One of last year's highlights is now one of 2014's best games. The Last of Us remains Naughty Dog's finest hour.

Expertly blends brilliant storytelling with thrilling action; Looks sharper and runs better than ever; Left Behind DLC is a highlight

Carrying ladders still isn't much fun; Feels initially sluggish and less impactful on a second playthrough

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

Visual enhancements not as huge as you might expect; No compelling reason to buy it again

" The Last of Us: Remastered " remains a powerful and compelling game twelve months on. If you've already played the game, the basically full price (and no discount for existing owners) makes it harder to recommend. However, for newcomers, I have no hesitation in recommending the game.

Still a stunning achievement in both storytelling and third person adventure, and although this is the definitive version the differences are still minor.

Dynamic, tense, and highly visceral combat against believable human – and inhuman – opponents; Superb storytelling and pitch perfect voice-acting; Meaty and imaginative multiplayer

The story and character development goes nowhere for much of the middle third of the game; No major additions on the PlayStation 3 version, despite the high asking price, and the ally AI is still flawed

There's not really enough distance between the PS3 version of The Last of Us and this new Remaster to make it worth double-dipping, unless you're simply that fixated on counting lines of resolution. If you missed out the first time around, though, you really shouldn't let it slip past again.

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

You've killed someone, so you're the villain. Though he was trying to kill the young girl you promised to protect, so you're really the hero. Except he was only defending himself from a perceived threat while he was out scavenging for a few morsels of food to feed his family with.

Exceptional work of storytelling; Complex cast of characters; Remastered visuals; pack-in content make this a definitive version of

Shaky AI too frequently breaks the illusion

Roughly a year ago, Naughty dog delivered on one of the most highly anticipated games in recent history. It walked away with a shedload of game of the year awards from pretty much everyone who was handing one out, and deservedly so.

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.

One of the best games out there. The development of the relationship between the characters is just mind-blowing. One of the most compelling storylines ever in a game. Go for it, its worth every single buck.
