Pros
Pro An enthralling experience
Until Dawn has gorgeous graphics, an incredible sound track, and knows how to instill terror in people. From the moment you start playing, there's an creeping feeling that never goes away.
The graphics are stunning. Facial features are done very well, which adds a great deal to conveying the creepy nature of the game. The music is dark and very minimal. The ambient sounds are much more heavily used, and it's done incredibly well.
The game is scary, that's the whole point of it. However, some games are scary, and others are horrifying. Until Dawn is utterly terrifying.
Pro Emotional story with characters you can relate to

Pro Simple but useful crafting system
This game has a very simple crafting system where you collect scraps and combine them to make items. You can also craft weapons such as the Molotov cocktail and the nail bomb. Both weapons can take out most enemies instantly. It's quite refreshing to see such an accessible and useful crafting system.
Pro Comes with all of the DLC
The Last of Us was first released on PS3, and a lot of extra content was released later. The Last of Us Remastered comes with all of that content included. This will help you save some money on DLC purchases.
Cons
Con The writing is sub-par at times
Much of the dialogue between the characters is just corny, at best. You often find yourself wondering if characters are being ironic, or if the writers just didn't know what they were doing.
Con Minor graphical issues
You'll occasionally notice texture pop-ins and characters briefly disappearing. It's not really game-breaking, but could potentially ruin your immersion.
