The Last of Us multiplayer is remarkably fun.

I played through two journeys, one as a Hunter and one as a Firefly.

I played a lot with my VGC mates Dukerx and Andrespetmonkey. To have a good team which plays together is the key to win. I enjoyed it a lot more with some buddies than playing alone.

It is indeed slow paced but everything is balanced very well and patience and skill are equally rewarding.
I suggest you give it a couple hours if you didn't like your first 1-2 matches. It'll be worth it.
