For those who played the game a whole while back as well as new players, it’s a great chance to experience the game on PC.

- 9.0A gorgeous and well-honed remake of one of the biggest boppers in the PlayStation pantheon, The Last of Us Part I is the best way to play – or replay – Naughty Dog’s esteemed survival classic. The striking improvements it makes to its completely rebuilt world are complemented by the subtle refinements of its characters’ performances, and while it isn’t retrofitted with every one of the sequel’s best changes, the upgrades to movement and AI make a welcome difference in an already outstanding game.
- 8.0The Last of Us Part I could have launched cleaner, to be sure. But my personal experience with the game was far better than some of what I’m seeing reported online. I was experiencing a stellar game for the first time, and it behaved itself for me well enough that I had a great time.
- 6.5Of course, the combat was great. Aiming ranged weapons with the mouse was fluid, easy, and effective. When it wasn’t stuttering, that is. Melee combat was repetitive but satisfying. The game does a great job of making the impacts feel damaging using audio and camera effects. Furthermore, stealth and movement translated great to the PC version, making each encounter feel exciting and engaging despite the issues that may or may not show up during play.
- 8.0This is something that should hopefully be addressed by future patches, along with a host of other performance improvements and optimizations to bring this port to a level of quality we've come to expect from Naughty Dog. It's disappointing after the relatively good work done on the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection that The Last of Us Part I seems a long way away from being a smooth experience for most players.
- 4.5While The Last of Us Part I is arguably the game’s best version, its PC port is incredibly sub par and currently needs a lot of fixing.

Worth the wait!
I always wanted to play TLoU:R on the PS4 way back but haven't got the the time and the console. Good thing they remade it for the PS5, talk about timing. While the shooting is hard using the controller _(coz i game on the pc and the ps5 is my first console)_ i find the story quite well told and executed and is a 9 for me. Gameplay was a 8.5 coz im not rly a fan of zombie games, i also find the variety of zombies lacking. I cant compare the graphics from the remaster but i give Part 1 to be a 8.5. Overall a solid 8.5 for me, it might be a 9 if it were longer, nabitin ako! its a bit short! Now im looking forward on continuing joel and ellie's **struggle** on Part 2.
The Last of Us Part I
Ok, I bit. Now that the original **The Last of Us** was remade with current gen graphics I finally decided to play this modern classic. Please note that my review is based on my personal experience with this game - and exclusively this version of the game. I am well aware that the sole existence of this game is caked in a medium-sized controversy questioning it's purpose to be solely monetary. I can't personally speak on whether this game is a good remake or whether considering it's context as arguably a "lazy remake" it's worth 70€. It might not be. After all I could have Playstation Plus'd a slightly inferior version for free. But to put it a bit cryptic and in reference to the game in front of us - I kinda Joel'ed out in the end and went with it anyway. Not sure, if people will get what I'm trying to say here. It made sense in my head. Anyway, do you like zombie movies? If yes, well that's what you get. Flesh-eating, brain dead, animalistic zombies. Initially it was a bit disappointing, if I'm honest. The Last of Us does little to switch the zombie lore up. There's spores causing infections. There's that. The clickers and bloaters are ominous and fill the screen with dread everytime they jumpscare you with their trypophobia inducing designs. But let's be honest, it's only that much different from a Romero movie or the Walking Dead. But what The Last of Us lacks in it's predictable setting, it perfectly makes up for in terms of characters and themes. I was initially a bit on the fence with it, but the closer you drag yourself towards the end of the story, the neater it gets wrapped up in it's thematic and kinda philosophical implications that makes all the close calls worth it. Story-wise we follow Joel - a grieving father who lost his daughter the day the zombie apocalypse broke out and has since led a life of cruelty and (if we may even still call it that?) crime to ensure his survival in the new landscape. Some chapters in he is joined by Ellie. A 14-year old, who's existence implies the potential of a cure of the infections as a zombie bite failed to turn her and got subdued in her body. The year-long journey the two undertake in the game is motivated by having Ellie become a source of research for developing a vaccine, but as you may have noticed the path is riddled with fallbacks. If there was ever a game where the term "This is why we can't have nice things" felt right at home, it's this (well story-wise, gameplay-wise it's Crash Bandicoot 4). The world has turned violent and cruel: Some people became clickers and bloaters, others cold-hearted survivalists and killers. Story is very much an integral part to the gameplay and the game makes sure the graphics back it up in the most immersive way. While one may argue that video games are still some steps away from achieving photorealism, The Last of Us Part 1 is perhaps as close as we may get in 2022 (Well, there was also Horizon Forbidden West). The immersion doesn't just stop at pretty colors and detailed surfaces. TLOU probably more than any game before it tries to make you experience what the main characters are experiencing. Ever wanted to hang from the cieling upside down shooting at approaching zombies? Or slowly avoid obstacles with a giant hole in your stomach as conscienceness is slowly leaving your body? Probably not, but in TLOU you will. Surprisingly I haven't just found myself immersed in the story, but also in the first person shooter segments. TLOU is not your typical ego shooter game. Sometimes combat is better avoided, sometimes a fight or flight response is all you have. The sheer weight of the scenarios you will find yourself pushed into will make your satisfaction shoot through the roof everytime you headshot a clicker, stealth choke a guy to death or just barricade a door shut so a bloater can't come after you. Anyway, The Last of Us Part I may in fact not be the last of The Last of Us games I played and might very well just be a part I for me. Game was a blast, fun puzzles and battles, I saw monkeys, petted a giraffe, shot some guy's nuts off... Joel still hasn't sang and Ellie can't swim for sh\*t, but we'll make up for it in part II. Can't wait to see what Joel and Ellie are up to in part II. Together. As the dream team. It's bound to be great.
