If you had read my article, " The Real Issue With The Last of Us Remake And Naughty Dog," you would know my exact thoughts going into this release. Given that The Last of Us Remastered is so readily available on these platforms, this remake felt like an afterthought, at least to me. In my opinion, The Last of Us on PS3 and The Last of Us Remastered on PS4 and PS5, while not the eye candies they used to be, still hold up pretty well. (Picture: Naughty Dog)īefore we get into the details, it's essential to add that I was one of those people who weren't exactly sold on this being primarily a visual overhaul. Visually Evocative The Last of Us Part 1 doesn't change the original's narrative, but this visual overhaul makes every cutscene more intense and every death more painful, which makes the moment-to-moment narrative all the more engaging.

However, a lot here doesn't immediately meet the eye, and the real question here is not whether the game is worth the 70$ price but whether these subtle improvements from the original are significant or not. It makes subtle changes to the original at a hefty price of $70.

In short, The Last of Us Part 1 is a different kind of a remake, especially when compared to the likes of Resident Evil 2 or Final Fantasy 7.
