The Last of Us walkthrough and guide (PS4, PS3)
For those who missed out on The Last of Us - whether it was on its initial release on PS3 or remaster on PS4 a year later - the PlayStation-exclusive post-apocalyptic yarn was lauded as much for its characters and depth of writing as it was its undeniable technical achievements. Now it's available to play on PC via PlayStation Now and at 4K on PS4 Pro, it gives the game a whole new audience a way to play Naughty Dog's masterpiece.
We've put together a The Last of Us guide for the game, one that will take you all the way through the vanilla story with our The Last of Us walkthrough, and then through the Left Behind DLC (which for PS4 players, is automatically included with the Remastered edition). Should you find yourself breezing through the story, you still might find it useful to refer to our guide to all the collectables that are spread throughout the extended game, too.
