But the best thing we can say is that the visual spectacle is aimed to give a specific, slightly melancholic and optimistic atmosphere. There are a handful of very own horror games, each one of them unique and different time for each part of the story stripes locations: evenings, nights, in broad daylight and under showers, among others. Much improvement in broader scenarios and variety of textures is a light cost of sacrificing quality in some textures, usually in inconspicuous places, but all very commendable when it is running on the same platform as the first Uncharted: technical progress achieved in these years is worthy of admiration, and also undergoes less artistic highs and lows that Uncharted 3.
Rounding out the game we need to talk about the sound. Gustavo Santaolalla has done immense work with the main theme, which sounds in the game adapted according to the tone you want Transmit-.Santaolalla’s followers also recognize many more environmental issues, almost experimental without reaching the level of aggressiveness of Akira Yamaoka- with few instruments, mostly guitars, designed mainly to sequences.
A demonstration of how much can be conveyed in an almost subliminal way without pulling most stunning music. During the game, however, most of the soundtrack are the sound effects that play a fundamental role in the gameplay as hint at what happens during stealth: footsteps, voices or noise from infected you indicate something moving nearby. In addition, they have added auditory cues to warn of an enemy that has us about your field that lets you put on alert before it’s too late. Players with surround sound equipment will take a lot out of them and notice their lead heading into the gameplay.
Seen in perspective, The Last of Us conspicuously so alone and that should be your reason to buy. Multiplayer promises even more hours of gameplay after squeezing the history of Joel and Ellie, but not enough weight, at least at launch -absence in some ways, for example, to steal the limelight for the campaign. It’s fun, and played well has its own personality, but if Naughty Dog have not been included our opinion the game would not have changed anything, which is why we consider it as an extra.
