The Last of Us Remastered makes the end of the world even more beautiful

The Last of Us Remastered releases on the PlayStation 4 this Tuesday. The mature-rated title is a bid by Sony to show everybody how much more powerful — and emotional — games on the PlayStation 4 can be.

The Last of Us on PlayStation 3 was my favorite release of 2013 — and my favorite game of all time. It won more than 200 Game of the Year awards, including one from GamesBeat. If you didn’t catch it the first time around, The Last of Us Remastered is a great opportunity to see what all the fuss was about. It’s also a great way to take in the experience again for those who loved the original on PS3.
