Rebuilt in glorious full HD 1080p for PS4 , The Last of Us: Remastered proves – as if proof were needed – that The Last of Us is one of the defining games of the last few years. Maybe you chose to ignore it or maybe you never had a PS3, but in the event that you have never played your way through...

Superb storytelling and immersive gameplay; Enhanced graphics and consistently smooth frame rates; Includes the brilliant Left Behind expansion; Factions multiplayer mode works better

Okay, let's jump right into this and get the annoying stuff out of the way. The Last of Us is genius. There, I've said it. So, by default, The Last of Us Remastered is also genius. The gameplay is still awesome as well the storyline, acting etc. None of that has changed.

It's been a little over a year since Naughty Dog's latest creation, The Last of Us, graced the PlayStation 3, and the highly acclaimed title has already been revamped for a new generation.

You will be in one of two camps, the first that simply never played the PS3 version of The Last of US and the Second that did and are wondering whether or not to upgrade to the PS4 version.

It's quite simple really. One of the games on the PlayStation is now one of the best games on the PlayStation 4.

The Last of Us Remastered hits store shelves today, and many of you are probably wondering if this reworking of last year's masterpiece for PlayStation 4 is going to be worth the cash, especially if you've already played it on the PlayStation 3.

I'd be reluctant to say that arguments against The Last of Us are immediately invalidated just because I thought the original PlayStation 3 release was a fantastic piece of software with a ton of emotion, blood, sweat, and tears in every corner of its design.

Joel and Ellie

I played through this multiple times on last gen and already on my second playthrough on the remastered (don't worry it's a long game I just play alot :p) But everything about this game is great, the graphics, the game mechanics, the ai, the characters, but most importantly, the story.

It was just over a year ago that Naughty Dog bestowed upon the PlayStation 3 perhaps the finest gift any system headed into retirement could ask for. No, it wasn't a rare gold watch dug up by Nathan Drake.

Positives One of the most compelling and emotionally driven stories in video game history, now remastered for a new generation of gamers; Includes map packs and story DLC along with a wealth of PS4-specific technical enhancements

Negatives Repetitive gameplay mechanics can distract from story, you have no choice in how the game ends; Multiplayer seems tacked on and out of place
