The Last of Us Part 1 is an extremely faithful remake of the original. It could have benefited with improved gameplay, but what is here holds up extremely well, making it a blast to play through.
The Last of Us Part I’s real problem is that The Last of Us Remastered exists and doesn’t provide a substantial reason to choose it over Remastered given its pricing and missing content. The Last of Us remains a timeless classic, but The Last of Us Part I isn’t quite the must-have definitive version of the title.
While the original will always have its place in the hearts of many players, The Last of Us Part I is the definitive way to experience the beginning of Joel and Ellie's journey, even if the price is a little steep.
It's downright baffling how Naughty Dog went with the 'release first, fix later' mentality for its most important PC release. Even with the 14GB patch, The Last of Us Part I suffers from poor memory management, leading to a highly compromised experience fueled by stutters, sound issues, unusually long loading times, and more. Sure, underneath those problems, you've got one of the greatest post-apocalyptic survival stories ever told in gaming history, but the hurdles to get there aren't worth it. At Rs. 3,999/ $59.99, you're getting what is arguably PlayStation's first early-access PC port — a tight slap to those who avoided spoilers for nearly a decade. Unless you've got a bleeding-edge PC, don't buy this game in its current state, and pray for the issues to get resolved in time. I mean, if games like Batman: Arkham Knight and Cyberpunk: 2077 run fine and dandy now, I've got faith that The Last of Us Part I will get there eventually.
All these improvements — permadeath, DualSense, and most of all, the graphical upgrades — come at a significant cost.
It's sad to see such a beloved franchise arrive in the state it arrived on PC. Even after several fixes, there are still issues that affect the experience in a negative way, especially for those who have never played before. If possible, play the PlayStation 5 version.

As things stand right now, you should stay away from The Last of US on PC, for your sanity and your PC's health. Hopefully, a mega patch will fix all the issues but the current version of the game is far inferior compared to even the PS4 version.

This should have been a victory lap for the PC iteration of The Last of Us: Part I. From the gameplay to the characters to the story, this is one of the highlights of the past few gaming generations. The appearance on the PC should've given the game even more room to show off things like higher-quality textures and reflections along with Sony's now-standard ultrawide support. Yet the game's ability to only work with reduced risk after waiting for an abnormally long time for shader caching mars the release. The game crashes, frequent pauses in gameplay and other nonsensical bugs put into question the decision to release this despite the obvious issues. There's a chance that this will recover via patches and the game can bounce back. For now, it is sad to see that one of Sony's best games has received one of the worst PC ports thus far.
If you've never experienced it before, The Last of Us Part I is a must-buy. It's essential in any library. One of the things I liked about playing this again is that it's a nice change from a lot of the exhaustive open-world concepts out there. The level designs and settings are expansive enough for you to explore, but they're not big enough to go off the rails. You have a definite destination and mission, even if the journey carves a few pieces out of you. It's worth it. Just remember to perhaps pour yourself a drink afterward.
Yes. Nine years later, The Last of Us has done it again. At the end of our journey, there is no greater feeling when the credits run that we are facing a masterpiece. One that will last forever and has earned its own place in the Olympus of the great classics. Because The Last of Us is the starting point of a company that decided to go one step further and give us a true work of art, those imperishable jewels that, regardless of the passing of the years, will continue to mark entire generations, and like others great titles in the past, establishes a firm foundation for the argument that video games are more than just high-quality entertainment, they are true works of art. Because that, at the end of the road, is The Last of Us. A work of art. A fucking beautiful work of art.

I am still not sure how to feel about Remakes; especially about a Remake, which we already had a Remaster of. But I know The Last of Us is a masterpiece; whether it's a Remake or a Remaster. There are only a handful of games that could make me feel this entertained and emotional (and occasionally fill my eyes with tears) at the same time. This is one of them.

Retelling a bittersweet story, the remake of the 1st part of The Last of Us feels like a full budget AAA product, and can nail you to your chair for hours with its stunning new visuals and brutal gameplay.

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 if this emotional rollercoaster was just as captivating now as it was nine years ago. But in fact, it’s even more so. And that’s an impressive achievement.
The Last of Us is back with original game, that received some audiovisual overhaul, but nothing really new for the players that already played it earlier. The story is still good, puzzles are still annoying, and there are even some new bugs.

TLoU Part 1 is for super fans of the series or those who missed the first two versions, especially for accessibility reasons. For everyone else, it's hard to recommend spending the 15 or so hours it takes to play through The Last of Us yet again.
