Started playing through The Last of Us Remastered again. It was the first game I bought when I got a PS4, and at the time, I considered it the greatest game ever made. Now, playing through it again... it clearly still is. I've played the best games of 2016, 2017, 2018 by consensus and the sheer quality of this experience is just in its own league. I mean, it's not even close. It definitely feels clunkier now, and obviously as a remastered PS3 game the visuals (which are still beautiful as all get out) show their age, but it doesn't matter. This is still the pinnacle of the medium. Particularly when it's compared to God of War (which it would be, for obvious reasons), one of these things is a well made game, and the other one is a work of art.
