I started off a bit underwhelmed by the game after all the hype & reviews, but the game won me over. Great story, gameplay & characters throughout. Ignore the hype & play it for yourself.

If you've heard about The Last of Us, then you know "masterpiece" is a word you frequently find mentioned in its vicinity. People might criticize it for being too "movie"-ey, and they might be right. This isn't Metal Gear Solid or Dark Souls III. Just as this is not Beyond: Two Souls either.

Great game that will have you not wanting to put that controller down until it's done. Each passing moment has you on the edge of your seat.

This game is everything they say and more. It is an absolute marvel, the story is incredibly engaging, the combat is addictively brutal, and the entirety of the piece is an unstoppable, enthralling force of high tension, drama, and horror. You will NOT be disappointed!

There are games that define a generation and they typically come at the end of the product lifecycle. They stand out as pushing the hardware beyond anything we'd seen prior and they have storylines that you'll remember for all time.

Multiplayer is not tacked-on – it's well worth playing, Storyline is shockingly engaging; I felt very invested in the narrative, Great mileage on this title – roughly 16-18 hours for single player, Award-deserving audio across the board.

Subtitles can be spastic; throwing multiple conversations together; Occasionally; friendly AI does some VERY unstealthy things; One failed trigger point required a restart of the area; Handful of non-intrusive Havok engine hiccups; Some puzzles have secondary solutions; but most are linear

Post-apocalyptic stories have always been around, though with the popularity of TV shows such as The Walking Dead and films such as I Am Legend, it seems like the genre is going through a resurgence in recent years.

Well crafted story and characters; Satisfying third person gameplay with the right dose of action

Enemies' listening abilities are not consistent throughout the game; Game's story and setting initially relies on too many genre tropes

The Last Of Us will go down as one of the best survival games made, and probably one of the best games of the generation. It's not perfect, but it does so much right it challenging the player to make important decisions, always burdened with the consequence of death.

+ Strong; powerful tale; + Stunning presentation; + Brutality of a dying world

- Frequent checkpoints limit consequence

Perhaps the best thing about reaching the end of a console's life-cycle, as we are doing with the PS3, is that some of the best games are released in this period. When you look at the pedigree of the team behind

While odd clipping problems and particular invisible walls are forgivable, the various AI fails are harder to excuse. Enemies seemingly treat your companions as ghosts, not seeing them in sneaking situations, which means that you're not screaming at friendly AI for giving away your position, but it...

Apart from a few comparatively small issues, The Last of Us stands up as one of the best games on PS3.
