Joel and Ellie's grim journey deserves a much better PC port than this.

While 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.

Joel and Ellie are back in another The Last of Us entry but this time it’s the same game from 2013 remade from the ground up. Is the Remake worth the price considering not much has changed?

The Last of Us is an undeniable masterpiece, a well-crafted title that rightfully made a couple Stevivor staffers’ “Best Games of the Last Ten Years” lists (including my own) not too long ago. But therein lies the problem: the original Last of Us on PS3 is less than ten years old and has already been followed up with a PS4 remaster called, unsurprisingly, The Last of Us Remastered.

Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us left an impactful impression when it first released back in 2013. The adventure pushed the gaming medium forward with mature and evocative storytelling backed up by some of the highest quality production values that could be found at the time. It’s a game that lingered with me all these years later thanks to its haunting personal story and questionable ethical messaging explored brilliantly by an A-grade voice cast. Even the game’s sequel didn’t quite reso...

Taken as a whole, The Last of Us Part 1 is a very human tale that feels just as vital as ever. And with this faithful remake, here's hoping that a new generation of gamers will get to experience one of the best games ever created. Period.

Perhaps not 100% necessary, but still absolutely brilliant.

With this remake, Naughty Dog has made one of the best games of all time even better. While you may look at screenshots or snippets of video footage and think that it looks and plays just like you remember it, go back to an older version and you’ll realise just how much work has been done here. Yes, The Last of Us Remastered still holds up well, and you can stick with it if you like, but for newcomers and ardent fans The Last of Us Part I is a treat that’s worth every penny. It would be one thing...

So, if you ask me if I think it’s worth it, here’s what I’ll say: If you’re a new player, most definitely. If not, just wait. No one’s rushing you to go out and buy this one, and I think it’s clear that the target audience is geared towards bringing in new players, rather than catering to the old. It’s perfect for new fans, imperfect for old ones.

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.

The Last of Us Part I is a jaw-dropping remake of one of the best PlayStation games of all time. It's as essential on PS5 as it was on PS4 and PS3.

There’s been a lot of debate about whether The Last of Us Part 1 is really worth its asking price. After all, Sony is charging full price for a remake of a game that’s been available for $19.99 (or free) for almost a decade that has already received a successful remaster. The big question is whether or not the updated content made enough of an impact to justify the $50 price difference —

Unforgettable characters, sky-high stakes, nail-biting action, and impeccable pacing make The Last of Us Part I a superlative gaming experience in every possible sense. At every turn, it’s obvious that the team at Naughty Dog has loved, refined, and obsessed over this story for more than a decade. And thanks to a remarkably deep bench of accessibility features, more players can enjoy it now than ever before.

Few game studios have come close to matching the level of cinematic quality as Naughty Dog had some nine years ago with the original release of The Last of Us for PlayStation 3. Critics and fans alike praised the title, and that recognition was certainly well deserved. Two years later, this same title was given an overhaul for PlayStation 4 while keeping the content and experience largely identical to that fans had played only a console generation before. Now again in 2022, Naughty Dog is bringing their journey to the west to a fresh console generation that may leave some...

Naughty Dog delivers again with its timeless masterclass narrative experience, this time rebuilt from the ground up following contemporary gaming standards. With modern graphics and unparalleled performance, The Last of Us Part I is the definitive way to enjoy the multilayered and complex story of Joel and Ellie. It remains a genre-bending action survival game that challenges the status-quo by weaving together multiple elements. An expanded array of accessibility options, gameplay modifiers, and extra modes allows this remake to be experienced by anyone from any background and that's not an easy feat.

One of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, The Last of US, has been remade. Has it done enough to justify being released for the third time?

Unscored

The two most recent notable releases -- Ghost of Tsushima and Paper Mario: The Oragami King should now be well outside of that 36-hour window. However, expect to see it on other forthcoming releases like Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered and others in the near future.

The Last of Us Part 2 is not for everyone. It is a dark and riveting experiment. A symphony of madness, revenge, and brutality. It is the song of humanity’s greatest darkness, and an absolute delight to partake in. The fine folks at Naughty Dog have outdone themselves this time around. The clever blend of cinematics and gameplay all come together perfectly to create an unforgettable experience that rivals some of the greatest classics in American cinema. All that’s left to do now is see it for yourself.

Naughty Dog's PS4 swansong is an astonishing, absurdly ambitious epic that goes far and beyond what we could have imagined for a sequel to an all-time classic.
