The Last of Us

A lot of gamers who must have been anticipating the arrival of The Last of Us, the latest game from Naughty Dog that is eagerly awaited. With high hype and released three kinds of demos, if Naughty Dog managed to bring back a good game?

Reviews The Last of Us


The Last of Us Air-setting in the year 2033, 20 years after the epidemic spread of Cordyceps fungi that infect humans and make them more aggressively attack humans. Joel who survived the plague now works as a smuggler in a quarantine zone. One day he got a job to smuggle a child to a place named Ellie.




At first glance, the premise and setting of the story The Last of Us looks like a typical zombie game that has been scattered. But The Last of Us is not focused tells Joel task, but what about Joel relationships with other characters, especially Ellie. During the trip you will see how the relationship Joel and Ellie who initially were indifferent, developing into a good direction.



What is interesting here is on the development of relations between Joel and Ellie. Every action and dialogue that they do so reflects the condition of their relationship. Surely his life two characters are supported by their voice, Troy Baker as Joel and Ashley Johnson as Ellie. They are very riveting performance in both animates the character with all the emotions.



The Last of Us gameplay focuses on stealth because the supply is very limited. Even so, The Last of Us offers freedom to the players. Do you want to take on the enemy silently, frontal, or even try to pass all enemies without killing them. But everything has consequences.



In addition to emphasizing stealth, you are also advised to always explore the environment around because a lot of that can be found. Ranging from bullets, materials to make the item, up to a secret place, artifact, and the dialogue is also optional. All this is not mandatory, but it should be done because in addition to your benefit, most of the trophy was dependent on exploration. It is unique because it relies on the trophy that almost no story. Optional dialogue is particularly recommended as you get to know how life and the nature of the character, and can sometimes be found for dialogue is hilarious.



Besides bullets, there are three kinds of items that you can collect the material to make items, parts to upgrade weapons, and upgrade abilities supplement for Joel. Items that you can make in the other is a shiv knife, med kit, Molotov cocktail, nail bomb, and many more. When you make these items, the game will not paused (still takes place in real-time). So you have to find a place safe from being attacked when making items. While the weapon upgrades can only be performed on workstations. Supplement in the form of drugs can be used to increase the max health, accelerate the healing process, reduces weapon sway, and others.



The Last of Us graphs unquestionable, if you've seen the picture quality of Uncharted 3, then you can already expect that Naughty Dog knows very well how to maximize the capabilities of the PlayStation 3. But the most shining of this game is the character of his The Last of Us thanks to support animation. In addition to a very natural character movement, facial expressions the characters also look very clear. With a cursory glance you can know how the feelings experienced by the characters.



As already mentioned above, life characters in this game are supported by the filler voice. In addition to Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker, the voice of other movie like Robin Atkin Downes, Reuben Langdon, and Nolan North, also animates the characters that appear in The Last of Us. In addition to a distinctive guitar sound, the music in The Last of Us also makes the atmosphere livelier. The sound of the clicker that creepy music plus certainly make the atmosphere tense.

The Last of Us story is quite long. You need approximately 15 hours to complete this game. Surely the time will multiply when you perform thorough exploration. The Last of Us also offers a new game plus which could bring the data from the previous game, but the level of difficulty can not be changed to a higher one.



In addition to single player mode, you can also play the Factions is a multiplayer mode. Before you start playing, you must choose to join factions Hunter or Firefly. You cannot change the fractions before 12 weeks passed, or clan you out. During the 12 weeks, you should make sure you are getting bigger clan by bringing supply sufficient and win the game. One count matches in one day, so you have to play continuously in order to grow large clan. Supply can be obtained from the game consists of two modes: Raid Supply and Survivor. In Supply Raid, you must collect the scattered supply on the map while the opposing team finish. While the survivor is team deaths match.

You can also connect your Facebook account in which the game's multiplayer mode will automatically fill in your clan with your Facebook friends. Later you can see what your friends are doing.



Its a bit unfortunate is some glitch that appeared in The Last of Us, especially when the autosave glitch is a newly released game. This glitch has always autosave game status, but do not actually save. This led to progress in the game VGI had disappeared. Fortunately Naughty Dog fixes this immediately, so you do not have to worry anymore. Another glitch frequent appearance of a light / white line and sometimes not in the event-trigger, another thing that also impressed as a minus is when conducting stealth, AI enemy AI tends to not care about our friends. So even though the friend walks in front of AI enemies, you remain undetected. Something certainly felt awkward.

Conclusion


As one of the games that the PS3 comes ahead of the transition to next-gen era. The Last of Us is a very good game and did not disappoint. Indeed there is some glitch, but it does not cover the shine of this game. Little pity is normal multiplayer mode, aka not much different than most of the current game.

In short, The Last of Us is a must-have game.
