteran of this dark world. He is asked by a resistance group called the Fireflies to take a girl named Ellie across the country as a favor, and throughout the game’s fifteen hour campaign, they bond together in slow subtle ways as the journey takes the better part of a year from start to finish. Smart writing and exceptional voice acting from Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson really sells the two characters.
Naughty Dog’s presence is also felt in the gameplay, which takes many cues from the Uncharted series with third person shooting. However, Joel is quite unlike Nathan Drake, in that he cannot fire from the hip, and is quite slow and lumbering. An excellent stealth mechanic and simple yet effective crafting system round out the gameplay mechanics. Joel and Ellie will contend with both Infected and other humans in their adventure across America. Stealth here is paramount as ammunition is scarce, but Joel has an edge with a listen mode that allows him to hear the enemies at a distance. In the unlockable Survivor difficulty, this mode is turned off. An unfortunate concession to gameplay flow is that Ellie or other allied NPCs will not be detected by enemies, which can break immersion at times.
The Last of Us shines in the visual department with amazing lighting and particle effects. Character models are highly detailed, and water flows realistically. Bucking the trend of brown zombie games, Naughty Dog opted to show plants and foliage slowly reclaiming the world with shades of green saturating the screen. It’s an absolute marvel that such graphics were able to happen on seven-year old hardware.
What is most impressive is that the story combined with the very refined gameplay result in an absolutely unforgettable game. There are almost no weak parts in the story and the pacing is spot on. The Last of Us is a transcendent experience that masterfully mixes a strong story with tense gameplay. It is, without a doubt, the very best game I have ever played.

This is probably one of the most excellent games I have ever played.
The game is quite linear yet it does not feel like you are confined to a small area. Plenty of space to explore and you are going to have to in order to scavenge for supplies. Along the way, you get to experience the immersive environment of a post-apocalyptic world that almost feels too real.
The most important part of the game is the emotion you eventually invest into Joel and Ellie. By design, Joel was introduced to Ellie just like we were, and then we grew together with them during the entire game. In the end, it felt almost you were part of the story as you traverse the city, the wilderness, and lake-side park, witnessing brutality and violence, experiencing danger and brief moments of calm. You became concerned when you do not see Ellie beside you, or when you became Ellie and Joel was missing from the story. You cannot help but feel the pain, the loneliness, and the sense of dread as the game progresses, yet you look for that comfort and companionship in Ellie. There were touching moments, light-hearted moments, and tense moments. The game allows you to dictate the speed of the game and rightly so, the environment is just too big, too exquisite, too interesting to not do that. Try to stay in one place and do nothing and wait for Ellie's response. Watch Ellie do the little things: standing around, shifting her weight from side to side, occasionally tying her shoelace or just looking totally bored. Listen to her comments, and just take a moment to relish the incredible motion capture that game affords us.
Couple with the excellent soundtrack: the raindrop hitting the glass, the horse transitioning from pavement to dirt, the sound of blood splattering, and the rushing water, the unrelenting snow, and the dreary quietness of a town long gone. Just let the game sit and listen to the sound was enjoyment enough.
You cannot wait to complete the game so you can start all over again. Once you start, you cannot stop. Once you stop, you cannot but think about returning to it.
Buy it, enjoy it, then celebrate with it!!! 10/10

I recommend this game for sure! At first I wasn't sure if I would like this game or not. I watched the preview on YouTube and I wasn't really sure but I took a chance and I really love the game play and graphics. But make sure you check everything for ammo if you won't have a lot.

The campaign... the story TLOU tells us is something so touching that it will have you experiencing every God given emotion you can possibly think of from beginning to the end. The DLC included is a amazing side story with the same emotional dynamics as the main story packed all in a short extension of the campaign. “Factions” The on-line portion of this game is the best competitive multiplayer I have ever played. I know I’m just your average consumer but understandably take my words serious when I say ”the shooting and fighting mechanics/gameplay is the most fluid and smooth (bottom line the best) gameplay I have ever experienced”. When you play this game it will feel like a breath of fresh air in reference to all the new experiences you are about to embrace. EVERY aspect of this remastered edition is through the roof remarkable. As contradicting as this may sound, do not listen to people’s reviews including mine and please pick up this game with zero expectations and just discover/experience everything you could dream of in an RPG for yourself! Thankfully, we as gamers are blessed with a part 2 being released very soon. Do not make the mistake of never trying this game because of whatever excuses/biases you may have. I bought a PS4 in 2015 and this game was apart of the bundle as a digital copy and at the time I never heard of this title before. Now, as you can see this game means so much to me that I had to own a physical copy to remind myself of all the joy a video game can bring and simply have this in my collection with me forever. Pick up this game.... You’ll thank me later!
