The Last of Us Remastered

A well-crafted masterpiece that earns the highest possible praise, built on superb natural writing, excellent pacing, and the unforgettable evolving bond between Joel and Ellie. The tense stealth-and-combat gameplay, meaningful crafting, scary infected, and a believable fungal-outbreak premise all shine, while the remaster's sharper visuals, 60fps, bundled Left Behind DLC, and surprisingly fun multiplayer make it tremendous value.
