The Last of Us Part 1

Product-wise, it showed up on time and in perfect condition for a better price than most others selling it. Now to talk about the game.It's the same beloved game, rebuilt on their new engine tech (yes rebuilt, it doesn't take a genius to see this isn't just a simple port job). Just as advertised. It admittedly feels a shame that we didn't get the dodge mechanic from part 2 but it certainly doesn't ruin the experience. This project feels anything but lazy. It's stunning, one of the most stunning games I've ever played, perhaps THE most. It's a remarkable story that stuck with me since I first played the original 7-8 years ago, and the new gunplay and feeling of the gameplay is top-notch. Everything is so fluid and feels really grounded and gritty, it's so much fun. The level of care and attention put into every corner of this game is stunning. And I'd recommend playing with a decent pair of headphones. I underestimated how cool the 3D audio tech would be, it really shines here.If you played the PS4 version and were satisfied and aren't much of a replayer, it isn't gonna be worth the price tag for you. If you played it and do really like replaying your favorites, like me, I doubt you'd be disappointed. There's plenty of replay value and they've taken advantage of all the new stuff on offer for PS5. It's also worth it if you have some disabilities that prevented you playing on PS4, because the new accessibility stuff is amazing.Essentially, it's a game for everyone who thinks the price is worth the product. A little bit like...every game ever.It doubles up as an attention magnet because anything with Last Of Us on it summons controversy, so there's some more value added :)

One of the best games ever made has been made even better.A lot of people seem to be complaining about this re-release, which some points I can understand like the price being too high for a remake of a decade old game. I however had no problem paying that price as this is one of the best games ever made and anyone who has played the original on PS3 or remaster on PS4 would understand.There have been many improvements in this remake, the main one obviously being the graphics. This is probably the best looking game out there right now, better than The last of us part 2 (tlou2) and horizon forbidden west. The facial animations are much better allowing for a much more impressive and emotional experience than the original.The gameplay also flows a lot better than the original thanks to the new AI taken from TLOU2. While there haven't been any new gameplay additions, the gameplay is just generally better than the original because of the new animations and AI. The haptic feedback is also pretty good, you can feel each movement but the use of triggers is not the best I have seen. Sometimes the triggers will just not work or the resistance is too minor to even make a difference, hopefully this is something that can be updated in a patch.I have seen complaints from people that they did not add the prone or dodge mechanics from TLOU2 which I think are pretty silly complaints. Joel is a 50 year old man while ellie is about 20 in TLOU2. How do people expect someone of Joel's age to be going prone and dodging attacks like he's some sort of ninja?I initially left this review when I still had an older 4K monitor that did not support HDR and was only 60hz. I have since gotten an OLED and replayed this remake again, it looks even better, its absolutely phenomenal. The HDR implementation is probably the best I have ever seen, it truly makes the experience completely different and makes the game look even more realistic. This game also has VRR support and runs at a consistent 70-80fps in the performance mode (1440p upscaled to 4K), even 90fps in some cutscenes which is really impressive for a game with such good graphics and fidelity, making the whole experience even better. The quality mode runs at a native 4K at 30fps with slightly better textures than performance mode but its not enough of a difference to cut your frame rate in half, and if you have a TV with VRR, it will run at 40fps in the quality mode.While this remake wasn't necessarily necessary as the original still holds up somewhat well today. This remake is great, especially for people who have never played the original and want to get into the series and experience some of the best storytelling is gaming and dont want to have to deal with the outdated graphics and mechanics of the original.Overall, a great remake that I highly recommend for new or existing fans of The Last of us.

Fantastic game! Great story and graphics, captivating. Looking forward to playing the sequal.

Masterpiece of storytelling and atmosphere. With stunning visuals, emotional depth, and compelling gameplay, it sets the standard for narrative-driven games.

Had this on the PS3, bought again on PS4 and now again on PS5. The TV show made me want to play it through again and really enjoyed the visual improvements and light touches to control improvements. Also glad it is available as a physical disc as most of my purchases are physical discs.

When I played Part 2, I actually said to myself I would love to see these graphics in the first game and play it all over again! And so Naughty dog made that happen! Honest review is the gameplay with the PS5 Dualsense is great (adaptive triggers for Bow & Guns) Graphics are beautiful enviroment and all, mosy of the character models were already made from TLOUP2, but all in all does feel more like another remaster than a remake, still had some bugs happen during my gameplay and hope that they will give an update for that. Price wise is very high, so I would wait until there's an offer of a lower price, lots of Extra content added (Podcast, Model viewer etc) and Photomode is fun.
