Such a perfect game. Full of artistry, emotions and memories. I've played it three times already and each time it feels as powerful and as perfect as the last time.

The Last of Us Part 1 is a masterpiece, blending intense action, emotional storytelling, and stunning visuals. Its post-apocalyptic world feels hauntingly real, with memorable characters and morally complex decisions. The gameplay is gripping, and the bond between protagonists Joel and Ellie is deeply moving. A must-play experience.

Exceptional 10/10. PC maxed out graphics. Story telling, the maturity level, the pacing... all perfectly done. This game is a masterpiece *chef's kiss*.
Man... this game hits you hard. I was not expecting such a deep plot.

The character's development is really impressive. The script uses all elements of cinema and gaming to reach its point. Also, the improved facial expressions due to its new engine elevate the details expressed by the acting. Obviously, it won't matter if the overall direction is not that good. I loved the dialog and was really into it. Feel so real that everything looks unclear - in a surprising way.

The graphics are amazing. I was getting impressed almost every time, due to the art direction in the streets or the expressions. Water, grass, sky, and textures, and more aligned with the audio design, adding a lot to the atmosphere factor.

The gameplay could be a little better since the dual sense controller's sensitivity was a little slow. But I liked the challenge overall since you must learn how to be stealthy to mitigate ammo.

Anyway, I highly recommend it. But be aware. The PC port is not good right now.
