Should I play grounded difficult?

I never play this game before

As a first timer i would recommend to take a difficulty that is challenging but not unfair.
Naughty Dog games are pretty difficult on the highest settings and "grounded" is no different.
You will have no indicators for your health or anything, which is crucial in this game. You won't know how many bullets are in your weapon which is also important.

Ressources are very low and that means that you have to melee combat a lot of people because you will not have enough ammunition.

Btw, on a normal playtrhough you will not have enough ammunition most of the time, so this will be something when you completed the game comfortebly on hard settings.

Just as play Easy difficulty for newcomers. After you beat the game, you can always select higher difficulty for more challenging with less resource. Nevertheless, this is survival horror, action-shooter genre.

DUDE play it on the hardest difficult and trust me u will be have the greatest and realistic gameplay of this Game! U need counter urself the Shoots u take. So u know how many bullets left in ur Magazine. In the movie last of us its the same they have not many ammo and many times Joel or Ally attack the Enemy with Melee combat.
I havn´t play The Last of us but i play it from the beginning on hardest difficult.
Sorry for my English .. :(

That is the best way to play THE LAST OF US :))

Yes. It's not unfair. It's about knowing when and when not to use your valuables. Super immersive.

i would suggest on difficulty hard, i never played this game before, but i guess it is too easy on easy

You will get the most out of the last of us on grounded mode so yes please start on that. And do not try and get through it quickly, actually examine each location as it has a lot of collectibles and notes to read. these notes will help with the understanding of the main story as well as the locations history and potential loot opportunities. Get ready to feel every emotion and be hooked. Also if grounded is to extreme you can lower down to your liking in game. :)

I tried playing grounded mode on ps4. Maybe i was just bad but i found it to be quite unfair. Ammo is extremely and i mean EXTREMELY sparse. I gave up maybe 25% through after being stuck having no ammo in a challenging fight.

Id say only play this difficulty if you are a mega fan of the game. Last of Us does have good game play but most of its praise comes from the story. I feel like playing on grounded on your first playthrough will ruin that.

play it on hard the first time and grounded on NG+
