Forums - Sony - The Last of Us Review: Naughty Dog has disappointed!

Heres my review for the last of us, it seems to be all the rage xD

I was a bit skeptical that it could live up to the mega hype it was getting. This is a single player review since I didn't get a chance to play multiplayer yet.

Pros:

Graphics: Goddamn ND does it again. The graphics are gorgeous, might be the best on the ps3. It is also really atmospheric. Animation is also very nice

Story: One hell of a roller coaster from start to finish. A very gripping tale told through the eyes of our two survivors Joel and Ellie.

Gameplay: All the mechanics work and function correctly. It was smooth and the gameplay was fun.

Soundtrack: Damn, enough said xD

Characters: All the character were greatly developed throughout the journey. The game made you feel for them, which is one hell of an achievement in my book.

Voice Acting: Top knotch, some of the best I've heard in a game.

Cons:

Immersion breaking: The ai companions function quite nicely, but sometimes it just breaks the immersion. They run around like crazy sometimes and enemy's totally ignore them. I can see why nd did this though, but still

Final Verdict: 9.5/10

Now you're prob wondering what the disappointment is right? It's that naughty dog hasn't announced or even teased there next title yet xD

How dare you trick me, I will get my revenge.



Good job.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Games awesome a reason to own a ps3.



I just finished it some hours ago. I played it on hard; it took me 22hrs to beat the game.

Really awesome game. Cant wait to play ND PS4 games :D

After the uncharted series and the last of us, my expectations for them is through the roof. Dammit, I have faith that they will deliver though!

The only "negative" Is that I finished the game and only got 3 trophies during all the playthrough XD

the 3rd one most probably is the hard trophy :D



Alright, so where do I disagree with you?

Graphics: Fantastic character models and environments. 3D assets are nice but show their age, especially cars, tvs and a few other objects.

Story: Fantastic. I fully agree, ND has told a dramatic story about something more than the end of the world by zombie like creatures.

Gameplay: the shooting feels more like Uncharted 1 than 2, but it's still really good. The pacing of the game does falter quite often however, turning into a walking/ looting simulator.

And so it has its cons, more than just AI that can get in the way of a kill shot.

Overall I'd still give it a 10 simply because I judge a game on how it made me feel.
