20 PS4 Exclusives - Ranked From Worst To Best

3. The Last Of Us: Remastered

The Last Of Us Zombies
Naughty Dog

As gaming's 'Citizen Kane' moment, The Last of Us truly proved Naughty Dog are the finest developers working right now. Their tech is just on another level for one, and even on PS3, TLoU's graphics are outstanding.

Putting you in the shoes of father Joel and asking you to take care of Ellie (the girl with the only cure for the zombie-like infestation ravishing the globe), you could've predicted the "And they became best friends" arc a mile off.

What nobody predicted however, was the ending. A plot twist so severe and so human in its execution, that it divides all who experience it. At the heart is the question of who's more important: Your loved ones, or the millions around you, but the execution of this idea by piloting Joel through one of the most harrowing final levels of all time is just sublime.

The Last of Us hits harder than anything else I've ever played, and the sheer balls of its final shot before the credits kick in is the stuff gaming history is made of.
