Few games have been as defining of a way of making video games as The Last of Us. Today comes to stores what we could consider as one of the most influential titles of the history of the last decade, which has helped to raise the best developers to Olympus to a company that, let’s not forget, had some really fun beginnings with real fiascoes like Way of the Warrior for 3DO.
Three reasons to play it again on PS5
Though The Last of Us It is a name that has appeared repeatedly in the media to refer to practically anything, the same you think it’s not worth enjoying this wonder again, now with the improvements added to the PS5 version. So we have started to think and we have decided to offer you three compelling, decisive reasons to relive the misadventures of Joel and Ellie. Behold.
1. A video game classic
The first of all the reasons that occur to us to play with this The Last of Us of PS5 is that We are facing one of the most important launches in recent history. And it has not only been influential due to the success it obtained, practically instantly, but also as a definer of what it means to tell a story in a different way, facing taboos that were previously impossible to find in a video game. We are facing a serious, adult, profound story with solid flesh and blood characters who want to go beyond simple conversation to continue hitting shots in the next phase, and who try to draw us a precise map of how they think and feel.
Whether you played it or not, this Naughty Dog masterpiece is a must-have station in which all gamers must get off. At least once in life.
2. The best possible version
Surely many of you have the feeling that not much time has passed since this The Last of Us but we must remind you that it did so, neither more nor less, than in the month of June 2013. Almost ten years ago! Just a few months before Sony launched its brand new PS4. That version already squeezed practically to the maximum the capabilities of PS3hence its consecration as a true myth in the history of video games.
The only mistake that we can blame Sony for is that given the success of The Last of Us on PS3, ran like crazy to release a PS4 remaster as soon as possible, just a year after its arrival on the original console. That happened in August 2014 and, let’s face it, it was a vitaminized version to satisfy new users of the then new generation.
Now, on PS5, we have the version we deserved of the gamewith a sensational adaptation to the technical capabilities of the next-gen and squeezing to the maximum everything that could be overcome from the original game. So yes, even if you played with The Last of Us on PS3 or PS4, the experience with this new version that comes out today is practically incomparable.
3. Preparation for the HBO series
The size reached by The Last of Us is such that, as you know, next year a series based on this first video game will premiere on HBO Max, the one that tells us about the adventures of Joel and Ellie, so replaying this remake will serve to refresh the events that take place throughout the title. In this way we will once again feel that anguish of the first phases with the arrival of the zombies, or that exploration of places as colossal as the downtown of a city that has been devoured by nature.
