![]() While Naughty Dog confirmed earlier this year that it's working on a standalone follow-up, The Last of Us’ engaging multiplayer was a rare gem in an era of needlessly tacked on online modes. However, by the end of the 12-15 hour main campaign, you will have had your fill of repositioning ladders and moving dumpsters to get to higher ground.ĭisappointingly, the Factions multiplayer mode from the original game hasn’t made the jump to PS5. Enemy encounters can be extremely intense, so these sections offer a pleasant respite and allow you to catch your breath. Outside of combat, The Last of Us Part I offers a range of simple navigation puzzles and opportunities to scavenge for resources. However, players should note that the original Last of Us levels weren’t designed with these features in mind, so their exclusion is understandable. That means there's no dedicated dodge button, and Joel still lacks the ability to go fully prone.

If you have the nerves, playing on a higher difficulty is something I’d strongly encourage, as it’s where the gameplay truly shines. This makes landing every shot vitally important, and leads to some genuinely tough crafting decisions. On easier difficulties, the game showers you with ammo and crafting materials, but on harder settings resources are extremely limited. ![]() Popping off a devastatingly brutal headshot is highly satisfying, and luring enemies into a well-placed trap feels similarly rewarding.

But the game also shines during hectic firefights. Of course, your best attempts to be sneaky won’t always work out. ![]() The feeling of slowly sneaking through a bandit encampment or a nest of infected clickers without being spotted is as thrilling now as it was in 2013. Stealth should be your preferred method of engagement, and sometimes the best course of action is to avoid combat altogether. While you do have the option to go into an encounter guns blazing, the game incentivizes a more considered approach. The original game is almost a decade old, but The Last of Us Part I still feels every bit like a modern release in terms of gameplay. ![]()
