nboldock 3rd Dec 2016 |  | Video GameThe Last Of Us Remastered - Naughty Dog (2014) | ReviewQuite simply the best game I've ever played. It looks brilliant, it plays brilliant, it's thoroughly gripping and the cut scenes, voice acting and storyline are as good as any movie you care to name. The characters are well defined, with proper depth, and if you're not absolutely rooting for them by the end of the story (and I've finished the game, which is very rare, as I hardly ever complete a game) then you've got a heart of stone. Totally immersive game play. So good I actually started again from the beginning once I'd completed it.
It's also a good challenge, most of it can be got through reasonably easily but there are a few parts of the game which took me umpteen attempts to progress past it's a good mix of nice easy bits and some bloody hard bits. But you won't give up... cos otherwise you wouldn't find out what happens next!
Gaming perfection. Eleven out of ten.
A second game is reportedly in the pipeline although quite when it will appear is anyone's guess. There has also been talk of a movie but personally I think that would be a cheap cash-in - and the game is as good as a movie anyway. It has action, it has pathos, it has genuinely emotional moments - I won't spoil it but the end of the opening scene almost genuinely had me reaching for the tissues - it's heartbreaking, and brilliantly done. Powerful stuff, I can't praise this game enough. It's the absolute pinnacle.
Go Ellie!
