There’s been a lot of talk over the past few months about whether or not The Last of Us Part II needed to be remastered. It was already one of the most visually stunning games available when it launched on the PlayStation 4 in 2020, and since that was just a few short years ago, it doesn’t feel like there was any real demand for a remaster. There was even a free 60 FPS patch while playing the game on a PlayStation 5, so upgraded performance was already a possibility. While this “Remastered” edition offers some new features, game modes, and a few more surprises, there’s been an undeniable sense of speculation and more than a little eye-rolling at the sheer existence of this version. After spending a considerable amount of time with it, I think The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a great way to experience one of PlayStation’s greatest titles, but there are a few caveats to consider.
