It feels like the perfect game for Sony’s PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra service (after you apply that PlayStation Plus discount code ), which would have enticed more subscribers to the service and subsequently encouraged people to check out The Last of Us 2.
It doesn’t help that The Last of Us Part 1 is releasing on the back of the PS5 price increase in most countries, making its $70 price tag seem all the more egregious. And that’s why it only gets an honorable mention in our best PS5 games list. Still, despite the vast improvements to the game’s visual fidelity and some pleasing quality-of-life improvements, it’s too expensive to recommend wholeheartedly. The Last of Us Part 1 is the definitive version of Naughty Dog’s iconic third-person adventure game – there’s no doubt about that. The game was released on PS3 in 2013 and then again on PS4 as a Remastered edition in 2014. Is the game really worth it?Īfter all, this is the third version of The Last of Us. You can argue back and forth whether a game that isn’t even a decade old is worthy of being remade, but it’s the $70 price tag that has been the main target for detractors. The Last of Part 1 shouldn’t be a controversial remake, but sadly it is.
