My Review of The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4.

Last of Us is another game in a long list that has been remastered and brought to the Playstation 4.
Last of Us bares little resemblance to Naughty Dogs other famed series, Uncharted. Uncharted is an Indiana Jones style action game, while Last of Us is a truly dark tale of survival in a post apocalyptic world ravaged by disease, desperation, suffering and human selfishness

Last of Us tells the tale of Joel and Ellie who are survivors of a fungal outbreak called Cordyceps (transmitted by bite) that turns infected humans into cannibalistic monsters.

It is important to note that the first few hours of Last of Us start out a bit slow.It isn't until you hit the two hour mark that the game's story really takes off.

Desperation is a theme that’s found throughout Last of Us level design. Where Uncharted threw you in levels full of ammunition and weapons, Last of Us does the complete opposite. Ammo and weapons are few and far between and stealth is the encouraged path for most of the game.

A big chunk of Last of Us weapons come from your crafting your own weapons based on what you find lying around in the environment. I almost felt like McGiver in some parts of the game crafting health kits, bombs and grenades during the heat of the battle.The weapon crafting is all done in real time so I always made sure that I had my weapons crafted in the lulls between battles.

Rarely before have I ever played a game where I felt an emotional attachment towards the characters. Both Joel and Ellie are likeable characters, but at the same time flawed just as humans should be. Ellie represents the opposite of Joel’s deceased daughter who has known nothing but the outbreak her whole existence. The more intense moments are balanced perfectly by Ellie’s child like innocence when she makes small talk Joel, asking inquisitive questions about what the world was like before the infection spread.

One of the best parts of Last of Us is the pacing and variation of enemies you’ll be fighting. The enemies you’ll fight come in different shapes and sizes and include the infected and common criminals.
.
Last of Us clocks in around 12-17 hours depending on your difficulty setting. The remastered version also features single player DLC called Left Behind that was released on the PS3. Left Behind adds an additional 2-3 hours of gameplay.

My only main gripe with the gameplay is that the AI can sometimes take you out of the experience. Sometimes friendly AI would walk past enemies without the enemies reacting or noticing at all, or other times enemies would attack me even if I was further away than the friendly AI. There are also a few times where I noticed my characters clipping through walls and objects, but these were few and far between.

As if the single player and DLC wasn’t enough of a package, Last of Us also features a pretty good online multiplayer component. Comprising of three several game modes, Last of Us online component is extremely enjoyable and addictive. A lot of the great same gameplay features from the single player carry over to the multiplayer like the ability to craft weapons out of objects you find and the ability to listen through walls.

I honestly don’t know what else I can say after playing Last of Us. Had Last of Us been only a single player experience I would still feel the same way about it. It’s easily the best game I have played in the past few years and a game that every Playstation 4 owner should own if they haven’t played the PS3 verison.
