The Last of US Remastered is a remastered version of the PS3 hit the Last of Us. You follow Joel as he travels across The United States of America with his companion Ellie as she is the key to finding a potential cure for the disease that has wiped out 60% of the world's population. The Last of Us was a phenomenal game. Naughty Dog did not go lazy with this port to the PS4. In this version of the Last of Us you get full 1080p and also 60 frames per second. Some of the textures are better and the lighting is just over all better. This is one of the most cinematic games out their, but it never feels as if they take the game out of your control. Being movie like but still knowing it's a game is a rarity to find in most cinematic story driven games. This is the definitive version of the Last of Us which is worth a second buy even if you bought the PS3 version of the Last of Us. What makes this version so good is that you get everything in this. All the DLCs and the multiplayer maps. Plus the upgraded graphics although The Last of Us still looks good on PS3. The story is great Naughty Dog out did themselves with the story. What sells the story is the characters. Joel and Ellie make the game's story work. You see their fight against the post-apocalyptic world while developing a father daughter type of relationship. The games' prologue is a gut wrencher. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson bring the characters to life. The Last of Us has some of the best voice acting in gaming. The gameplay keeps to the world as ammo and resources are limited. This makes for fun and tense combat, it makes the stealth in the game a useful play style as young waste less resources. Hand to hand is one the best in a non fighting game with you feeling every punch and crack. The gun play is also great because you must make every shot count. The game doesn't give you an abundance of ammo unless you put it on easy. The sounds and soundtrack are also worth a mention. Gustavo Sandoval's orginal soundtrack definitely fits the world and fits in its atmosphere. The sounds are also amazing as you hear the infected and their grueling sounds. Multiplayer returns in this remastered version. It's still the same old fun that the old version was but better. The 60 frames per second just helps the gameplay feel smoother. I really didn't like the Last of Us' multiplayer when I first played but playing on the PS4 made me scold myself for being stupid. The Last of Us is truly something special in a market oversaturated with countless of games, movies, and TV shows. The Last of Us still manages to maintain its own identity and refrain from being another cliché zombie title. Visiting it a second time I could see why the game won all the praise and awards it did. The Last of Us is still a masterpiece and I hope to see more of this world. The Last of Us is about 14-15 hour to complete and plus another 2 with the DLC story Left Behind. Well worth full price The Last of Us is truly a system seller.
