The Last of Us (Remastered) review

The Last of Us is great, to say the least. It is an unforgettable masterpiece of a game, with a truly beautiful setting, that shows hopelessness in a way unlike any other. The world is filled with overgrowth of plants, detailed walls and streets, and amazing character design. The presentation is captivating. He grabs your arms and pulls you to the edge of your seat.

Naughty Dog doesn’t disappoint with, without a doubt, the best game they’ve ever made, and that’s saying a lot. If Uncharted 2 set the bar, The Last of Us jumped six feet above. The Last of Us was a fire that burns and will burn as long as there is a little spark. The Last of Us had high expectations starting with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, but in that time, gamers have had the chance to see Naughty Dog evolve and grow. And we’re so glad they did.

This game tells stories at its best with Neil Drukkman and Bruce Stratley taking control of this project. The less you know about this game, the better. If I were you, I wouldn’t even watch the trailers. In short, a man is hired to deliver a package to the Fireflies, a group of survivors trying to change the world. The package, however, is a girl. Joel and Ellie must take a trip across the country to get Ellie delivered to the fireflies. That’s all I can say about the story.

The gameplay, last but not least, is also amazing. It can be difficult and even frustrating at times, but that’s the beauty of it. Everything is worth it. You as a player want to go through hell just to see a conversation between Joel and Ellie. The shooting mechanics are excellent, as are the hide and seek and cat and mouse tactics. Health is hard to come by as you need to obtain the necessary materials to craft a health kit. However, everything happens in real time, so you can’t be in the middle of the bullets entering your body to stop the action and use your health kit. You must find cover or be invisible to enemies. Enemies now include the terrifying clickers (infected blind but highly hearing), runners (infected fast but deaf), humans and more. In short, The Last of Us is a must buy. I would recommend it to anyone I know.
