The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered lets you strum the banjo as composer Gustavo Santaolalla

The Last of Us was such a massive hit on HBO. Naughty Dog created a truly cinematic gameplay experience that translated well into a series adaptation. This live-action series was released and gained a following immediately, prompting HBO to order a second season. However, the second season has not had the smoothest start. You can blame the delay in this production on the strikes in Hollywood. But now that the strikes have ended, productions have once again started back up with The Last of Us season two, which is expected to begin filming shortly.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrived last week, and if the cutscene commentary from the game's director, writer and key actors wasn't enough for you, Naughty Dog has another behind the scenes piece coming. Grounded II: Making The Last Of Us Part II, a documentary on the game's creation, will arrive on February 2 at 12PM ET on YouTube as well as in the game itself. There's a trailer in the remastered game currently, and the full documentary will be added via a downloadable patch. That patch will also have some new skins for Ellie and Abby in the main game.

Rewards from new boss encounters, hero skins, and game-changing mods are all available in when you complete different challenges in the roguelike No Return mode. The survival missions your chosen character can attempt in a run could unlock additional features. It may take time to meet every goal, but each challenge offers an exciting opportunity.

Palworld is a monster catcher and survival game that feels mildly off. The cute, round, and friendly designs of the Pals you encounter don’t quite fit with the more organic and natural environments. It’s a jarring sensation that I was able to get past fairly easily, except for a dissonance more insidious than the initial visuals: Despite playing a monster-catching game, I found myself actively resenting my Pals. It’s a bit of a problem that in a game named, well, Palworld, maintaining a party of Pals is the least interesting bit.

City builders offer endless hours of entertainment as you shape and manage your own cities, savoring the successes and weathering the hardships along the way. Still, if you're eager to take on more responsibility after overseeing your fair share of those, look no further than The Universim, the city builder that lets you play God to entire planets. 

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Insider episode 3 is out and offers a look at what players can expect after finishing the campaign. There are leaderboards to compete on, with solo, duo and four-player squads having separate rankings. Beating someone’s score even allows for a Rival Taunt, which sees one of the Suicide Squad taunting them in “creative” ways when they log in.

Sony is issuing refunds to those who purchased The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered full price by accident, if they have it on PS4 already.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a strange blend. On one hand, it’s a good excuse to revisit Digital Trends’ 2020 Game of the Year selection. On the other, it’s a bizarre package filled with tone-deaf bonus modes that water down the base game’s own message on cyclical violence. Considering that it’s not as much of a “remaster” as its title implies, I wouldn’t blame most players for skipping it.

It was a staple game on tablets about ten years ago. We remember everyone playing Plants Vs Zombies back then, and, along with its sequel and various spinoffs, it's still an immensely popular mobile game today.

Naughty Dog is known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to graphics.

Unhinged Studios has officially announced their roguelite deckbuilder, dev_hell based on the soul-crushing experience of working as a programmer in an office environment. It’s set to release on PC this year.
