    Almost 10 years after its initial release The Last of Us remains a masterpiece, a game so important and unique that has no match. And it got even better with its new "coat of paint".

    The Last of Us Part I is a technological marvel, making Naughty Dog's classic story of survival better than it has ever been before. The visuals are sublime as is the audio, and all of the other changes make this well worth playing all over again.

    I'm sorry - I'm not joining the whole "70 USD" debate and instead focusing on the remake itself which is still the same game from 2013, but probably the best way you can play it. The new graphics and animations are simply superb and the game does provide some incentive to play it again, which is always welcomed. In short, The Last of Us Part I is simply a great game - though if you had enough of The Last of Us, it's really not a must-buy title.

    The Last of Us Part I shows that Naughty Dog’s gritty action game is still an enduring classic that hasn’t aged a day. Though that’s largely because Sony won’t allow it to, as evidenced by a mostly superfluous remake that doesn’t meaningfully improve on the game’s perfectly modern (and much cheaper) 2014 remaster. However, the project does once again push the industry forward in an important way: by raising the bar for accessibility in gaming’s past, present, and future.

    Sitting somewhere between remake and remaster, the asking price is steep, but The Last of Us Part 1 is a beautiful version of one of PlayStation’s best ever games.

    The Last of Us is back with the original game that received some audiovisual overhaul, but nothing really new for the players that already played it earlier. The story is still good, puzzles are still annoying, and there are even some new bugs.

    With a hefty price tag and less content than its more than acceptable PS4 counterpart, The Last of Us Part 1 is an entirely unnecessary remake with gorgeous graphics that only make its dated gameplay stick out even more.

It was rebuilt from the ground up with no ray traced reflections or improved combat mechanics. I’m not sure what defines a remake but in 2022 I’m expecting RT as at least an option rather than the multiple 1440p game modes….. which still drop frames in certain areas of the game that were present in the original and the remaster which still haven’t been fixed!

    The accessibility features are a huge improvement for charging $70 just for those that need support to play the same games as everyone else is an insult, like putting a pay booth on a wheelchair ramp next to some stairs!! I’m not going to call it a cash grab as Naughty Dog are not a charity and gamers like me bought the most expensive version of the game but….. at the end of the day it’s still that original PlayStation 3 game with some improved character animations rebuilt on those original PlayStation 3 gameplay mechanics!

    If you’ve never played TLOU, get the remaster as it’s the same game but much cheaper but if you need these accessibility features or prefer haptics in the controller….. wait for the sales!!

    I own the Firefly edition as I’m a games collector but for everybody else….. see above before purchasing    … Expand
