This game is emotionally draining, never letting up, adding different aspects of gameplay that have never been experienced before. Every element of this game is absolutely flawless. The story is entertaining and thrilling while also emotionally investing. The characters are engaging and their stories are so emotionally connecting, their motivations draw you in. It has such huge payoff amidst all of the turmoil and all of the sadness. The controls are fluent and realistic, and the item salvaging is simple and effective. Even after finishing the game you can replay on game plus, advancing from the beginning with all of your upgrades, but with much higher difficulty. This and the great multiplayer mode could make this game the most played of 2013′s summer. This game is simply one of gaming’s all-time greatest achievements on every front. As for me, it is, and I do not say this lightly, the greatest game I have every played. And it’s a Playstation 3 exclusive.

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
Even though Kotaku and IGN spoiled the game for me I'm still loving every minute of it! Really tense game you should play this game with a pair of headphones :)
Woot woot! The internet is running out of 10's and 5's to throw at this game!
A third of the Graphics section involves discussion of sound. Why not actually have a Audio segment in the review considering that's one of the most outstanding aspects of this game?
The audio of The Last of Us is among the best I've ever heard, and I have a Marantz/ Polk 7.1 home theater setup and a fairly high end PC. If I had to pick the most technically impressive aspect of an existing console game, the audio of The Last of Us would probably be what I'd choose.
