    Look, if you've played this already and aren't happy with the visual fidelity at the steep price then simply don't buy it.

    Other than that, it's really really good and definitely worth the price if you haven't experienced this amazing story yet.
    Enjoy!

    Es un juego increíble, su historia, su diseño artístico, los gráficos de última generación, el desarrollo de personajes, las mecánicas del juego demuestran que Naughty Dog está a otro nivel en la creación de videojuegos, muy merecido este Remakes para esta gran saga para los nuevos usuarios de PlayStation 5.

    But now that I bought it, it's a masterpiece
    I woke up late last night and ran until now
    It's really fun to do it after a long time
    The graphics have improved a lot and become more natural.
    I think it's okay to pay LOL

    This game is the beat remake that i ever see,Big and cool work of new men in Naughty Dog.This game has a lot of new.Like Physics of Carpet,new assets of guns,new "people" in Ellie,Jorl,Tommy,Genry and Sam,Maria.I think that metacritic must check if the gamer who mark a game on metacritick!I minus it's price,but then remaster is realised it was 50$ cost

    The original game was a 10/10 but since the gameplay in the PS5 version is exactly like the original and all you get are slightly improved graphics (not even mind-blowingly better, just moderately better) I don't see the price vs value as being worth it. This is a below-average game because the remake was pretty lazy.

The story alone is top notch and so good that HBO picked up the series for 2 seasons and maybe more. I have never played it fully until this remaster and it's absolutely incredible!!!

    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

    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.

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.    … Expand

    The Last Of Us is one of the greatest videogames of all time. This is the most useless remake of all time. It's literally available in the PS store why would you do this? Also, charging $70? In my country it literally costs half a minimum wage because of Sony's lack of price converting. This is just ridiculous.

    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.
