The Last of Us: Part I

Ok so this is interesting because I was very hesitant towards the idea of a remake of The Last Of Us. The original game only came out in 2013. Less than 10 years ago so it just seemed unnecessary to me. When the game released I was shocked to see the reception to it was actually quite good so I decided to try it for myself and honestly I am not disappointed, this game looks and plays phenomenally. I can't get over big of a graphical overhaul this game was it looks absolutely gorgeous, it is easily one of the best looking games I've played and the gameplay is quite a bit smoother than it was in the original. The enemy AI is also greatly improved and adds a bit more of an extra challenge to the game. Overall I'm very impressed with this and for me personally as such a big fan of the original game, it is definitely worth £70.

My only disappointment is that it took so long for the PC release. I heard only positive things about the game many years ago, but only now I had the opportunity to check it out for myself. I read some reviews that compared The Last of Us to A Plague Tale: Requiem. In my opinion, this is not an accurate comparison because there is a gap between them. I was able to get to know the plot while watching the series and it didn't discourage me even once while playing. The controls deserve a lot of praise, which in games of this type can spoil the game. I got one kick out of the game due to an error, but the game saves so often that I didn't feel it.

This is a beautiful adaptation of a classic video game. Ellie and Joel have never looked so realistic, along with the other characters like Henry, Sam, Tess, Bill and David. A very good connection to Part II's engine. Photo mode is great and even the collectibles are worth purchasing just for that. Well done Naughty Dog for your fabulous creation brought back to life again. Even though the original is only ten years old it has unfortunately aged a little bit and this in my opinion is well needed. Especially for those who missed the opportunity of playing it first hand. The game deserves so much credit and this will be worth playing.

From the moment this game starts within the first 5 minutes all hell has broke loose and it already has your full attention. From beginning to end it consistently keeps you on your toes and you never know what's about to happen next! Everything in this game feels so immersive from the movement to the guns, dialogue and most importantly the environment!

The graphics in this game are straight up gorgeous to look at! And the lush overgrown city is just so beautifully well done it's insane.

This game truely gives you the perfect feeling to what it would actually be like living in an apocalyptic world. Every building you go into has an insane amount of detail done to it but it also tells a story. It really shows you the panic of what a world like this would be to live in!

The infected in this game are super SUPER creepy due to how limited your resources are really making you strategise a way to get through every encounter you have before making one wrong move and dying! You always have to be quite and you're heart is racing because you know how easy it is to get yourself into a crazy situation if you make that one wrong move! But that's exactly why this game is as good as it is! And on top of the infected you also have the looters who aren't as bad but if you aren't careful with your resources and how you use them they can definitely be a challenge!

But the best part about this game is the father/daughter relationship you have with Ellie as the game goes on, at first they aren't to fond of the situation but as you both go through absolute hell together you start forming that really close friendship with her and will stop at nothing to keep each other alive!

This game is in every single way an absolute masterpiece and is 110% worth your money! 11/10 no questions asked!

This remake is simply the best version of the best game, updated facial animations propel it's storytelling to new levels while the graphics portray the disturbingly beautiful reality of the game's world.

Many people will point to the price tag as being too high and I think most will agree but I'm reviewing the game itself and it's simply perfection. When you remake an already perfect game there's only so much that needs to change and although some may find this disapointing. I think the reality is that the game needed little change, these next gen improvements bring the experience to new heights and ultmattely creeating one of the best looking games to have been released. The price tag is a boundry to many but when the price becomes more afforsable I think we all owe it to ourselves to experience this masterpiece either for the first time or once more because ultimately the true value of a game is subjective to you.
