Playstation 5
The Last Of Us Part II Remastered A Nice Remaster Of A Modern Classic
The Last of Us Part II was originally released 4 years ago just right at the time of the COVID pandemic.
And it even came with a TLOU 2 themed PS4 controller and PS4 Pro console design.
It was an irony that people were trapped at home by a global pandemic, playing an apocalyptic video game about a global pandemic.
Remastered for the PS5 now, supporting 1440p resolution at 60FPS in Performance Mode or Fidelity Mode at 4K UHD at 30FPS.
You would need a 4k TV of course to see any visual improvements for this.

Game Play

With improved visual fidelity, movement, lighting and scenic details to the surrounding like foliage, it adds a touch of life to the surrounding, giving a greater sense of immersion in this dystopian apocalyptic world.
The dualsense has also been given a bolster of haptic feedback that gives adaptive triggers feel different to pull off shots with different weapons equipped.
There's even a guitar mode that lets you strum Joel's old acoustic using the touch pad during a scene.
Plenty of bonus contents awaits you, such as a new No Return mode which is a rogue-like survival expansion and let's you stay alive as long as possible through multiple enemy attack waves.
You get a choice of paths through the series of procedurally generated stages, each based around areas from the main game.
If you die, it's game over, but if you make it to the end, there's a giant boss battle worth your effort.
You don't just stand behind cover and blast anything that moves, you have to creep through abandoned shops and backlots, listening out for enemies.
Other stages are against the infected, while others are with human soldiers, and your tactics need to shift accordingly.
Sadly, there won't be any multiplayer co-op game called Faction as it has been cancelled due to lack of staff and difficulty in maintaining the server.
More contents can be found in Lost Levels, a selection of 3 playable stages that were cut from the original game.
There's an extra build up to the Jackson Party where Dina and Ellie kiss, and extended section in the Seattle sewers and finally a late-game scene where Ellie hunts a wild boar.
And the 3rd is like Shashank redemption where she has to crawl through a gross sewer.

You get to unlock concept art as you play and clear stages and also unlock new gears and weapons.
