    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

    This game is just as amazing as it was back when it first came out, now it's looks even better. This is truly a next generation experience that only PlayStation and naughty dog can deliver.

    Such a good game that improves on everything from the original. Felt like a new but familiar experience going through the upgraded areas.
    Obviously I’d be happy if they made a new game but I’ll take bringing one of my favourite games up to todays level of game design.

    This game is being review bombed. And I can understand why tbh. Naughty dog is as greedy as any company. Charging $70 for this game is nothing short of greed.

    I feel like this game has to be rated without the price tag and yea it is really hefty one but i dont think the price tag affects you when you are already playing the game so thats why im not including it and if you cant afford or just dont want to pay that much money that's fine it your money.

There are also new small improvements like now we can sprint while throwing objects and now stomp on enemy's on the ground and the human Ai is smarter now which makes the replayablity way more enjoyable for combat sure it's not as good as part 2 but its more of a hybrid of the both of them which does make the game better. It does look Visually great some people like the look of the original one more and for me after playing this one I liked the new visuals just as much as I liked the original. Yes the game doesn't have the online mode which I wish was here and I'm not going to take it into consideration because it's not apart of the focus of this remake and feels unfair to change review because of that and it was only made to remake the story and I'm just going to say yes the story can standalone on its self and that's the only thing I'm reviewing with the gamplay and with visuals. The game itself is still a 10 and im not saying it the best game in the world but it does improve on the things it says it does and its still the enjoyable story alot of people love to play and its just that little bit better.… Expand

    The last of us (1 et 2) sont et resteront des éternels chef d’œuvres 9 ans après, et encore meilleur dans cette version Ultimate. Tout d’abord, l’écriture n’a pas vieilli, n’a pas subit de coup de vieux, le jeu est intemporelle et contrairement à beaucoup d’autres remastered, lui, arrive encore à briller par son scénario, sa mise en scene et la force de ses personnages tous riche de charisme, du très rarement vu à ce niveau. (Évident qu’ils en fasse une série sur HBO)
    Cote graphisme c’est impressionnant, j’achète énormément de jeux PS5 et aucun n’est de cette qualité. On est sur un vrai remake car graphiquement, tout est retravaillé, chaque décor, chaque détail, lumière, caméra etc
    (Accrochez vous pour trouver plus joli) Également, le gameplay est beaucoup plus fluide, il suffit de rejouer à l’ancienne version pour s’en rendre compte, certes ce n’est pas celui du 2 (évident car le jeu ne dispose pas de la même architecture verticale) mais on s’en rapproche sur l’usage de certaines armes, la prises en main en courses de Briques, Bouteilles… la facilité à enchaîner les morts comme dans le 2 (je joue en difficile) L’arsenal a été enrichi, les mises à mort également… aucune faiblesse à signaler, et ce pour les simples raisons que le jeu est meilleur que tout autre sur le plan graphique, le gameplay est fluide et facile d’accès, efficace et propose de l’action autant que de l’infiltration. Tout est question de choix. Les animations, le sound design, l’angoisse, tout est là, aucun bug, je dis bien AUCUN bug de tout le jeu. Certains parle du prix mais le prix est le prix d’un jeu. À vous d’être malin et de le trouver aux alentours de 60€ et oui il les vaut. Bilan : LES PLUS + graphismes + gameplay dynamisé
    + scénario + personnages + mise en scène + histoires culte (15h environ)
    + de nombreux bonus (plus de 8h de reportages, Skin, Mode de jeu…)

    LES MOINS
    ~ RAS Il manque le multi joueur mais on en tient jamais rigueur un grand jeu comme God Of War ou Red dead Redemption. Le prix ne sera jamais un point faible, car le prix varie tandis que la qualité reste et surtout le prix est indépendant du développement et du résultat final du jeu. Un blu ray ne coûte pas moins chère qu’un DVD et ce même si on l’a déjà vu. Un jeu PS5 aujourd’hui c’est 79€ et c’est le bris de The last of us. Si le prix est jugé trop élevé ce n’est pas lié à The last of us mais au prix établi d’un jeu PS5. Malgré le Review Bombing (50000 mauvaises notes achetées pour détruire le jeu, des polémiques accusant d’être pro LGBT, l’interdiction du jeu dans de nombreux pays, les attaques racistes visant l’ecrivain et auteur du jeu Neil Druckman de religion juive) The last of us reste toujours Grand ! Jouez-y et vous comprendrez Autrement dit, régalez vous, si vous l’avez jamais fait vous allez vous prendre une claque, ensuite foncez sur le 2… et si vous l’avez déjà fait, comme moi (sur PS4 pro) alors foncez parce que la claque est vraiment forte. Je l’ai terminé une fois et j’entame le speed run et l’objectif 100% artefact. Bon jeu à tous.    … Expand

    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.
