I like the story and the graphics are nicely done. The game plays like a movie that instead of just watching, you actually participate in. It is a touching and immersive experience. The characters take you on a roller coaster ride of emotion drawing you in and awakening within you, your own mortality and humanity. It highlights the challenge of regulating and handling life as it unfolds while drawing on experiences and lessons of ones past. One cannot help but sympathize and wonder how and what we might do, or how we might react if it were us in similar plight. That being said, it would have been nice if there were alternate scenarios that open up while playing based upon choices or decisions that would impact what happened next in the game. The game has a linear story line with regard to the fact that it has one set story that doesn't deviate much. Every time you play it, it will follow the same path, pretty much with the same outcome. True, you can skip by some things, but that actually diminishes the game experience. I would have liked to have been given the choice to choose between alternatives that change the plot, characters you meet, travel with, types of challenges you run up against and final outcome of the game. Doing so would keep me coming back to discover how those alternate, exciting challenging and adventurous stories might play out. Regardless, I thought the game was good and I would recommend it to others who might not simply like to watch a movie, but instead, star in it and direct it to a small degree also.Read full review

i used to love to play multiplayer first person shooter games when I was younger but now that I am 59 I like a more relaxed pace with games like The Last Of Us, Fallout 4, Witcher and occasional high action like Need For Speed. I am a guy who never really grew up and will always be a kid at heart. Besides I need something to pass my time in retirement. With "The Last of Us" it does get very intense when you have to battle but good breaks in between. The Graphics are good and the emotion you feel for your friends in the fight keeps me engaged and wanting to help. Very well thought out game. I finished the game in three days and finished others like Uncharted is the same amount of time but felt like it would be great to continue. There is however bonus episode to continue fighting for survival in "The Last of Us". Fallout 4 so far has been my favorite but this one comes in near the top and the price just can't be beat. Great value. I will look for Naughty Dog games from now on. Warning: I don't think this game is for young kids as some graphics are explicit. I would definitely purchase this game again.Read full review

Not sure when I bought this game - whenever it first came out. The characters are quite believable. The story is a bit out there, but I guess I wouldn't like it as much otherwise. A few of the ones you get endeared to don't make the end of the game, but again, it makes it more realistic. There are a couple of good-guy/bad-guy fights that are quite difficult to complete. I'm sure the youngsters will disagree, but they were for me. I had to google a couple times to find out the 'secret' to getting past a scene a few times. Even then, I got 'killed' more than once each time before I stumbled my way through. The graphics are very good. smooth movement and no blurring. There are a few beautiful scenes, I won't say where and ruin it. The animals are extremely realistic as well. I loved the horses. I remembered this game recently and repurchased it. I have since decided to keep all my Xbox and PS4 games. If decide to play them again in the future, I won't have to pay again. Plus, selling one gets you only a fraction of what you paid. I usually insist on me games being new, unopened. I decided to try buying this one used, via eBay. Glad I did, it works fine and there's always the ebay guarantee. The title infers it, but in case - this is a post-apocalyptic genre. There are several major areas in the game to work your way through. City, country, small town etc. All fun.Read full review

This is an extremely immersive story, although I'm very new to the PlayStation Gamingcommunity this is one of the few games that have and will always leave a lasting impression on me. Although some may argue that it may actually be an interactive movie I would have to disagree 90% of the time, The action scenes, the emotional seems, it has you involved in every single step of the story making it feel more than just something for your viewing pleasure in shorts, a masterpiece.
