    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.

    One of the greatest narratives of all time in a video game. Nearly 10 years on and it still floors me how deep I can connect to these characters and feel for them through and through.

While they do substitute that with the DLC "Left Behind" it still does not justify the $70 price tag AT ALL!

    What's kept from the original story remains brilliant, with some tweaks to combat and a new upgrading system that is taken from Part II. All in all a great experience, just wait for the price to drop to a reasonable $30-40 which is what it should have been to begin with.    … Expand

    Solid remake of the visuals and Joel’s movement but they should have expanded some of the levels to justify the price. The game is extremely generous in resource drops which kills some of the tension.

    Niepotrzebne odświeżenie gry która wciąż dobrze wygląda na ps4. Ale skoro już jest to cena powinna być niższa, oprawa audiowizualnia robi wrażenie.

    From a fan of the series, I want to be fair with this review. Game was great, and now it's greater. Is it worth 80 euros, only for fans I think. So I gave it a good 8

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ll start by prefacing with what pretty much EVERYBODY has stated before. 70 dollars is too much, and it should be closer to 40-50 dollar range.
    New stuff:
    Joel can smash windows and glass objects and climb through, akin to Part 2.

    The camera has been reworked to be more dynamic during gameplay and combat.

    The duelsense feature has been integrated to even feel when raindrops hit your head, and is an impressive display of the ps5s tech prowess.

    The same dualsense plays a role in feeling the impact of combat. The redone graphics provide impressive facial features and some animation have actually been ported from part 2, notably during Ellie’s winter portion or whenever Joel smashes a window or door.

    Enemies will now do a 180 turn around during patrol (also from part 2).

    The weapons have all been redesigned to allow visible upgrades from the redesigned work bench. The game came with the standalone dlc “left behind” (an entertaining story in its own right). Also resigned with all the above. Some specific character models from part 2 have been inserted for eagle eyed players (supposedly Seth is in the game). The surgeon is also more overtly Abby’s father from part 2 flashbacks. Can’t forget about accessibility. Everything from part 2 pertaining to that is here as well, even included extras and renders with an improved photo mode. Not new: Most of the animations you’ll see are just the same ones from the original, just beefed up with good controls and camera work. Same with voice performances. The bad:
    Already mentioned at beginning.

    I refuse to give this game a perfect score (as I don’t believe in them), but credit where it is due: the game is considered one of the best of all time for a reason and those reasons are all there, just prettier. It’s a fun game for anyone new to the series, but returning players should wait for a price drop or stream it on psplus premium if/when it’s available.    … Expand

    TLOU series are among my favorite of all time. This game updates the graphics of the 2013 masterpiece...to PS4 graphics. I have to say I was disappointed at times that this is the exact same game but better looking. Built from the ground up for PS5 is just a lie, cause this game has just the same graphics of TLOU2 but with worse AI. I am completely sure this game is capable of running on a PS4.

The game is great as always, you can't expect anything other than this issue, but in my opinion, 70$ is too much, it is worth 50$, and I had two expectations: one, that more details would be worked on, and one, that the feature of the system for making space in version 2 would be added to it. And there are still a bunch of bugs, I wish they would have been fixed, otherwise they don't have any problems, this game is great as always.… Expand

    I guess the problem is the 70USD price and the "remake" product tag. If inserting the ps4 disc of the remastered version they would have given you like a 10USD option to upgrade into Ps5 digital version, I would have given the game a solid 10. It's too expensive for a graphic and creative upgrade that is comparable to fan made MODs and has nothing to do with a "remake".

    The game structure is intact, for those who completed the game several times, we can tell everything is exactly the same. I was waiting for a new DLC story based like left behind, the story about Marlene crossing the US after getting shot, her journey to St Marys hospital, or maybe a history about Joel & Tommy surviving during the 20-year period after that night at the game's intro. But no, nothing. Not a single thing is changed. That's why this game sparked the discussion about what is a remake and what is a remaster. I'm thinking about bluepoint games and demon souls, they kept the original essence while creating a whole new game, a complete overhaul of the game structure, that's the remake for me.

    I'm still giving it an 8 because I really enjoyed how the Ps5 underlines the tech to boost the storytelling and gameplay experience. There are slight changes, the way Joel expresses his pain in his facial features is amazing and is something new. The haptic feedback & the triggers were nice additions too for "feeling" the world and objects you interact with. It's hard to come to terms with the 70 USD package. I feel they took advantage of my love of this game and really profited from that. I bought the original, and then the remastered, and now a 70USD remake with no upgrade path for previous owners and no additional content. Likewise, I know nobody forced me into buying those games, I guess when you love something you are hooked on it. I love Naughty Dog.    … Expand

    Very well made, hugely overpriced, and falsely marketed as remake, remaster of a great game, that no-one needed. If you played it in the past, move along as there nothing worthwhile here for you. If you didn't played tLoU before buy much cheaper PS4 version or wait for big sale (like -75% at minimum).

    I played the original game when it first came out. I remember really enjoying it, but recall few of the details. I played Part 2 a couple years back and while the gameplay was exceptional, they completely ruined the story.

This is not a review of the price of the game because that is stupid - if it’s more expensive than what you’re willing to pay, then don’t buy it.

    The game aged decently, but I wouldn’t say it aged well. Truthfully even in this remastered version, it still feels like you’re playing a PS3 game. Some of the mechanics, animations, fluidity, and AI feel a bit clunky. Not unplayable or hugely immersion breaking, but definitely noticeable when you can’t leave a room when your NPC companion is standing in the doorway. This would have been a far better release if they added the fluid gameplay and AI from the second game. Regardless, it doesn’t take away from the game. So essentially the only difference here are the graphics, which really do look excellent. Visually the game doesn’t stand out on top of the pack of next gen games, but it’s definitely on par where it should be. The game is all about the voice acting, the characters, and the narrative, which all hold up extremely well and still surpass most games since it’s release. With all things considered, it’s as good as I remember it. I never thought it was the best game ever, but I remember thinking it was a fantastic experience, and my sentiment remains the same.

    People review bombing because they don’t want to pay full price are stupid. Is this a fantastic release - absolutely. Was this a necessary release - probably not, but let the market speak for itself with sales.    … Expand

    Si le gap visuel est bien réel (notamment sur les effets de particules, les modèles 3D ou les effets de lumières), que le jeu reste excellent, il manque quand même un réel travail pour en faire un "remake". Ce serait plus pour moi un remaster, un affinage visuel, rien de plus.

    J'ai refait le jeu avec plaisir et j'ai même enchaîné sur le 2ème dans la foulée, que je n'avais pas refait depuis sa sortie.

    Difficile de noter ce jeu. Il mériterait une mauvaise note pour son prix largement trop élevé pour le boulot accompli. Je lui mets donc 8, soit tout juste le "vert" pour signifier qu'il reste un excellent jeu, une valeur sûre, mais que pour ceux qui l'ont déjà fait, son prix et ses faibles améliorations le rendent totalement dispensable.    … Expand

    Is a coat of fresh paint on a fairly recent game worth $70? Not if you've played the remastered version on PS, however I do recommend it to those who haven't played it yet and I'm jealous if it's your first time.

    I'd give it a 10 if it wasn't a remake that nobody asked for but it's still one of the best games I've ever played, just with better graphics.

La pecca a parer mio e di altri è il gameplay; è si più fluido/scorrevole rispetto all'originale, anche l'intelligenza artificiale, dei nemici e degli alleati è superiore, ma non come il secondo capitolo ( la migliore in circolazione insieme a red dead redemption 2 ), il fatto però è che non c'è nulla di nuovo, del tipo la schivata, che era un' aggiunta molto bella nel secondo capitolo, è proprio ciò che mancava, perché oltre a quello il gameplay per il suo stile non necessita di altro, neanche dello sdraiarsi, cosa che era ottima per il 2, ma inutile qua nel primo capitolo essendo perennemente accompagnati da Ellie, averla aggiunta avrebbe reso il gioco molto più pieno di bug.
    In sintesi il gioco è un 8, se il gameplay avesse avuto l'aggiunta della schivata, una IA più simile a quella del secondo e una quantità minore di bug ( perché purtroppo ne ha di più rispetto al gioco originale ), sarebbe stato un 10.

    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.
