The Last of Us Part 1 was always going to be a divisive title, that's a given. The Quality of Life updates themselves are incredible from the new AI to the combat upgrades but it's still the exact same game you experienced in 2013. If anything, it's a testament to the wizardry at Naughty Dog and how far they've come.

Dexerto - Daniel Megarry - 8.5 / 10
The Last Of Us is as brutal, challenging, and enjoyable as it always has been. With hugely improved visuals, small but meaningful gameplay changes, and a great range of accessibility options, this Part 1 Remake is without a doubt the definitive version for both newcomers and longtime fans.

GamesHub - Edmond Tran - 5 / 5
The Last of Us Part 1 doesn't create any lasting memories about the experience that weren't already there from the beginning. For that reason, my thoughts about the game's existence as a product remain dubious. But as a creative work in and of itself, The Last of Us is still exceptional, and I'm happy to have had reason to experience it again, in a new context and an updated format.

Nextgenbase - @Winstano - 10/10
A true remake of a seminal game, The Last of Us Part 1 doesn't bring anything new to the table from a story perspective, but what it does do is provide the definitive version of one of my favourite titles of all time. Visually breathtaking, it belies its nine year old roots to deliver a spectacular experience. Whether it's worth the money is up to the individual, but Joel and Ellie's story will never look, or feel, better than this.

Gaming Nexus - Henry Yu - 10 / 10
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.

GamingTrend - Richard Allen - 80 / 100
As a game, The Last of Us: Part 1 still deserves a high score after all these years, but I give that score hesitantly, as I am acutely aware that previous releases offer more content and that this release was not created for those who have already played through and enjoyed the game in the past, but rather to welcome in new players or for those who wish to harness the full power of their PS5. While this is the most technically impressive version of The Last of Us that we will likely ever get, it is anchored down by its previous releases, while simultaneously missing important components those versions had, namely the superb multiplayer. Despite some interesting bonus features, new cosmetic items, vastly improved AI, and a few quality-of-life changes, there may not be enough here to justify the purchase for anybody except newcomers. That said, the impressively robust suite of accessibility options is a welcome addition worthy of praise and will hopefully provide an opportunity for a new generation of fans to experience this story.

Merlin'in Kazanı - Ersin Kılıç - Turkish - 82 / 100
Last of Us Part I has managed to modernize the game that was released 9 years ago in terms of gameplay and visuals. Although there is a price problem for those who have just played the Remastered version, I can say that it is an adventure that should not be missed by those who have never played it.

Multiplayer First - James Lara - 8.5 / 10
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.

One More Game - Chris Garcia - Buy
It bears repeating that The Last of Us Part I is an absolutely essential experience. There are no two ways about it; the $70 tag will be a sore point for those who have already played past iterations, which merits waiting for a sale, but the quality and experience brought about by a Naughty Dog release are unmatched.

The visual upgrades are truly noteworthy, upping the drama of each scene and doing wonders for an already stellar script. From the heart-wrenching opening scene with Sarah to the many tense conversations between Joel and Ellie, each line delivered hits harder, making for an unforgettable playthrough.

The suite of accessibility options also opens the game up to a much wider audience. Not content with just copying from The Last of Us Part II, Naughty Dog has also improved on it by adding options like allowing the players to feel the emotion of the lines delivered through haptic feedback.

Whether or not the game is worth the price tag will be a tricky argument that will persist long after its launch, but The Last of Us Part I is an exceptional title that can stand on its own merits and is the best version of a classic that will be enjoyed by a whole new generation of players for years to come.

PSX Brasil - Paulo Roberto Montanaro - Portuguese - 100 / 100
Although it doesn't bring as many new features as one might expect from a remake, The Last of Us Part I is an absolute and sublime spectacle from start to finish. It retains all the best qualities that made it a absolute success in its original release and it improves on the technical details that add value to this visceral and impactful journey.

PlayStation Universe - John-Paul Jones - 9 / 10
There's no denying that The Last of Us Part I might be a tough sell to folks who expected a reworked content offering in line with the overhauled audiovisual presentation and other technical advances. For those with accessibility needs, the lucky few who have yet to experience The Last of Us at all or even just the number of players who want to immerse themselves in the ultimate form of Naughty Dog's opus, The Last of Us Part I makes a more than compelling case for its existence and stands shoulder to shoulder with the best games on PS5.

PowerUp! - Adam Mathew - 9.5 / 10
Part I is like the in-game axe upgraded with a roll of tape and a pair of scissors. Obviously, the original item was massively bloody capable already—of near perfect design in form and function. Even still, this thing has now somehow become waaay sharper than any sane person could have imagined. Give it even half a chance to get a piece of you, and it's gonna cut deep.

The Last of Us is still a powerful, hard-hitting story that still punches you in the gut to this very day. This remake isn't just a classic of yesteryear, but it's equally a modern-day classic of today.

Too Much Gaming - Carlos Hernandez - 8 / 10
Everything I loved about the first game is intact, now with a visual uplift and a few enhancements. But the changes in The Last of Us Part 1 didn't greatly enhance the finer points of this masterpiece, to an extent that I wouldn't recommend this release right off the gate.

WCCftech - @KaiPow - 9/10
Worthy of being hailed as a potential Game of the Generation when it was first released, The Last of Us Part I is fully remade for a new generation of PlayStation consoles. With some of Naughty Dog's best graphical tech to date, this is one you'll have to see to believe.

Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus - 9 / 10
That leads to The Last of Us Part I being both the best version of the game and also extremely difficult to recommend unless money is not a concern. The Last of Us has aged well enough that you don't lose a ton playing the Remastered version, unlike the similar remake Demon's Souls, which took a cult PS3 game that many people had never played and gave it a modern updated release. If you're willing to wait for a price drop or sale, Part I becomes far more appealing because it is a wonderful improvement to an already impressive game. Aside from cost, there's no reason to go back to the older versions, and The Last of Us remains one of the best games in the Sony library.

"The Last of Us Part I" is the definitive way to experience Joel and Ellie's journey together. With all of its new bells and whistles, series veterans will fall in love with the gameplay, story and characters all over again. For newcomers, "Part I" is an excellent entry point into the franchise as its impeccable presentation makes for an unforgettable adventure.

The greatest video game created. If it's dinged, hopefully it's just because of price (I haven't watched a single preview of the remake gameplay, so praying there's no technical hiccups).

I hope we'll have more angles like "Reviewing Last of Us in 2022 (its legacy, what other studios did since 2013 and how it holds un in that regard) than just "It's the same, but with more pixels".

Reviewers don't care about price or improving gameplay mechanics. The game looks great and it's not missing any content, so it'll review just as high as the og/remaster.

I'm betting on 89… Remakes like this one are so tough to guess when it comes to critical reception

Watching that 7 minute clip of Bill's town got me so nostalgic for this game. Remake looks great, can't wait to dive into this one in a couple months. TLOU is an all-timer in my book

I thought this came out Friday, 2nd September? Not 6th September like in the OP?

Damn, still will be picking up. It's time for the replay.

It's gonna be in the 90s, it's literally TLOU1 but better. Very few reviews are going to knock it down for being a remaster of a game you can play right now for cheap and I bet the words "if you haven't played TLOU1 pick this up immediately" will be in several reviews.

This is about to become the definitive way to experience TLOU as the franchise blows up on TV. Hope it's a good one.

It's a better version of a legendary game, although it can be hard to appreciate the improvements without the original to reference. It's the game you remember, which is both a good and bad thing.

The Last of Us Part 1 PS5 Review

Without reference to the original, it's not always easy to appreciate The Last of Us: Part I's impressive improvements. This is a much better game than the original, though, with stronger art direction, smoother gameplay, and much more emotional cinematics. Naughty Dog has done justice to the original by improving on it in almost every regard, but it remains the game you remember from 2013. At a more competitive price point, it'd be essential – as it is, it's a pricey upgrade on a bona fide classic.

Gameplay will show its age a bit but the story and characters will still more than hold up, especially with the hugely improved performances from the remake.

And why aren't people allowed to rightfully complain about the price of the game?

I guess we should "don't think, just hype product and consume products"

Anyways, excited for this to come to PC. Hope the wait isn't too long.

Price has nothing to do with the quality of the product but the perception of ROI. It'd be like a movie reviewer docking a film points because movie tickets are expensive or something. It's irrelevant to the quality of the experience.

Price is fine to criticize but it shouldn't be part-and-parcel of a game review. This ain't a "price review."

Low to Mid 80s. There'll be lots of criticism over the price, lack of multiplayer, and whether it's necessary, but the core story is still excellent, while the presentation has improved.

The more footage I see of this, the more I think it's not going to be a 90+ game. It truly looks like The Last of Us with a new coat of paint. It doesn't look like the 2013 gameplay has been updated in any meaningful way.

Still, it was one of the best games ever made when it came out in 2013, so it's still going to review well. I'm going with an 87 MC score.

I'm gonna guess mid-80s. Just haven't seen enough to really justify remaking this so soon, and I think some of the sheen of TLOU comes off when revisited in a modern context.
