I can't say that it's hard to justify buying The Last of Us again, because I know that I enjoyed the original game and the Remastered edition has all the DLC that I missed the first time around.

Increased realism and immersion; Multiplayer much more accessible; All PS3 content in one package

Fake-looking blood; Sliding grapples and punches; L3 for Photo Mode

The Last of Us remains a must-play, genre-defining action survival game, and the Remastered version brings with it plentiful tweaks and additional content that make it well worth the asking price.

Powerful; mature storytelling; Intelligent; ultra-versatile combat; Jaw-dropping visuals--even more so on PS4; Great multiplayer modes

The steep learning curve early on

Naughty Dog, the Sony-exclusive development house behind the Uncharted, Crash Bandicoot, and Jax and Daxter series, has created what many have hailed as "the last great PlayStation 3 game.

Excellent graphics that could pass as a next-gen title; Emotion-stirring story; Brutal combat

The game sometimes telegraphs enemy encounters; Ho-hum puzzles

That's right warning foreword, a The Last Of Us is an amazing game. In my game of the year columns for 2013, I believe I said it was "the most important game of the generation". I don't usually say this, but I'm not wrong. Naughty Dog achieved astounding things in video game storytelling.

Emotional Short Story; Excellent Gameplay

If Only There Were More

The Last of Us is a great game that blends a superb story with gameplay that hits almost all of the right goals. Had it not been for the AI and the somewhat superfluous multiplayer, the game would be more than worthy of a maximum grade.

+Impressive story with believable characters; +Lots of varied locations; +Big emphasis on survival and crafting

-AI issues; -Superfluous multiplayer; -Low-res textures

Opening with one of the most captivating introduction sequences I have ever experienced in a videogame, The Last of Us starts up by taking your breath away and seldom stops. Joel, a father and a wanderer finds himself in a world succumbing to a unique type of zombie apocalypse.

Gripping storyline from beginning to end; gritty, realistic combat; strong character development

Platforming is relatively limited; small number of enemy types

Cela se constate dès les premiers instants de jeu : The Last of Us est une réussite graphique. Encore plus fin qu'un Uncharted, le nouveau né de Naughty Dog propose une véritable pâte artistique de chaque instant, confirmant le travail minutieux effectué au niveau des décors, proposant une...

Réalisation graphique et sonore impeccable; Duo de héros très charismatiques; Scénario de qualit; Très immersif; Bonne durée de vie; Prise en main confortable

Intelligence artificielle encore légèrement perfectible

The Last of Us comes into existence with merit before dropping into familiar pitfalls. It is this generation's representative: Expensive and glossy AAA gaming that draws itself into marketing through bloodshed whether it serves the narrative or not.

Alluring production value – Outstanding voice work – grim ambiguous ending - Apocalypse rendered without compromise

Needless multiplayer/online pass – violence trumps narrative – storytelling cliches

The Last of Us is based in a zombie universe that has been tried and tested quite a few times. It�s the package that is awesome. The disappointment I faced was that after 15 hours of playing the game I had to switch off my console and join the real world.

Great graphics; Gameplay is smooth; Voice acting is top notch; Story is worth running through more than once; Brutality in combat is great

Some textures draw in as you approach them; AI characters don�t see your comrades even if they talk; make noise or run from right in front of them

PlayStation 3 isn't only well-known for its number of exclusive games, but for the sheer number of quality exclusives. That's what makes even more impressive, because not only does it join the ranks of Uncharted, Killzone, God of War, Infamous and more, but it bests them all.

Superb storytelling; Immersive; rich environments; Stellar voice acting; sound design; Beautiful graphics; Excellent Gameplay
