Now featuring full 1080p, higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, in addition to several other gameplay improvements. 20 years after a pandemic has radically changed known civilization, infected humans run wild and survivors are killing each other for food, weapons; whatever they can get their hands on.

    The heart-rending story isn`t romanticizing nor does it drift into the pathos other, less subtle games so often lean towards. That's the line where good craftsmanship becomes art, and an excellent game.

    If you have yet to play The Last of Us, and you own a PlayStation 4, I can fully whole heartily say go buy this game, because you’re in for a memorable time. For fans, this is one you might want to pick up if you want to play the game at its best.

    One of the best titles of the previous generation is now available in all the next-gen glory and also with all the DLCs. Take it or leave it. [Issue#245]

    The Last of Us is truly the game of a generation, and the Remastered edition brings the harrowing adventure to a whole new generation with expert style.

    It's the best version available of what is arguably Playstation 3's best game and The Last Of Us remains every bit as dramatic, powerful and engaging as it was when first released. Still incredible. [Issue#247, p.59]

    Naughty Dog's masterpiece is a must have for every PS4-owner that missed the game one year ago. But if you already met Joel and Ellie on PS3, think twice.

    Except for the Left Behind DLC, none of the other additions actually add to the experience. The game is just as good as it always has been, but with improved graphics being the only real selling point, the package is not enough for a second buy.

    I dont know how I missed this game the first time around. The first time trying it I dont think I gave it a chance nor was I patient enough.I dont know how I missed this game the first time around. The first time trying it I dont think I gave it a chance nor was I patient enough. Now getting the remastered edition and having more time on my hands to enjoy what can I say other than this reminds me so much of a thriller like Manhunt back in the day. 10/10 and I haven't even seen enough of the story but the game play and mechanics are top notch!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last of Us, without a doubt, tops my list for the best game I've ever played. The game on PS3, alone, was the best, but adding it to the next-generation console made the game even better, although it seemed impossible.

    The plot itself is enough to make the game fantastic. Adding Bruce Straley's great gameplay-directing, together with Neil Druckmann's amazing story-directing, makes the game perfectly balanced between gameplay and story. This unbelievable game, even though it's known, still hasn't reached out to that many people, which is sad, because they're missing out on something that is truly life changing for hundreds of thousands people, including myself.

    "From Dreams: The Making of The Last of Us" shows the work and dedication made to make this game possible is incredible. It only goes to show how they persevered even though they faced difficulty. It also shows the actors doing their absolute best performance to make the game as good as possible, cut-scene -wise. Troy Baker (AKA Joel,) made his best performance in this given scene: When the apocalypse has just happened, he meets up with his brother Tommy, and they escape from the horde of infected. They find this military soldier who, even though he doesn't want to, shoots his daughter Sarah. The way Joel reacts is so scarily realistic, it made me cry, which is a hard thing when it comes to video games.

    As for Ashley Johnson (AKA Ellie,) made her best performance when she is in the ranch, right after she goes away from Joel, and says "Is that all they really had to worry about? Boys, movies, deciding which shirt goes with which skirt? It's bizarre." Followed by another great performance by Troy, makes the scene very emotional indeed.

    Long sentence said short, The Last of Us is a life-changing, perfect game for me. The A.I is just about perfect for the game's purpose, and has taken gaming into the next level with it's no game in the future can even compare with The Last of Us. A clear 10/10 from me.    … Expand

    I enjoyed the story greatly, the campaign is incredible, with characters you can get attached to, and a disappointment when the story ends,I enjoyed the story greatly, the campaign is incredible, with characters you can get attached to, and a disappointment when the story ends, its a solid story. But the multiplayer I was not at all fond with, if you want a solid multiplayer experience, play Uncharted 4, it has a way more better multiplayer then this. Otherwise great game!… Expand
