    Ok… as the last remastered: there is no need for this if we had real retro compatibility. For me is an 8 because the original was a 10 masterpiece, and remastered was a 9 for the same reason. This is unnecessary. Overall still a masterpiece

It has been rebuilt from the ground up for the PlayStation 5, with stunning visuals, enhanced gameplay, and expanded accessibility options.

    The story follows Joel Miller, a smuggler tasked with escorting a teenage girl named Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States. The two form an unlikely bond as they travel through a dangerous world, where infected humans and other survivors are just as deadly as the infected.

    The remake does an excellent job of updating the original game for modern audiences. The visuals are simply stunning, with detailed character models, realistic environments, and stunning lighting effects. The gameplay has also been improved, with smoother controls and more fluid combat.

    The remake also adds a number of new features, including a new permadeath mode, a speedrun mode, and a photo mode. These new features add replay value to the game and make it even more enjoyable.

    Overall, The Last of Us Part I is a masterful remake that is sure to please fans of the original game. It is also a great introduction to the series for newcomers.

    Here are some of the pros and cons of the game:

    Pros:

    Stunning visuals
    Enhanced gameplay
    Expanded accessibility options
    New features
    Great story
    Excellent characters
    Cons:

    Expensive
    Some minor changes to the story
    Overall, I highly recommend The Last of Us Part I. It is a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay, and it is sure to be a classic for years to come.

    As for the price, I think it is justified given the amount of work that has gone into the remake. The new visuals, gameplay, and accessibility features are all worth the price of admission. However, I understand that some people may be hesitant to pay $70 for a remake. If you are on the fence, I would recommend waiting for a sale.    … Expand

    Шикарный ремейк культовой классики!
    С удовольствием перепрошел на PS5 а те кто говорят что это ленивый Ремастер ничего кроме смеха не вызывают.
    Спасибо, PlayStation Studios за качественно проделанную работу.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game has a lot of bugs and due to the mid story crash for some reason I have to restart my game progress for 70$ for a remake of a remaster I was hoping for BUG FREE. Thank god for GameStops Refund Policy. In that case though I love the story and would pay for it again.… Expand

    One of the best games I've ever played. Polished to maximum again for PS5, with emotional, deep story. It has only one flaw: you can play it for the first time only once. There's also lack of multiplayer mode in this version, but I never actually played it anyway.

    I know it’s easy to say this game didn’t need a $70 remake and while I’m 50/50 on that topic, I’m in the minority on playing the original Part 1 AFTER Part 2, so a lot of the improvements of Part 2 were missing from Part 1, which harmed my initial experience with the Last of Us (more on that later).

Overall tho, I was very open to the idea of Part 1’s remake from the very first rumor of it existing since everything except for the story of Part 1 felt outdated to me personally. I’m glad to say it’s a complete upgrade in nearly every single way compared to the original! Losing the multiplayer is a downside yes, but it’s not like I ever played Factions or planned to anyway.. The only 2 issues I can think of is yes, this game shouldn’t have been $70, I would’ve been much more comfortable paying $50. The biggest issue I had with this remake is that it didn’t incorporate any of the combat improvements from Part 2, still no dodge button! Sigh, missed opportunities. The rest of the package was incredible tho, the graphical improvements are AMAZING. It’s up there with the Horizon games visually. I really love the DualSense haptics too, I can’t go back to any other kind of controller tbh. The story is still immaculate as always, the new facial expressions really did make more of the emotional moments hit harder than in the original game. Overall I really enjoyed the experience, Naughty Dog successfully made the gameplay experience feel modern and new, and I’m very much looking forward to Part 3 in 2037!… Expand

    One of the best games of all time. In my life I’ve never played a game with such great acting, animation, sound effects and graphics. The game is just so well thought out that after I finish the game I’m left thinking more about it. This game rivals stories told by movies and tv shows even.

    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.
