The Last of Us é mais do que um jogo, é uma experiência. Sua história extremamente marcante torna este um dos jogos mais imersivos de todos os tempos.

Confesso que, para mim, é a realização de um sonho. Desde 2013, lançamento do título original, tinha a vontade de jogar esse game, porém, como nunca tive um Playstation, nunca tive a oportunidade.

Não joguei no lançamento, então não sei dizer sobre sua performance, mas jogando em 2023, o game se saiu bem, mantendo uma média de 50/60 fps no alto com Ray Tracing ligado em um Ryzen 3 3200g e uma RTX 3050.

🎮Este texto não é uma análise do jogo, mas sim uma breve reflexão sobre a necessidade e a qualidade desse remake.

Sobre a necessidade: Não sou desenvolvedor, então não posso dizer se era possível simplesmente portar a versão de PS3 ipsis litteris para a nova geração e PC. Talvez houvesse algum aspecto técnico que dificultasse o porte, ou a Sony quis simplesmente recauchutar o jogo e vender a preço cheio.

Mas sempre dá uma coceirinha pensar que um jogo tão novo já está recebendo um remake, enquanto outros jogos que mereciam mais estão abandonados.

Sobre a qualidade: Eu joguei no PC mais ou menos um ano depois do seu lançamento, o que deu tempo suficiente para eles consertarem o jogo. Nesse quesito é inquestionável, o jogo esbanja qualidade técnica.

Para mim, que zerei The Last of Us mais de sete vezes no PS3, foi um pouco difícil encontrar motivos que justificassem jogar esse remake. Se não fosse a minha vontade incessante de platinar todos os jogos que existem, talvez nunca tivesse jogado. Mas, no geral, valeu muito a pena.

🏆O 100% do jogo é ridículo de simples. Jogos da Sony não costumam ter troféus de dificuldade. A parte mais chatinha vai ser pegar todos os coletáveis, mas um guia resolve isso rapidinho.

I remember watching a streamer play the remastered version of this game back in 2020 something and I stayed up nights watching this gameplay. At that time I've barely played any pc game and I never thought I could be able to play this game. So I knew the story of part 1 and part 2 both before finally playing this on PC.

I gotta say Last of Us as a game has left such an incredible emotional and personal impact on me. No piece of media has ever done that before. I absolutely love Ellie and Joel. Joel was one my favourite Protagonists/Antagonist (depends on which pov you think). And Ellie is my favourite female fictional character of all time.

So I'm pretty bias when it comes to the TLOU games. The game from the beginning was so well done. The pacing flawless, the storytelling chef's kiss and the characters were top notch. The gameplay is easy to follow and I was completely awed even knowing what was going to happen in the game.

Graphics - 4/5 The graphics in this game is beautiful and awe provoking. The vegetations, character detailing, diverse landscapes etc really adds to the immersion. Though the optimization on PC is really poor even after nearly 1 year of patches.

Story - 3.5/5 The story is good, especially the "Left Behind" dlc, moderately emotional story, but lacks the depth in Joel's character, and overall complexity, even if we consider the 2013 release. It doesn't really feel like how the majority of the reviews said about this game as outstanding. Also its predictable to the very end with no choices for the player and also pretty small storywise. Like indie titles. Also Joel should have died at the end, that would have been wayy more emotional.

Mechanics - 2.5/5 This game suffers heavily from really poor gameplay mechanics, the gunplay is not really satisfying, the melee combat is repetitive and boring, but the worst part of this game is the stealth system, its utterly tiring, while considering that this game was meant to be stealth centered. Also I hated the immersion breaking due to the other characters bumping into the zombies and nothing happens for that. It should have been player controlled on how the other characters move when they are in stealth.

Overall - 3.5/5 Before I played this game I heard a lottt of people saying how this game is a masterpiece and truly one of the best games ever. But I disagree with that completely, this game even if we consider 2013 release have nothing new to offer, a predictable short story made into a 12 hour game which barely considers as a AAA title, lackluster gameplay and little to nothing environmental storytelling with pretty much non existent soundtrack, every aspect of this game shouts mediocre. Even the remake suffers from severe technical issues upon launch and still not fixed with no improvement on the gameplay. Not a memorable game.

NOTES - 1. They really marketed this game well, other game devs should learn from the marketing of this game and how it convinced nearly all of playstation gamers to view this as an outstanding piece of art.
2. This might have been the most overrated piece of game ever (for history books).
3. My theory for why this game is praised so heavily - It was a playstation only title when it launched and stayed that way for 10 years, the first surge of reviews might have been fake so it brought the attention of the most casual of gamers, and as most of them haven't really played a lot of games only made them appreciate this one wayy more.
4. It is kind of proven these days how the game awards are kind of fake, and this game being heavily awarded just proves the point even more.
