Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ An amazing apocalyptic story.
+ Fun combat.
+ Great level design.
- Tedious and uncreative puzzles.

I played this game on the PlayStation 3 and wanted to replay this game with my boyfriend. For the most part, the game holds up pretty well to this day. After not playing it in years and after watching The Last of Us HBO series, there are many sections that I forgot and apparently the show didn't include. It's a longer game than I remember.
I enjoyed the combat, albeit on Easy mode. I chose Easy mode because I'm not looking for a challenge; I played this game again so my boyfriend knows the original source before watching the HBO series. I did not enjoy moving dumpsters, moving ladders, moving wood on the water. There was a lot of that and puzzles could have been more unique. Despite being on Easy mode, there were a few challenging sections—this is coming from a Souls player. I suppose the great abundance of ammunition made the game easy and a breeze, but you still needed to tackle sections strategically so it doesn't go wrong. Either way, I enjoyed replaying this game.
