Despite its popularity, the series' frequent re-releases and remasters have drawn both criticism and praise. The journey of Joel and Ellie was enhanced for the PS4 in 2014, remade for the PS5 in 2022, and The Last of Us Part 2 continued the saga in 2020 before receiving its own remaster in early 2024. Both titles have also been released on PC, with The Last of Us Part 1 arriving in 2023 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered just last week.

The Last of Us Complete consolidates all of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic content into one package, marking yet another re-release. While some may question the need for another revisit to Joel and Ellie's world, the timing aligns with the premiere of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2 this Sunday, with Season 3 recently greenlit.
