HD updates and remasters have mostly evolved into fully-fledged remakes thanks to their popularity and the fact that they usually sell well. Sometimes more than the original version. 2022 was stuffed with remakes from some of the most beloved franchises of all time.

The Last of Us Part 1

While there isn’t much new in terms of the overall content of the game the from-the-ground-up re-design of the visuals and the use of the DualSense controller do wonders to make this feel like a new game. If you never played the game before than this is the way to go.
