    Anyone who rates this below a 7/8 isn’t giving you their feedback from a gaming standpoint, it’s an xbot doing it for borderline miserable personality.

    Amazing work! It looks great and feels like a lot of care was taken with this remake. I played the OG when it first came out and this makes it a while new next gen experience.

    I spent $125 taking a girl to lunch today. Yes the game is $70 but it's the best version and it's the best game ever. Worth it.

    The game continues with a rich narrative experience, with striking characters and more impressive visuals. And it remains with the most heartfelt ending in gaming history.

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

I have played the game after I have already seen the tv show which obviously makes the twists and the story a bit less surprising. Even after reliving the story of Joel and Ellie for a second time, it still felt emotional and pulled me in. Naughty Dog and Sony in my opinion are one of the very few companies that still create stories, video games, and other forms of media which will be talked about for a long time in the future.
    It is a shame that such a painstakingly and meticulously crafted game sits at a 6.8 rating, but we are on Metacritic so what can we do...    … Expand

    A melhor versão de The Last of us com certeza. Uma obra prima agora com gráficos primoroso e uma qualidade invejável para a indústria que mostra ainda não ter atingido a maturidade gráfica que o jogo apresenta. Recomendado principalmente aos fãs e aos que ainda não tiveram a oportunidade de jogar esse clássico.

    The definitive edition of a masterpiece, but only need to wait a better price like $40 or $30, with that price is a correct recomendation for everyone.

It's a huge difference between PS4 Pro version and PS5. It's more like comparing Uncharted 3 and Uncharted 4, thats how much the game changed and feels. There are also a lot of new gamplay mechanics, such as when you shoot someone in a leg, and you can eventually grab them while they are down, and there a lot of different small details added, such as a full info about Joels date of birth and etc. A lot of work went into it, not less than in a remastered. These remake took as much working hours to make, as some tripple AAA games which are released and are piece of... you know what. The price is based due to a PC release, where the game launches for the first time, and it will not be fair for a PC community to pay more for a newley released game, first time on a platform, if it would've costed 40 bucks on PS. No one makes you buy it, if you have previouse version, and I'm 100% sure that the game will be released in PS Plus Extra during the year, so there is not necessity to run and buy it on a first day for 70$ if you already own the copy and played these game a few times. I did pay full price, and I Don't regret it, cause in the end of the day it's a masterpiece, and it's a great pleasure to see it graphically and technically upgraded to enjoy it again. As I said before, the release price doesn't matter, it comes from the PC release, cause in the end of the day, why would you sell a masterpiece game that releases first time on the platform that was nearly completely remade, for cheaper, than people, who exclusevly got the platform to play it at that time for full price. For everyone else who played it, or has PS 4 Versions, no need to hurry guys, you already played it, and I'm sure you will get the game for free in PS Plus in couple of months. I enjoyed every aspect of these remake, or remaster, call it whatever you want, and blaming Sony for the price, that is clearly based like these due to a PC release for a first time is OK, but it's not OK to react over the top for it, cause you are not forced to buy it on the first day of release.… 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.
