Game of the Month

The Last Of Us: Remastered
Action/ Adventure/ Survival/ Tactical

Lets start by getting the ugly debate that seems to be on the lips of any one that also played it on PS3 "It doesn't look that different from the PS3 version!" my reply to this "Well of course not its been Remastered not Remade!!!" . There are notable tweaks to the visuals throughout the whole campaign, made more apparent in the cutscenes.
 
Now thats we have that out of the way lets talk about the campaign. For me this was by far the best campaign I ever played on PS3. For the older gamer, with children and responsibilties, you'll get drawn into the emotional side of the story that frequently reaches for the heart strings. With moments of action, peril and shear terror, this is yet another one of Naughty Dogs finest that makes you feel as though your living it, not just playing it.
 
The backdrop is a post-apocalyptic America where you play as Joel, a middle aged man, who's involved in a bit of gun smuggling. Joel and his partner Tess have there latest shipment stolen and this leads to the epic adventure that sees you paired with Ellie, a teenage girl, who you have to deliver to a rebellion group called The Fireflies to get your guns back.

 

The story that unfolds sees you travel across America while meeting other groups of survivors (good and bad) and trying to avoid the Infected. These come in three stages;

1st stage - Runners (early stage infected that will attack on sight)

2nd stage - Clickers ( blind infected that use echo location to find you)

3rd stage - Bloaters (strong, slow moving infected that hurl balls of infected spores at you).
 
The Last of Us is captivating to say the least and everyone is in for a real treat. As an added bonus the Left Behind DLC is included. Although this is a prequel story, it should be played after the campaign to be fully appreciated.
 
Multiplayer feels more solid than it did on PS3. Unfortunately I can't quite explain why, in all 3 game modes to choose from, its all 4 x 4. The Modes are:
 
Supply Raid - Basically a team deathmatch each team has 20 respawns first team to eliminate all the other team wins.
 
Survivors - No respawns, first team to win four rounds wins the match.
 
Interrogation - Down enemies and interrogate them to learn the location of their safe, which you then have to try and open.
