The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a candidate worthy of your attention. Looking past its story (again, its story is incredible) and emotional power, there is enough additional content to warrant a full replay for existing owners. If you’re a new owner, this is no doubt the edition you should be securing to fully immerse yourself in Naughty Dog’s desolate future.
Sony has finally removed sales restrictions from four major games on Steam, and all of them are compatible with the Steam Deck.
Marketing analyst estimates over 2 million units of The Last of Us Part II Remastered sold during HBO Season 2.
If true, this is why Sony keeps making them. A lot of "gamers" might complain or cry about it. But as long as these things keep making money, they will keep doing it and ignore all those complaining online
This isn't an argument for the low-hanging fruit, but this here is exactly why Sony - and others - will keep producing them. Dev costs are low. Profitability is high. It's low risk, high reward. And given the skyrocketing costs in the AAA space, projects like this help fund future titles. I don't like it, and I'd much rather Sony - and others - release new titles, but I sure as hell understand why it happens.
Whats the point of making new games when you can keep releasing old ones 😂 they keep buying so why not?
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "The Last of Us Part II: Remastered is a beautiful mess. An ambitious title that had all the right ingredients, but didn’t always pan out the way it should. The excellent survival action gameplay that showcases humanity’s brutality is often let down by a story that is trying too much and has poor pacing. Thankfully, Part II’s debut on PC improves on the last game, making it the best place to play, even with its imperfections."
If the story is deeply flawed to the blogger and it's a story game, how does the blogger justify giving it a 9? A deep flaw is unacceptable in any part of the game. If everything else was perfect, it would be an 8 game. Deep flaws are foundational issues.
Let me help:
Graphics: 10
Sound: 10
Story: 8 (Overreliance on flashbacks. While the story beats are properly paced and the plot points are generally pacy, it tries to tell 2 stories at once, which led to a structural issue in the overall story, but despite this the message and mood are striking relevant.)
Gameplay: 8 (Turning in the game is awkward and it gets in the way or searching for stuff and the quick turn in combat doesn't feel intuitive.)
Overall: 9
I'm playing No Return right now. It's worth it.
I didn’t realize it was today I’ve been busy with this week. Going to download it now
As to be expected by one of the most passionate development teams out there. You can tell when a studio has real passion for game creation and for pleasing fans, Naughty Dog and Larian studios have shown us what’s possible when game studios pour their hearts and souls into their titles.
I still git ps4 version on my ps5 and bought remaster I think lighting is better and it's seems sharper in performance mode than the 1400 p ps4 pro version
