The Last of Us Part 1

January 20, 2025 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

The Last of Us is one of the few major Sony franchises I haven't played. I watched my brother play most of it way back on the PS3, but I never played the original release myself, nor the PS4 remaster. This remake of the remaster came free with my graphics card, so I'm finally giving it a shot.I've only played the opening bit so far, with very little actually gameplay, but the Sony formula is on full display here, which makes sense because TLOU is where the formula really got its start. It's a slow, cinematic, over the shoulder experience with a focus on storytelling over gameplay. I don't have much to say about the gameplay or story so far, but man, this game looks incredible. This is probably the best-looking game I've ever played with everything cranked up to max. My computer gets a little noisy while playing, but it runs at around 100fps and feels great.

Verdict: Keep Playing

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
