However, a Reddit user, recently, shared their experience with The Last of Us Part I on the PS5 and it seems like there’s more to the remake than the pricing itself.

The player mentioned that anyone who’s calling out Naughty Dog for putting up a game for $70 should try it out first. As per the user, the developer has done a remarkable job in making the remake flawless and amazing. It looks like this gamer resides in the European region as they stated that they bought the remake for £70.

Moreover, while praising The Last of Us Part I the user made quite a solid comparison with Nintendo classic Mario 64. To them, it felt just like the iconic, old title from Nintendo because many fans would have gone for an upgraded Mario 64 had it been available for £70. Same case applies to TLOU, as per the Redditor.

All things considered, it looks like there are people who don’t care enough for the price tag when it comes to trying out options. All they want is a phenomenal and enjoyable experience. What are your thoughts on this story? Let us know in the comments.
