‎If we forget his twin brother for the PS3 for a moment, The Last of Us: Remastered is a top-notch game that should definitely not be missing from your collection of PS4 games. Is this a game to buy a PlayStation 4 for? If you haven't played the game yet, then definitely. But if you already have the PS3 version, it might be better to wait for an offer. After all, you don't pay for extra gameplay, but for a new lick of paint.‎

The visual upgrades are more modest than you might expect, but the extra definition and detail and the enhanced effects make The Last of Us even more stunning and richly cinematic, while the steady frame rate improves the gameplay. There's probably not enough of a difference to justify buying the same game twice, but if you have a PS4 and haven't played The Last of Us, then you can consider this edition a must-buy.

It's tough to recommend for PS3 players who have already played the game, as the $55 price is a bit steep for some enhanced visuals and a bit of added content. But PlayStation 4 owners who haven't yet experienced The Last of Us absolutely owe it to themselves to pick up this modern classic, and take a journey with Joel and Ellie across the heartbreakingly beautiful ruins of our world.

What was one of the best games for the PlayStation 3 is now one of the best games you can buy for the PlayStation 4. You owe it to yourself to experience this masterpiece first hand.

‎In the end, a ploy or not to patch a sparse line of software, ‎‎The Last of Us: Remastered‎‎ is a new version of one of the best titles of the previous generation and we must judge it by that and not by whether some players already finished it on another console. In this regard, I remember that as I walked through their desolation I saw here and there American flags flying in a carefree relent: there will be people, like me, who will buy this magnificent game a second time; after all, it's easier to imagine the end of the world than capitalism, I thought.‎

Simply put, The Last of Us: Remastered is just better than the PS3 version. If you are lucky enough to be experiencing The Last of Us for the first time, then you are in for an amazing treat. If you have already purchased the original game, then still consider picking this up. Heck, trade in your PS3 version if you can. This is by far the definitive version of the game, and if you can get the price reduced even a little bit it's likely worth your money.

Overall, The Last of Us Remastered is a solid title for the growing PS4 library and it's perfect for anyone who gave the game a miss last year to jump in. As for players who have already experienced the game on the PS3, I'd say this is a great opportunity to take another dive into the game's universe, especially if you loved it the first time you played it.

When I finished The Last of Us Remastered, I was reminded of the myriad feelings I had at the conclusion of the game nearly a year ago. Just like then, I put down the controller while leaning back in my seat while giving thought to the story, the characters and how I felt about what had happened. In the end I came to the same conclusion now that I did back then: I had fun with the game itself, but it was the narrative that will no doubt be what sticks with me for some time.

The bottom line is, I thought this game was very much worthwhile even after being doubtful before I played it. Speaking to those who have already played the PS3 version, if you really loved it back then, I would suggest getting this version for PS4 too. It has a lot of extras and it looks really beautiful with the 1080p, higher frame rate, and updated graphics and character models. To those who are interested in diving into The Last of Us for the first time, what are you waiting for?!? The Last of Us Remastered is just a perfect game made even more perfect.

Within the zombie clichés lies a lovely, moving story about a relationship between two desperate people.

The Last of Us for the PS4 is a perfect game for all people who haven't had the opportunity to get acquainted with it before. It's probably the best game available for this piece of hardware - great story, engaging gameplay and impressive technology. But if you know The Last of Us, you have nothing new to look for, except shiny graphics. And that's not really THAT important, is it?

The Last of Us is and remains a masterpiece, and our rating for that title remains unchanged. This does not also apply to this Remastered edition, not so much for the quality of the work done, as for the lack of usefulness of the operation. The graphic improvements are very pleasant, but not so marked as to force the purchase of those who have already tasted the work of Naughty Dog on PS3, and content-basedly there are no really significant extras outside of the DLC.

The Last of Us Remastered is the same great game it was in 2013, but Naughty Dog's upgrade could have used more time to bake.

It features a superb plot, contains at least one piece of essential DLC and looks absolutely stunning, making it an essential purchase for newcomers and one to consider for fans of the original.

With The Last of Us: Remastered, PlayStation 3's best game just became PlayStation 4's, too.

The punishing world dares you to press on, and the story is an emotional punch to the gut. In short, this is one of the best video games ever made

The Last of Us remains a must-play, genre-defining action survival game, and the Remastered version brings with it plentiful tweaks and additional content that make it well worth the asking price.

The Last of Us Remastered is a better-looking, better performing version of an already incredible game. As such, those who haven't played the original version should buy immediately, and those that have probably should as well.

17 for those who have played it on PS3. Even if at first glance, the graphic gap may appear derisory on The Last Of Us Remastered, the technical power made available to the game by the PS4 allows it to fully express its potential and captivate once again players who have already traveled the adventure on PS3.
