Loved it. Bought my P4 just to play this game. And right after I beat the game part two come out a few days after. This game is better than awesome. If you love The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2, Resident Evil 1,2,3,4,7, you will love this. It is not open world but it does have little sand boxes for you to roam around and play. You do not have to stick to the story 100% but ultimately you have to go where the game wants you to go. It's best to explore a much as you can to get the extra perks. It’s up to you if you want to be stealthy or try to be aggressive. I promise, stealth is best. Especially if you are playing on a harder game setting where items are scarce. If you are debating on buying the game you must, and you must play this one before you can play the 2nd one. Good luck!

The gameplay is tense, and just varied enough to make the adventure varied and work consistently well in multiplayer. The story here is the real draw though, and you should play it yourself to see why it is considered one of the greatest stories in video games. So many memorable moments to see, but please don't sleep on the surprisingly tense and addictive multiplayer.

The game was a great price. It has improved graphics since it has been remastered. Good story and action and enough dramatic cutscenes that it feels like being in the movie .

One of the best games ever made & most impactful on my life. Got the original PS3 version on launch day 10 years ago as well as Part II the year it came out. Already have the Remastered PS4 version as a PS+ freebie from September 2019, but bought the physical version for a friend's birthday who's seen the HBO show but never played any of them. Hope he enjoys them on a similar level as I have!

If you haven't played "The Last of Us" yet, then you haven't played the best game there is. Here's my story, I knew nothing about "The Last of Us" and it wasn't til a week after it came out for PS3 when I was in the mall at Gamestop with only $30 when someone tried to return the game there and they wouldn't take it back, so I offered the person all the money I had ($30) and they reluctantly said yes. I was excited I got a brand new game for $30 but hoped it was worth it. When I got home I started playing, since then I've played through on Grounded difficulty 8 times and am still playing. This is one of those games that you'd have to be an idiot not to buy! If you haven't seen anything about this game yet then don't search anything up, just take a chance and buy it, then you can have no idea what your in for (like I was) and be totally blown away by how amazing it is!
Yes I would recommend this game! I wouldn't even keep my PS4 if it wasn't for this game!

I skipped out on the PlayStation 4 during the 8th generation, and I recently purchased a PS5 to go alongside my Xbox Series X so I purchased most of the exclusives on the PlayStation brand and wow!
These games are great! You have to give The Last of Us a try.

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!

A Must Play If You Missed it on PS3

This honestly might be the best game I've ever played.
I know a lot of people have heard that before, but I believe this is the complete package. It seriously gives HL2 & Bioshock (my 2 other personal favorites) a run for their money. It's nothing we haven't seen before in terms of mechanics/innovation but the story makes you forget about all that. It makes you believe. It makes you feel.
Without spoiling anything it's essentially a Walking Dead/Survival Horror type story that plays like a perfect mix of Red Dead Redemption/Uncharted/Tomb Raider (from the makers of Uncharted, obviously) with a nice balance of story & 3rd person cover shooting.
The story itself I can't say much about other than it's seriously awesome :) It will take you on one of the best journeys you'll play all year. That's all I want to say (DON"T READ MUCH ELSE BE AWARE OF SPOILERS!)
Where this review gets my maximum praise though is for it's multuiplayer effort which gets seriously overlooked. I consider myself a hardcore MP gamer (with a heavy SOCOM, CS, Halo background) and this is the best entry since some of those games. A hardcore TPS with heavy cover aspects that also incorporates the scavaging/mending aspects from single player. With smaller teams it's the perfect blend of nail bitting edge of your seat action.
I'm guessing the game also comes with all DLC released which at a discounted rate makes this the entire package. A must buy for $50, and a must buy for any new PS4 owners

The Last of Us was one of the best games of the last generation of consoles. It pushed the PS3 to it's absolute limits graphically and looked astounding, had one of, if not the best story line I've ever encountered in a game, and had an addicting multiplayer. The PS4 version takes everything great about its PS3 predecessor and ups the ante. Not only are the graphics improved, but it runs at a fluidly beautiful 60 frames per second. Just to make sure you didn't forget about the graphics, they also added photo mode, a gameplay capture system that freezes the environment and allows you to take screenshots from all possible angles and includes a filter option. The other thing that makes this a deal breaker is that it comes with the DLC, Left Behind, at no extra cost. The Last of Us Remastered is a perfect game that is invariably worth $60.

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!

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.
