Professional reviews from gaming critics
The Last of Us isn't just the PlayStation 3's swan song. It's the best exclusive on the console full stop.
The Last of Us is at or near the top of a very short list of must play games in 2013. It not only fulfills the expectation from Naughty Dog fans of game with a beautiful presentation and well thought out story, but its also got the gameplay that is both fun and tension filled.
Last year at E3, Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” was my undisputed most memorable game from the show. Despite not even getting my hands on the game while on the show floor, and only watching the demo from the cheap seats at the Sony E3 Press Conference where “The Last of Us” had the arena buzzing, I knew this game could be something amazing. I distinctly recall that after the demo it took me some time to process what I had seen. I was literally stunned, but in a good way as it was the last thing I expected from Naughty Dog, and hot damn it looked great. Well in the months that followed, The...

The Last of Us is a genre-defining experience that blends survival and action elements to tell a character-driven story about a population decimated by a modern plague.
The intense gameplay of The Last of Us is complimented by fantastic characters, and watching Ellie and Joel's relationship grow as the cruel world attempts to remove them from existence is something every gamer should experience.
“Uneven combat can’t take away from one of the best stories ever told in gaming.”
The Last of Us’ ending was so sacred that just the mere idea of a sequel seems sacrilegious. Ambiguity as poetic as that is woefully uncommon and a follow-up could easily dismantle that purity. Instead of letting naughty dogs lie, developer Naughty Dog decided to make the inconclusive ending more conclusive with The Last of Us 2. This remarkably ambitious sequel shares some of the qualities of its predecessor, but, much like a host fighting a fungal infection, that same ambition has also taken over and turned the game into a shambling husk of its former self.
The game had great mechanics but was just to slow for a post apocalypse style games.
Multiplayer features in The Last of Us, coming under the title “Factions” which clearly is says enough about the mission of multiplayer, you and three other team mates will fight against opposing factions, gathering supplies for your own personal faction, one lovely feature included is that each team member is given a personal goal, e.g. kill a number of guards, collect x amount of supplies. All that you’ve learnt in the campaign will prepare you perfectly for what lies ahead in factions using your arsenal of crafting, listening, stealth and gunfire. The pace is just as frantic and single play...
