And there it is: The first must-have title for all PS4 owners and "just" another reason why Naughty Dog is called Sony's flagship game development. Everything is just right!
** ** Story
Following the outbreak of a fungal disease that turns people into "mutants / Infected" you move into a post-apocalyptic world on a journey through America. And more I do not write consciously ;-)
** Gameplay **
The game is played in the third-person perspective. The game world consists of tubes and open areas, which can then be freely explored. Many houses and apartments are accessible and searchable. To do so is always worthwhile.
Action, Stealth and explore the game world, go here together seamlessly. Nothing seemed fake or forced. Everything goes smooth from the hand. On weapons, everything is possible, you could wish for Shooter Heart: revolvers, shotguns, rifles but also melee weapons such as boards, pipes or axes. During your journey you collect repeatedly on objects with which you can modify and improve their your weapons. Nor can such things as Medicare Kids, nail bombs and knives manufacture. The game is not stingy with violence, but can be switched off in the options the blood. During the fighting, it is advisable behind cars, walls, etc. to go for cover.
** Sound **
Each scene is perfectly set to music and sound. Times hectic and loud, sometimes soft, ambient sounds, accompanied by strings. The weapons all sound crisp. The dialogues are dubbed in the German dubbing at very high levels. This is (unfortunately) still not a standard in the games industry, so I mention it.
** Graphic **
Graphics are not everything, but if a game like 'The Last of Us "is still so present, may the player heart before tears of joy in his eyes drift. Really every scene is bathed so perfectly designed and in light and shadow, that remains only available in an easy and enjoying. In part, this reminds a bit of the wonderful also (unfortunately not commercially successful) game "Enslaved - Odyssey to the West". And so it's no surprise that developers of this game have been involved also in "The Last of Us".
** KI **
You meet on mutants / infected and of course human opponents. Each type of enemy has its own AI. Human opponents recordable as trying to distract you by shelling while their colleagues you fall into the flank. The infected people are not so clever, but dangerous in their own way.
** Characters **
This is the yardstick on which future games should be measured, no, MUST. And that indeed deserves. The game features only interesting, credible and complex characters. All with different motivations and histories. Add to this the often charming, witty interactions and dialogues of the two main protagonists of the game. This can be missed by inattentive players and also do not contribute much to the story especially, but they give the characters a depth that can not be found even begin in some other games.
** Multiplayer **
Yes, there is. However, not played by me, because I'm not a fan of multiplayer. Looking at other reviews / tests pure if you are interested in the ;-)
** Length of the game **
I play comfortably, enjoy the graphics, see me at everything and try to find a lot of collector's items. I have seen for about 18 and a half hours to Endscreen. This is only true for the main story. As soon as I'm through (also entahltenen on the disc) Story DLC "Left Behind", I give an update.
** Other **
Entahlten On the Games Disc are many unlockable concept art, and a nearly 1 and a half hours long Dokumetation on the development of the game. The DLC "Left Behind" is also included. Also you can tackle the game in New Game Plus again.
** Conclusion **
This game is the best thing for a long time I could play. That's all there really nciht to say! I am glad that it has been released for the PS4, because otherwise I would have, like many others have also no PS3, missed it.
