    "Remake", ha-h, a pitiful cash grab, a shameless corruption of original, a failed attempt to solidify The Golf Club 2020 - that's what it is.

    First off, this is not a remake, is a remaster, and a remaster of a remaster at that...and they had the nerve to charge $70 for it!
    Now, to make it simple:
    If you never played any of the previous versions: buy it. If you only played the PS3 version: maybe buy it on a sale. If you played the PS4 version: dont buy it.

    When it all comes down to it, what does this “remake” do to benefit the playability of this game?

    Overall I was happy to run through the game again with the visual update. The price value proposition here is the main reason for the low score and if this had been in the £10-£30 range this would easily be a 8/10. While I understand it is Sony setting the price here, alongside the recently announced PS5 price hike in UK it all leads to a very poor showing from Sony since the PS5 launch and they really seem to be burning all the goodwill from the previous generation. Massive missed opportunity to earn some goodwill from the fans!    … Expand

    Still the same great game but released for the third time with no significant upgrades in terms of gameplay or content. Graphically impressive but ultimately not enough to warrant a $70 dollar price tag. Advice for first timers? Buy the Remaster for PS4, it’s the exact same game and much much cheaper. Graphical fidelity is not enough at this price point.

    I would of given it a higher score but I ran into a few bugs that let me down. I fell through the map a few times. I also took the removal of factions into account. Given the price of £70 I expected more. Hopefully in a few patches I can come back and give it a higher score

    An overpriced unnecessary remake of a game that already received not only a remaster but a 4K update that can be played on PS4 Pro and PS5. TLOU was already overrated to begin with but anyone praising and supporting remakes like this is only doing harm to the videogame industry and encouraging developers to be lazy and uninspired.

    This is one of the greats as far as Sony IPs, but the $70 price tag on a game that has minimal improvements and dated gameplay mechanics makes this a hard pill to swallow. I'm not so petty as to give this a 0 as some here have, but this is overpriced and incomplete.

    If I'm just reviewing this game and I had never played the original The Last of Us, this would be fantastic. It would be game of the year.

    I just recently played the original The Last of Us and while the game is dated in some aspects, the truth of the matter is, it is still as good as anyone who remembers playing it for the first time. It is a masterpiece. Then I remembered, I have the Remastered version as well as a PS Plus subscriber an while I didn't really play it (maybe like an hour), it was still everything that I could want. And just to note, the remaster came out 13 months after the original release.

    So it stands to question, why does this remake exist? The truth is, I don't have a good answer. Then when you add in that in reality, this remake is a bloated, expensive ($70), visually updated version of a game that you probably already have, that was also cut in half, I have even less of an answer.

    The only thing I can say is this, if you haven't already played this game, go for it. I would wait for it to go on sale, but go for it. This is probably the best way to play the game and wait for part II as well. But as a person who has the original and remaster (PS Plus) already, I can't recommend it because I questioned why I even bothered renting it while i was playing it.    … Expand

If you love games about zombies and the post-apocalypse then this is just for you. If you don't like games that have a mature and dark tone that make you uncomfortable then this will not be for you. One last thing I will say is actually try the game out for yourself and don't listen to people telling you how to spend your money.

When you play this game it feels like you're playing a game from 2013. Which isn't a good thing especially because they improved the combat system in the last of us 2. My point being is this game feels extremely dated and it really is not worth $70. Even if you have never played the last of us before it is still not worth $70. $70 is the price of a 2022 game not a 2013 game. The Last of Us was a great game in 2013 but it doesn't hold up in 2022. I would suggest waiting for the price to drop on this one to atleast $40 before purchasing it. Or you can just play The last of us remastered it's the same thing with slightly dated graphics.

    Gameplay wise, you are looking at a competent stealth action game, but that did nothing new to advance the genre.

    Let's be clear, as far as stealth options are concerned, you get to chose between throwing a brick, or a bottle, that's it. There are no exciting environmental opportunities to leverage, no interesting situational obstacles to deal with, and boredom sets in as, you deal with fairly identical situations, over, and over. Think of Uncharted, with extra boring interruptions, walking sections, and with the fun action bits removed. They also got rid of the puzzles too since you now get to play with bricks and ladders.

    The crafting and looting is competently handled, but there is really nothing in terms of gadgets or skill tree worth praising above and beyond the competition.

    And that's my problem, in the light of all of these observations, it is difficult for me to accept the praise the game has garnered. Maybe an exceptional scenario and plot could have justified the praises, but considering how cliche and predictable the story is, it is that much more difficult to reconcile myself with its critical success.

    Yes, the acting, music, presentation and production value was a cut above the competition, but as far as 2013 release games, I can think of so many games that easily outclass The last of us in terms of game and level design, pacing, mechanics, and player agency. Games such as Tomb raider, Blacklist, GTAV, not only did more, but they did it better - and if we wanted to draw a comparison with a game that more closely resembles the last of us, Spec ops: The line was the more successful of the two in realizing its story-telling ambitions.

    The last of us remains a moderately enjoyable game, it does have a few saving graces in terms of scenario and game-play (like the hunting sandbox at the beginning of the winter chapter), but it is far too repetitive and limited in scope to be considered anything above the best the competition has to offer. It is also worth noting that 2 of Resident evil 4's most memorable, fun, and iconic game-play moments were "borrowed" by Naughty dog, though not as well executed as in Capcom's masterwork.

    As a videogame, The last of us only truly excels at mimicking what has previously been done better on film and TV, yet does very little in terms of intelligent design, and interactive story telling    … Expand

    I played it straight through over a week and beat it on normal. I still don’t understand the hype. The gameplay is as clunky as I remembered. The stealth mechanics generally suck. Your enemies can shoot for days but only drop 1-3 bullets when you loot them. Arrows break every other shot. Shivs are constantly breaking because there are apparently no knives left in the world (even though Ellie has an unbreakable switchblade). Some enemies can take multiple rounds to the head. There is an over abundance of QTEs. The clicker enemies are the most annoying as they are way overused.

    The writing borrows heavily from The Road, 28 Days Later, and TWD. The characters are all unlikable, especially Joel. He reminds me of Rick, and yells “Ellie!” almost as much as Rick yells “Carl!” There is almost every post apocalyptic trope known to mankind: paramilitary groups, mutants, and cannibals. Yes, cannibals in a world that is full of game and canned food.

    All in all it’s an okay game, but nothing you would want to play through multiple times. If you want a truly enjoyable experience with top notch gameplay, stealth, and adrenaline fueled combat encounters try Days Gone.    … Expand

    Now they have another remaster for PS5, for a full price. Unfortunately, this time it is a cash grab. It somehow looks the same or worse than a PS4 remaster, especially when it comes to the redesigned cast.

The game has received a significant visual upgrade with higher resolution textures, improved lighting, and smoother character models. The environments are more immersive, and the attention to detail is commendable. However, when comparing it to the PS4 version, the differences are not groundbreaking. Yes, it looks better, but it doesn't push the PS5's capabilities to their limits. It feels more like a polished remaster than a truly next-gen experience.

    One of the main selling points of the PS5 is its fast loading times, thanks to the SSD. The Last of Us Part 1 does indeed benefit from this feature, and loading screens are significantly reduced. This improvement is appreciated, especially for those who have played the game before and now want a more streamlined experience. However, it's not a game-changing feature exclusive to the PS5 version, as other PS4 games have also seen load time improvements when played on the new console.

    In terms of performance, the PS5 version offers a higher frame rate, resulting in smoother gameplay. The game runs at a consistent 60 frames per second, which does make a difference in the overall feel and responsiveness, particularly during intense combat sequences. Nevertheless, it's important to note that the PS4 version already ran at 30 frames per second, which was quite acceptable and didn't hinder the overall experience.

    As for the gameplay itself, The Last of Us Part 1 remains unchanged between the PS4 and PS5 versions. The gripping narrative, emotional character development, and heart-pounding action sequences that made the game a masterpiece are preserved intact. While this is great for newcomers to the series, those who have already played it on the PS4 might feel underwhelmed with the lack of substantial new content or gameplay enhancements exclusive to the PS5 version.

    Considering the minimal upgrades and the fact that the core gameplay remains the same, it's challenging to justify the $70 price tag for existing players. It almost feels like an unnecessary cash grab, preying on fans' nostalgia and desire for a next-gen experience. If you've never played The Last of Us Part 1 before and own a PS5, then this version might be worth considering. However, for those who already own the PS4 version, it might be best to wait for a price drop or invest in new gaming experiences that truly showcase the PS5's capabilities.

    In conclusion, The Last of Us Part 1 for PS5 is a beautiful and enjoyable game that brings improvements in graphics and performance. However, it falls short of being a definitive next-gen experience and feels more like a repackaged version for current-gen owners. If you haven't played the game before and own a PS5, it could be a worthwhile purchase. For returning players, though, it's hard to justify the higher price, as the upgrades don't significantly enhance the overall gameplay.    … Expand

But unfortunately, I didn’t and have to judge it based on my experience today. At the end of the day it’s a game and the gameplay needs to be good. I’m surprised they didn’t update the gameplay/mechanics in the remastered version, as I really do think it’d make the game a lot more enjoyable to play. I’ll probably give Part II ago when it’s released on PC, but I won’t be excited or in a rush about it. Side note - I’m not judging the game on its performance on the PC. It ran kinda okay on my system but definitely didn’t affect my overall opinion or experience of the game.    … Expand

    If I played it on PS3 or PS4 for the remake version, this game will definitely be 10, a no-brainer. However, if you buy it at the full price cost or a limited discount. the game doesn't worth that much. I would suggest anyone who hasn't played it just wait for a big sale or go for the original version. 70 USD is just too much for the content, especially after so many years.

    As much as we love the skeleton, the way it’s been built upon here feels like a missed opportunity. The chance to incorporate Part II’s stellar gameplay evolutions into the original heart-wrenching story was there; had Naughty Dog taken it, it could have been a game-changer. Instead, this feels like an obligatory reshoot. Yes, it’s visually stunning (one of PS5’s best), and yes, things have been changed. But the end result? Too familiar. Neat extras are here, like a speedrun mode, behind the scenes videos, and commentary tracks – but we’d hoped for something bolder. [Issue#19, p.74]

    The original The Last of Us will always be my favourite PlayStation game. The narrative is amazing, the relationship between Joel and Ellie is wholesome and it all culminates into a satisfying story that will bring tears to your eyes. However, I do not recommend the remake. Even though there are extensive graphical enhancements, 60FPS support, DualSense support and a variety of accessibility options, none of this justifies the admission price. And, above all, there was really no need for this remake, the original is perfect as it is and available on PS Plus. Skip it and wait for a fat discount if you are keen to try it.
