The Last of Us Remastered - PlayStation Hits (PS4)

The last time I played a video game all the way through was probably…well…come to think of it I don’t recall ever playing a video game all the way through. I have owned all of the hardware through the years, from the Master system, through Megadrive, PS1, PS2, X360 and now PS4, XONE and Switch but I’ve never been much of a gamer as such. I’ve enjoyed the odd game of Madden and that’s about it. Weird that I keep buying the consoles come to think of it! That all changed when I picked up a copy of The Last of Us on the back of the comments and reviews right here on Amazon. The game has left such an impression on me that I have gone on to purchase a number of games, and at the grand old age of 37 have found myself a new hobby which I just can’t leave alone. The most important aspect for allowing myself to become immersed in a game was the accessibility level. In the past when I have tried games I have gotten bored very easily as I am simply rubbish at solving puzzles, knowing where to go etc. In short, I am just not very good at playing games. What I liked about the Last of Us was that it was easy for an amateur like myself to pick up and learn the ropes. And because it relies so much on taking your time, assessing the situation and applying stealth, it allows you go at your own pace. When I try to play a game like, for instance GTA5, you need to go at pace and thus it shows up the shortcomings in my style. The Last of Us is perfect in the way it allows you into the seams of the story. And let’s face it, the story is a barn-burner. It is cinematic in style and execution. Everything from the character arcs to the sound design to the player mechanics makes you think you are watching a Hollywood blockbuster. You will feel like you are part of Joel and Ellie’s story. Don’t get me wrong through, even on the easiest settings (which of course I played) together with auto-locking turned on, this is no easy game. And I apologise to no one for playing along with BKStunt’s excellent video walkthrough on GameFAQs.com. Without his guiding hand I would never have completed the game. But I did complete it and I enjoyed every minute of it. And I was sad when the end credits rolled and I knew that I wasn’t going to see Ellie and Joel again (until the long awaited sequel that is.) The disc comes with the only single player DLC included, Left Behind. This was a nice way to extend our time with Ellie for a couple of hours but is by no means essential. Make sure you play it after completing the main game though, even though it is a prequel of sorts. If you are like me and are looking for a narrative-lead action thriller to spend 20 or so hours with then you could do a lot worse than pick up The Last of Us. Granted, I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I can’t believe that any game I will ever play in the future will be as good as this.

I've never been much of a PS gamer, had my Xbox for years and with Game Pass and all the other benefits, I doubt I'll ever change. That being said, I got a PS4 about a year ago from a friend who was looking to upgrade to a PS5. He let me have it for a decent price on the condition I actually gave it a go. Ended up putting it in our bedroom and the wife used it more than I did! She bought herself the full VR setup along with the Sackboy game which I had to sit through hours watching her walk into walls and get everything wrong 🙃 For Xmas last year, she bought me the Spiderman game as she knew I'd always wanted to play it but couldn't with it being a PS exclusive. That game was the 1st game in years I went through with the aim of 100% everything. Almost did it too. Then came along the gamechanger. My Alexa recommended it to me out of the blue one day as it was on sale for peanuts. Like Spiderman, it was one of those games I'd wanted to try but just never bothered so thought why not. I am so glad I did. Its an old game but I won't include spoilers just incase anyone, like me, has stumbled on it by chance as that would just take away from the story - and what a story! From beginning to end, I was hooked. I've been a gamer since I was a kid and between this and Spiderman I feel I've experienced 2 of the best games I've ever played. Yes, EVER! I got the remastered version for the PS4 and am seriously considering getting a PS5 so I can try out the new remaster too its that good! I've recently bought TLOU2 and am about half way through that. It's good, much bigger but with the changes made, I feel TLOU1 slightly edges it in terms of quality abs experience. It's hard to catch lightning in a bottle once, nevermind twice but kudos to Naughty Dog for doing such a world class job. It's hard to write a review where you can't say too much so I'll close on this. Play this game, enjoy this game and explore everything to the finest detail to appreciate the effort put into its design. It's not often a game (if ever) has really got me emotionally but this did. An absolute masterpiece!

This game series is my daughter's favorite. I was happy to receive it before Christmas so she could enjoy it 😁

My favourite video game of all time

No es una opinión sobre el juego en si. El juego es por supuesto una obra maestra y lo recomiendo a todos. Quiero advertir a los que buscan una versión UK como yo. La versión UK (del Reino Unido) viene con 3 idiomas: Ingles, Polaco y Ruso. Yo necesito esta versión porque tiene mi idioma que es Ruso. Yo compre del vendedor GameWizard UK y recibí una versión con 4 idiomas: Ingles, Francés, Portugués y Árabe. No tengo ni idea que versión puede ser pero obviamente no es la UK. Siempre preguntad a los vendedores que versión exactamente tienen. Algunos por aquí compraron versiones de América del Norte con Español Latino.

Absolute cinema.
