Fans and even several gaming journalists consider the remake of The Last of Us an unnecessary one. That’s because the game came out in 2013, so not even ten years ago. Moreover, the game got a remastered version for the PlayStation 4 a year later. Among such journalists is for example Jason Schreier, who after just 4 days after the release of the remake tweeted: “Alright, I think it’s been long enough: it’s time for another remake of The Last of Us.”
Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most anticipated games of the last decade, did not live up to its expectation. However, despite that, the game managed to sell over 20 million copies as of September 2022.
