Now Playing: The Last of Us Part I Video Review
In essence, this is the same Last of Us you may remember, but with a fresh update. The game doesn't include multiplayer, however, in case that is important to you.
GameSpot's The Last Of Us Part 1 review scored it an 8/10. Reviewer Jake Dekker wrote that the updates that Naughty Dog delivers make «one of the most memorable games of the PS3 era even better.»
The Last of Us Part 1 is coming to PC at a later date. Additionally, Naughty Dog is making a standalone Last of Us multiplayer game, while a Last of Us TV series is coming to HBO in 2023.
