That is pretty much it with this game nothing else new. Another issue with this game is how dated it feels. It doesn't feel good at all. 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.

    Da un remake di un remaste ed è uscito meno di dieci anni fa mi aspetto come minimo la perfezione, invece è solo un buon gioco con una buona grafica, comunque inferiore al 2, e nella opzione migliore su Console, a 30 FPS.. L'unica cosa che doveva essere perfetta in Questo gioco non lo è

And they've improved the gameplay tremendously. Prior to this release I've played The Last of Us two or three times (once on PS3, 1.75 times on the PS4 remaster). I've always liked the game but not loved it. I believe I had higher hopes originally for a survival horror game, whereas this was more like a dramatic action game. But on this new version I feel the survival elements a lot more strongly. I found the difficulty to be well balanced on Moderate, and 1/3 way though I switched to Hard, and that's what I'm still on about 2/3 through. The AI is a much better programmed. The companions do a better job of sticking with you, being helpful and not looking stupid; and the enemies feel more aggressive. You can't just sit back in a fight, you will get flanked. I like the rush of the combat. The feeling of popping off a lucky headshot when an enemy is just about to hit you -- this sort of thing happens often. It's very much in their design to have these "lucky" feeling moments, and yet they feel so visceral and cinematic. The whole game is a wonderful balance cinematic and gameplay. It's super engaging. The production design is so good that it immerses you in the world, and then the gameplay hits harder. This game is firing on all cylinders. It's a master class. I have officially come around on The Last of Us and am happy to admit it's one of the best games I've ever played. This remake polished it to a point where I really enjoy the game and just see the good things about it.… Expand

    Anyone referring to this as a remake needs to research the difference between remake and remaster.
    This is the second remaster of this game. Repackaged for $70.

    I liked the original game, which is not surprising, many did, but while it had a good story and pacing, I was frustrated by the game's gameplay mechanics and flawed controls (this is the case with many console exclusives, but that doesn't make it any less of an issue).

I was hoping they'd have fixed some of the flaws of the original game, but unfortunately they haven't touched gameplay at all, nor have they improved the controls. This "Remake" deserves nothing more than a 0 (unless your expectations are embarrassingly low) for 3 key reasons;
    A) This is not a remake. It's borderline false advertising, and most likely intentional to justify the $70 price tag. The vast majority of the changes that were made are in no way "next-gen". They could have been included in the PS4, or even the PS3 version of the game in a free update.
    B) Even if they called it what it is, a remaster, why do we need another remaster of a game that has already been remastered? You can stick the PS4 disc of TLOU in a PS5 and you get the same experience with marginally inferior graphics.
    C) I know I mentioned this before, but $70??? Seriously ND and Sony? What's the point of adding "audio description" for blind people if the majority of them WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE GAME? Especially during these times, it's absolutely disgusting for a AAA studio to pull a scam like this. Anyone who was involved in the decision making surrounding this project should be ashamed.
    Besides, if you were gonna waste recourses to "remake a game from the ground up", why didn't you remake Uncharted or the Jak and Daxter franchise? Their mechanics are far more outdated and they would benefit much more from a modern remake with updated gameplay. Either they are lying about "remaking TLOU from the ground up", and it took them very little recourses to remake it, or these publishers/devs are completely tone deaf.    … Expand

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.

    Cant recommend it at the price it launched, as it’s more expensive than the remaster that came with the Left Behind DLC and the multiplayer for 50 USD. This offers nothing more, only less for 20 bucks more. Wait for a price drop.    … Expand

    The Last Of Us Part 1, to put it simply, is a cash grab to try and bank on the nostalgia of the oldest fans of this franchise. Even though Neil Druckmann assures that this is a Remake, I can confidently say that it is not. It is the exact same as the 2013 release, with missing content (The multiplayer) that costs more than the original.

    Although the graphics do look nice, they're just graphics. They don't define what a great, or even a masterpiece of a video game should be. It should be the gameplay and how it's played, and compared to TLoU P2, it is a complete downgrade. That game introduced the prone mechanic and the the dodge mechanic, both that are removed from the this game. The reason for a "remake" is to improve upon the original game, by upgrading the game with modern gameplay mechanics, like the Resident Evil 2 Remake. That game deserves a remake because the original game released more then 2 decades ago and do not compare to the games for today's standards.

    Not only that, but I'm 90% sure that the HUD and the icons are just a lazy port from TLoU P2. The icon for Abby's pistol is the exact same as Joel's pistol.

    That being said, you can experience the exact same game with more content on the PS4 release, which is conveniently available for the PS5 as well. If you're reading this, I highly recommend you buy that version instead.    … Expand

    Loved the original, finished singleplayer 3 times (PS3 and PS4), multiplayer was absolutely amazing, one of best multiplayer modes. Why is multiplayer gone from remake is beyond me. Also there's no discount for owners of the PS4 remaster. I am not paying $70 for a game I already paid for 2 times and it lacks multiplayer. BIG disappointment.

    THE LAST OF US PS5(REBUILT)
    First of all, I am very angry at the bigoted media for reflecting this as a remake, because this is a project made for players who want to experience The Last of Us(PS3) game, which has bad parts and already basically good mechanics, on ps5.
    Unfortunately, the price was as Sony wanted, if they had offered at least 10% 20% discount on the price, even those    THE LAST OF US PS5(REBUILT)
    First of all, I am very angry at the bigoted media for reflecting this as a remake, because this is a project made for players who want to experience The Last of Us(PS3) game, which has bad parts and already basically good mechanics, on ps5.

    Unfortunately, the price was as Sony wanted, if they had offered at least 10% 20% discount on the price, even those who pre-ordered the TLOU PART 2 game, they would not have received such a reaction, but it is very inappropriate and unnecessary to blame Naughty Dog for this situation, and the accounting officials of the roof company determine the sales prices In other words, the friends who determine the price are the accountants sitting in the Playstation main studio. (For example, the roof company of the rockstar games Take Two will determine the price of the GTA6 Game that will be released in the coming years (one day, of course) or the price of TES6 will be determined by Microsoft) so I find it very inappropriate to talk to the company about this. These guys are basically workers and laborers. The people who implement the policy are the magnate part.
    and most of the people on my list are playing the game. Even though some people think that the game does not deserve enough money, sony has removed the game from the full game price because it knows that the game will be sold anyway, and as far as I can see, we can say that they made the right move because the game is playing at the top in both physical and digital sales.

    THE GAME IS THE SAME GAME!!! CLASSIC YOUTUBER DRAMA PREMIUM DRAMA!!!

    The game is of course the same game, of course, because it basically does things beyond even time, they perfected the already beautiful mechanics instead of changing most mechanics both in terms of narrative and gameplay. I've seen a lot of animations that are not in the main game or they made the animations that are triggered very rarely in the main game more common (eg: kicking from the top of the car, finishing hits, headbutting) this game came out in 2013 1 year later, of course, the remastered version it was going to come out, even for the normal The Last of Us 2013, it was the game that closed an era and started an era, it was a proof of how important it is in the story as much as gameplay in games, how it can be made into a masterpiece with its narrative, in the playstation 4 generation, sony has always made games with this logic, that is, a whole world giant. It changed the company's game-making logic, changed the cutscene shooting logic, how perfect work can be done with less mechanics.

    FINISH
    Don't pay attention to what's written on the internet, always keep your own experience ahead. When the game called Days Gone was slammed by everyone, I went and finished it without any prejudice and I enjoyed it immensely, invest money on content that you love and amuse you, never be fooled by the ignorant comments of youtubers who get every code for free if you like something And if you can afford it, go get it and play, all I can say is I bought this Tlou Part I and I don't regret it, they react to people because they bought the game, please don't do it, friends, we live in a 3-day world, don't hurt each other, support each other I will say I would write these more at length, but most people won't even read this post, so I tried to keep it short, good luck to everyone.    … Expand

This game is still a 10 BUT – what I was hoping and everyone else as well I think, why the heck is the movement not like in part 2 ? I want to fight the Stalkers like I can with Abby in part 2, now I need to run away as I cannot dodge…too bad….this gives a minus here, the gameplay could have been implemented easily. But with all the other parts…graphic, sound, STORY, legacy status…I pay full price here, no question. When I check the trophies it looks like there is not trophy for permadeath grounded mode…this is a bit weird, as when you made it through in this mode you lived that characters in this world and should be awarded.

The games graphics have been overhauled, the aesthetics and attention to detail are exceptional. The narrative remains the same but I found the level of immersion to be significantly enhanced, as both combat and weapons have experienced improvements. I found myself more connected to Joel and Ellie this time around than other playthroughs (however this could also be an influence of TLOU 2). Personally I throughly enjoy this series and have no issues with any version of TLOU (I do think Part 1 is the best iteration of TLOU). Additionally in the scope of the series upon finishing Part 1. I have to strongly disagree with many of you who have issues with Part 2. After considering at length the moral and ethical ambiguities of our beloved characters I’ve come to the personal conclusion that the games are exceptional because they capture a sample of humanity in each character, they are perfectly imperfect. They don’t push narratives or identities, they simply seek to emulate human nature, the whole spectrum of good, bad and ugly. To me that’s what makes these games likely my favorites of all time.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As per usual(and expected) Metacritic is abused once again as an outlet for the disgruntled who think anything they dislike is automatically objectively bad. I have seen dozens upon dozens of "bad reviews", literal 0's from people who state that they have not played the game, just complaining about the price, and even a random review from someone complaining that the PC version isn't out yet(how the hell does this warrant a 0!). This remake was controversial to say the least and I expected nothing less considering TLOU tends to have a fanbase that on one end is rational and appreciate the depth and effort put into the series, and on the other end a ton of manchildren who think any little thing they do not like warrants a 0.

    This remake is a 9/10 for me, the visuals are among the best I've seen on the PS5 thus far and indisputably better than the original by a significant margin, the environment design is flat-out insane and makes exploring, combat and other activities much more immersive when the places you traverse actually have interior and exterior character. The lighting, shadows, reflections, foliage, vfx, etc. all help to make scenes vastly more dramatic and realistic. I was constantly jaw-dropped at how good many of the scenes looked, and to think that this was all gameplay too. The cutscenes are no longer pre-rendered like the original, they're fully rendered in real time and my god do they look insanely good. The facial animations, body animations, character models combined with the visuals through the components I mentioned before make cutscenes incredibly more emotional and vivid. There are scenes where the performances of the original did not get through whatsoever that are restored in the remake, a big one I can think of is the introduction, where the scenes like Tommy blocking the door to buy time for Joel and Sarah, or Joel holding his dying daughter are already well-done performances even further improved by the facial animations of the remake that the original simply is no competition for. You can see Tommy's fear in that introduction, whereas he looked dull and emotionless in the original. What helps this all as well is the amazing sound design carried over from TLOU2, Naughty Dog really does have some of the best sound engineering in the industry and the world's sounds just play out realistically in all of the environments you come across, whether it be inside of a tunnel or in an empty alleyway. Take all the emotions you had in the original and amplify them, that's what the remake does.

    The post-game features are great. Things like added achievements that were not in the original, speedrun mode, commentary, visual filters, game effects, custom skins for Joel and Ellie, getting to replay it with all your weapons, etc. make the game extremely enjoyable beyond just 1 playthrough.

    Why not a 10/10? Mainly because of the gameplay. Do not get me wrong, this gameplay is great. It actually mirrors a ton of the smooth gameplay we saw in TLOU2 in everything from the much-better AI, gunplay. updated infected like the way more terrifying new clickers and stalkers, gore, the physics that react to you shooting, throwing bombs, etc. and the overall fluid motion of it all. Things like the updated UI and workbench keep things clean and manageable. What I found to be kind of a bummer is the lack of dodge and prone. I get why Naughty Dog didn't implement them, as to stay true to the original(no, it's not laziness. After everything I've seen in this remake, lazy is the last word I'd characterize any of it with), but it would have made the gameplay much more exciting and intense. A big part of why they didn't include it was because the environments of the original did not suit these features, but since they visibly seem to have rebuild these environments, I don't really see why they couldn't have made minor modifications to the environments to implement these features. I also noticed the lack of small details that made me love TLOU2 like the enemies calling out each other's names, and while the callouts in this game corresponding with actions does work much more smoothly than the original, names would have been a great feature to include.

    Overall, this is a 9/10 for me and is by far the best way to experience this game. This is the best way to experience the series as a matter of fact because the game is designed for a smooth transition into TLOU2 thanks to the updated character models and small story details, as well as the UI and general gameplay. TLOU2 will essentially be the same gameplay but with added features instead of remapped or removed ones. I understand why most people do not want to pay $70 for this. For $70, players like me who have not played in many years or new players should honestly pick it up. When this goes on sale though eventually for like $30-40, I suggest most players to get this, absolutely worth it if that's the price for the majority of players.    … Expand

    The game is a cinematic experience that could make a rock emotional, offering newcomers and seasoned zombifiers alike the chance to experience that jaw-dropping, heart-pounding feeling. [Issue#322]

    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.
