The Last of Us 2 Remaster Might Be Bad News For Other Naughty Dog Games

The Last of Us has been a significantly influential franchise since it first came out, with both the original 2013 game and 2020’s The Last of Us Part 2 sequel winning multiple awards and becoming the landmark for what story-driven, survival horror games can be. The Last of Us Part 2 is a particularly interesting game because it challenges players mentally by showing them what it means to perpetuate a cycle of violence and vengeance, what its impact on everyone involved is, and how to break away from it – all while actively asking players to go on a killing spree on monsters and humans alike. Part of what made The Last of Us 2 a great game is its graphics and modern-feeling gameplay, and the fact that it’s getting a remaster 3 years later might be bad news for other Naughty Dog titles.
