The setting of the Last of Us is very similar to some of the best Resident Evil games out there, although the story is vastly different. For those who did, there's still enough going on in the way of new gameplay mechanics, and jaw-dropping visuals that help you relive the experience.

The game now also incorporates a custom rendering tech that creates reflection effects similar to ray tracing (it is not actual ray tracing)- If you haven't played the 2013 original, The Last of Us Part I should come as a revelation in gameplay and storytelling. The game has been rebuilt on a new-generation game engine, with mostly new assets, highly-detailed environments and models vastly improved visual effects and lighting and updated gameplay. The Last of Us Part I is a 2022 remake of the PlayStation-exclusive from 2013, which is now available for the PC platform, in 2023. The original game from 2013 gathered critical acclaim, and has even been adapted to other forms of media, such as TV shows.

IntroductionThe Last of Us is a good example for how game studios from Sony's PlayStation ecosystem tend to produce releases that go beyond just game mechanics and become works of interactive art.
