There are very few games out there that have made me think "Holy Sh*t" right off the bat, or made me want to instantly start a New Game+ run, right after my first completion. Yet, The Last of Us (Part 1) definitely did.
The game wastes no time in hitting you in the feels & will remind you what emotion feels like, because quite frankly, the story is a roller-coaster of emotion.
There's a good reason why they made a TV Show on it.
Now here's a Pro's & Con's list, because that keeps things simple.

Pro's:
+ Impeccable Story. Every character is unique & adds something worthwhile to the story that's hard to replicate. The main game & the "What We Left Behind" DLC took me 24hrs to complete. There's a variety of factors like collectables, optional dialog & harder difficulties that may make the game longer depending on your skills.
+ Great Audio (SFX & Voice Acting).
+ Awesome Visuals & Cutscenes, plenty of opportunity for awesome Screenshots.
+ New Game+ Mode / Speed Run Mode / Permadeath Mode = Replayability.
+ Performance - When the game released, I heard a fair few bad things about the games performance. I've had no issues with it. I spent 5 minutes waiting for shaders, but that was fine. You can literally make a cup of tea & chill while you wait.
So, to put it simply, there aren't many (if any) game breaking bugs, minor glitches or bad textures. This game runs pretty smoothly now.
If you're curious as to what I'm running the game on, my specs can be found at the bottom of my profile.

Con's
- Was a PSN Exclusive for far too long. (Isn't really a con, just displeased it took this long).

Conclusion
I haven't really got any bad things to say because I've had no minor or major technical faults with the game, nor have I got any bones to pick with certain aspects. Everything seems to be beautifully crafted & honestly, I wish this came to PC sooner. At least I have something to look forward to... Part 2!
(Get this game at any price, you won't regret it).
