    I played this game before but as a huge fan of The Last Of Us franchise I simply HAD to get the PS5 version. It did not disappoint! Graphics and gameplay have improved massively, better than TLOU II even, graphics wise. Yes the story is exactly the same, although there is a free DLC as well. Anyone who somehow hasn’t played the game definitely should check this out, and for the rest - it’sI played this game before but as a huge fan of The Last Of Us franchise I simply HAD to get the PS5 version.

Anyone who somehow hasn’t played the game definitely should check this out, and for the rest - it’s a money question first and foremost. Secondly, it depends on how much you value graphics, melee and upgrade systems (the fighting mechanics and upgrades were really the only things I’d say changed from the gameplay perspective). Suppose for me it was nice to see Ellie and Joel from the start again as well. So I would definitely recommend this game, but with the above caveats. Expand

    This game is an absolute huge steaming pile of garbage. While the game does have significant improvements on visuals and details, it's not enough to justify the $70 price tag. The greedy developers removed the multiplayer and still had the audacity to charge $70 for this cash grab. $70 for half of the game, meaning these lazy developers only did half of the work. It's not just a cash grab,This game is an absolute huge steaming pile of garbage. While the game does have significant improvements on visuals and details, it's not enough to justify the $70 price tag. The greedy developers removed the multiplayer and still had the audacity to charge $70 for this cash grab. $70 for half of the game, meaning these lazy developers only did half of the work. It's not just a cash grab, it is a literal scam. The developers lied that the game was made from the ground up. The gameplay is about the same trash as the original. This isn't even a remake, it's a re-remaster. Where is ray-tracing? Where is the multiplayer? Why isn't there a first person mode? How about enhancing the gameplay? Oh that's right, all of that stuff actually requires hard work. One developer claimed there was no crunch in development. This whole "anti-crunch" stuff is just an excuse for developers to be greedy and lazy. I'm getting sick and tired of game journalists and SJWs encouraging these developers to become even lazier. How dare I expect hard work for $70, especially in a so-called remake.

    For goodness sake, why are the developers so obsessed with adding wrinkles onto every character. Enough already. They even go as far as to add wrinkles on the kids. Tess looks nothing like Tess. She literally looks like my next door Mexican neighbor in her late 50s cosplaying as Tess. Tommy looks like Prince Charming from Shrek. Marlene looks like Michael Jackson. Ellie literally looks like the Will Smith fish from Shark Tale. Lazy developers copied and pasted TLOU2 models, rather than improving the OG models. Ellie's lip syncing during her first line in the final cutscene of the hotel was awful and PS2-quality. That is embarrasing for a PS5 only title. The story is the typical arty farty "I'm so miserable" plot with cringeworthy dialogue. The soundtrack sounds like it's straight from a PBS documentary. The physics and AI are beyond horrible. This cash grab was clearly made for the upcoming off-brand Walking Dead show viewers to pay more.

    It boggles my mind how Naughty Dog rarely gets called out for greed when compared to other greedy developers like Rockstar and Ubisoft, even though ND are much greedier. Let me remind you that this is the same greedy company that had pay-to-win microtransactions in TLOU factions. They added loot boxes in Uncharted 4. I thought gamers hated loot boxes. They removed the multiplayer for all Uncharted remasters and charge full price, and now they have the audacity to cut out the multiplayer for this trash and charge $70. Imagine a "remake" with less content costing more than the original at launch. To make matters worse, these greedy developers had the nerve to make $80-$100 editions of this "remake". It's pathetic to have deluxe editions for remasters. Had this been EA or Activision making all these greedy decisions, the narrative would've been so different. Speaking of Activision, they only charged me $20 for MW2 campaign remastered. At least Activision understands that cutting the game in half means lowering the price.

    As I mentioned earlier, there's no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. These lazy developers tried justify the lack of multiplayer with pointless new clothes. It's pathetic that they brag about finally being able to add different clothes in cutscenes, even though other game studios have done that 20 years ago in a PS2 console. What's even more pathetic is that they brag about the useless permadeath mode and speedrun mode as new features. Yeah, because I totally can't just use a timer app and quit in any game after dying. Seeing how ridiculously long it's taking these developers to give me TLOU2 multiplayer, I am going to have high expectations for that stand-alone multiplayer. You better not disappoint me Naughty Dog. Then again I can't imagine how predatory the MTX will be for online, seeing how the greedy developers will obviously use it as a fundraiser for their AAA games, after seeing TLOU2 flooded in the bargain bin. Ellie has a cringeworthy face on the cover of this game. It doesn't help that her head is tilted downwards with that stupid ponytail. This made me remove the cover paper off the game case and rip it into pieces. I don't recommend this poor excuse of a remake at all. Just wait until it's free on PS Plus. You know you're greedy when you make EA and Take Two look like saints in comparison.

    P.S. For goodness sake Metacritic, learn to accept different opinions.

    It's extremely overpriced so i kind of understand low reviews for this one, but as a Remake, it seems to be very well done. Can't wait for the PC release, because that's the only version i care about.

    Solid linear horror game, but with a lot of forced stealth in areas, it might not be for everyone. Graphics, casting, story, and music is a perfect 10/10.

    I am rating for the original TLOU game here for a 10/10. It would be incontrovertible for TLOU to have a high praise. Well for the Remake, the graphics are still wonderful, but there’s nothing more content than the origin. And 70 dollars may be a little bit too expensive for a Remake like this. After all I had nice time with this new release.

    Many people rate this game bad just because of the price. But the game itself is still a very good remaster of the original game. If you dont like the price, just wait a few months.

    a pointless adaptation, sad to see the path of play with this type of game, the first one a jewel the second remastered made with an obvious intention but this remake only shows the worst moment of the console for generations, the game simply and simply is what same as last time, I could even say that visually some things look worse, really sad

    The good:
    A new game for PS5. Ellie no longer looks like Helen Page/Eliot Page/Alien Page
    The bad: A re-skin of The Last of Us from the PS4 remaster. The models were worsened in order to make them look older than the ones seen in their original PS3 game. The change in the model of Joel's daughter is not explained. If you want to play this game with the changes you have to pay full

The change in the model of Joel's daughter is not explained. If you want to play this game with the changes you have to pay full price (80 USD). You can't roll like in the original PS3 game or its Remastered version on PS4 (Maybe fixed with a patch). "The extra content" promised in his presentation is not in the game (perhaps it will arrive in a DLC). Follow the issue with below average enemy AI, plus follow Elly's AI Deus Ex Machina is still invisible to spores and infected in firefights, getting stuck on tables, walls and stairs or staring at a wall and staring into space in the midst of a dangerous scene. New camera angles were promised that are not there, new mechanics are not there (maybe they will come with a patch)
    It does not have multiplayer like the PS3 TLoU

    lo meh:
    Are they rating this game or by the studio or by the brand? With a 4K upscaling patch (as in the competition) you could use the same game or the game you already have purchased on PS3 and PS4 with the same result of this game at full price (80 USD, yes, you can find it on cheaper codes, but the list price in a warehouse is 80 USD). New gameplay was promised but it's still the same PS3 game.

    I give 10, because playing the game now on PS5 still gives me the same feeling of masterpiece as when I first play it on PS3 9 years ago. This intact feeling make it completely worth the money. This is one of the best video game of all time, it is now with graphics up to the latest technology.

    $125 for a remake, of a game that was remastered already. Naughty Dog have become leaches, not to mention the sexual harassment cases at their studio and the crunch time of their employees. And yet no one bats an eye as long as they keep drowning people with re-release after re-release charged at maximum price.

    In fact, in addition to the huge visual changes, the gameplay really feels different compared to the original, but this is not part 2 level. For those who are not familiar with the original, this will be a great purchase, the rest I recommend waiting for the discount.

To take away from the game's rating due to it being full price is like saying that Blade Runner on 4k Blu Ray isn't as good as the VHS version because they're selling it at full price.

    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.
