    This game is perfect! The story is fantastic, the characters are amazing, the gameplay is fun, it is very emotional and is well worth the $50 price tag!

    Gaming perfection incarnate. Every PS4 player should play this once even if you already played it before this is still something to jump back into as it is just too good.

It is set in a future post-apolyptic desolate setting of america and is based round a few key and vital characters. The story is about survival and gathering resources for your character to use in crafting aid items, weapon upgrades etc. The game is linear in nature however not that it detracts from its special cinematic sequences or it's beautiful yet eerie setting, plus there is subtle player choice to be had in naughty dog's latest outing say upgrading your weapons, crafting molotovs and first aid items like in rage the video game, very similar. The main aspects of the last of us is its realistic and wonderful graphics, stellar voice acting/animation and the feeling that grips you tight of how close you get to the two main characters in the game. There is certainly a emotional link to them throughout your adventure, and in time it will only grow. the combat system in the game is for the most part very smooth and fluid-like, you can sprint, jog, vault, take cover, sneak etc which all helps to take out your enemies in a stealthy manner or in a brutal, satisfying way. The game does from a story point of view pulls you right in and doesn't let go. It is a mix of survival horror/action adventure with both elements ever so subtle and seamless in their exchange. The aiming in the game is quite bothersome and has a lot of natural sway on the reticle, which can be reduced slightly by finding supplements and herbs to upgrade it with. The level design in the game is top notch, It is very diverse and with that allows you utter freedom to play the game how you want. The story line is very simple but expertly well done. And the ending in my opinion is truly satisfying and well scripted. The attention to detail with the graphics is outstanding, everything is so ironically full of life and colour, the water effects excel with everything i have ever seen. I do however have some minor gripes, but due to being so minor that they do not affect my final score, but there are infrequent graphical bugs, with items disappearing and entire parts of the game as well, but there are seldom seen and only last barely a second. And you can only alter the sensitivity of both analog sticks rather than individually change them. Also the cover mechanic is automated and sometimes you simply cannot stick to a certain wall and on occasion has given my position away. And i do also wish the survival skill system was more abundant in which you had more choice on given gameplay aspects like vaulting and running speed, melee moves, etc. The enemies are fantastic within the game and choose random paths, are quite perceptive and just generally fun to take out. The game has a multiplayer mode which has several modes and about 11 maps, the survival skills, crafting system, weapons, and gameplay mechanics are borrowed from the campaign, which is a good thing. It always for a slow paced and tense experience, certain mechanics are tweaked to allow for a more smoother and balanced play. And is generally a lot of fun, and the one of few multiplayers in which i have enjoyed and dedicated a lot of my time to. But with all the praise, the main reason i love this game is the colourful cast of characters and the emotionally driven storyline. Its a pure gem of a game and one that ill be playing for some years, a masterpiece. Expand

    The game is worth the highest score possible, it should not be downrated based on the "Console Exclusive Meh" kind of talk. It was one of the most interesting games i ever played, i like the mix of story with gameplay.

    The last of us gamers, will own the greatest games ever made. In that list list is the definitive bestseller 'the last of us'. I was so pleased to buy the remastered version even though I still own the PS3 version (in fact, now I can donate my PS3 console).

    This is pure entertainment guys. If you have not, buy it and experience a masterpiece.

    Probably the best game of the PS3 and PS4 combined. A really great game and a must buy if you own the console. Story is top notch. It comes at you right at the beginning with the feels and I love the interaction between Joel and Ellie. Also the people you encounter a long the way is really great too.

    I'm a PC gamer. I haven't owned a console in about 5 years. I decided to buy a PS4 bundle with this game when it was on sale because my girlfriend really wanted LittleBigPlanet3. She hasn't gotten to play once in the last 10 days.

    I'm a PC gamer. I haven't owned a console in about 5 years. I decided to buy a PS4 bundle with this game when it was on sale because my girlfriend really wanted LittleBigPlanet3. She hasn't gotten to play once in the last 10 days.

    I heard from a lot of people how excellent this game was, and it wasn't like I didn't believe them that it would be a good game, but I didn't anticipate it being just as good as it is. I found myself announcing aloud to one one in particular "Damn...This is incredible." about every 2 hours.

    The gameplay is fun; if I had to put a number on it I'd say maybe a 8/10. It's nothing that hasn't been done before to some extent. I feel like its a mixture between the Batman: Arkham and Resident Evil franchises, both excellent games in their own right so I don't make the comparison negatively. The real strength of this game is the character development, story line and world design. All of which are masterful. I've been playing video games for a long time now, and I think the last time I felt so emotionally invested in my characters and their stories was back in 1997 when Final Fantasy 7 dropped. It's been 17 years since I've played something that made me actually feel a real, humanistic connection to the characters.

    I could go on for another 1500 words about why its so great but honestly, if you haven't played this game and you enjoy video games, or even if you don't enjoy them, you need to play this. To me, it almost redefines what a video game can be, and what we can now come to expect or even demand of this medium of art. Simply outstanding. The best game I've EVER played? Maybe not. But it's top 5-10 easily, and was worth the PS4 price of admission alone just to experience it.

    I don't think my girlfriend will be playing her copy of LittleBigPlanet3 any time in the next month or so...

    Anything less than a perfect score would be ludicrous. The Last Of Us: Remastered revitalises the original game, allowing it to reach new heights of superiority [...] The Last Of Us is less a video game, and more a spiritual experience. 5*

    The game tells an absolutely amazing story and has fantastic characters that you become emotionally attached to. I felt like I was playing a television series, except there wasn't a single bad "Episode." The game does have zombies in it, however I would hardly call "The Last of Us" a "Zombie Game" because it has the perfect balance of zombie threats, human threats and storytelling.

    The only disappointing part of this game was the fact that it ended. If you own a PS3 or a PS4, I officially label this game as a MUST BUY.

    *Note that this review does not include my thoughts on the story based-DLC included with the game or the multiplayer. This review is solely for the base story, including Joel and Ellie.

And for the public, the game just released, how do you give it a 1 or a 0 when you clearly haven't played through the game and all it's additional content? Unlike most people I had two weeks to sit down and enjoy the game, and I just broke the ice. I haven't even touched multiplayer. With all of the additional content that Naughty Dog has included in this game, it's more than worth $50. People should actually play the game before docking the score because they are ignorant and clearly have something against great storytelling and gameplay. On that note, whoever has not picked up a copy, it's worth your while, and it's only $50. Expand

And the main focus is a multiplayer that indefinitely extends play-time. I never thought a story focused game would be worth the full price but again this game is. The story sucks you in and makes you care about the characters. I was so involved that i was having to step back and take in just how much i was emotionally involved. Im cynical as hell and never believed this game could even be close to as good as advertised. I didnt buy on PS3; playing something else. And thank god...the remastered version comes with all DLCs so my first experience was even better. I probably wouldnt have bought this game either if i wasnt looking for a PS4 game but im so glad i did. Also the multiplayer isnt just tacked on. Multiplayer play is really unique and lot of fun to play. I couldnt believe how many peeps who played this on the PS3 couldnt wait to pay $60 again to play on PS4. Final words...Do not buy another game until you play this. You will love it. Believe the hype and get this game. Its the best game for the PS4 easy. This is written in middle November and nothing released beats it. Get this game NOW, its so addictive, satisfying, suspenseful, challenging, innovative, emotional and frickin fun. Expand

    The Last of Us is the single greatest game I've experienced. The story telling, characters, combat, and the overall feel for the game is a masterpiece. Being able to play again on my PS4 is very awesome, especially with the new features like the camera mode. Honestly, buy this game regardless of whether you have played it on PS3 or not.

    I guess it's worth addressing the elephant in the room for a second: "The Last of Us" is the first post-"Crash Bandicoot" Naughty Dog game that I've played, and given that I played and beat the original "Crash Bandicoot" trilogy only as part of the Vicarious Visions "N-Sane Trilogy" remakes (instead of their original versions), this is essentially the first game fully developed by NaughtyI guess it's worth addressing the elephant in the room for a second: "The Last of Us" is the first post-"Crash Bandicoot" Naughty Dog game that I've played, and given that I played and beat the original "Crash Bandicoot" trilogy only as part of the Vicarious Visions "N-Sane Trilogy" remakes (instead of their original versions), this is essentially the first game fully developed by Naughty Dog that I have played and beaten. And admittedly, I approached this one with some very real caution: yes, the game received glowing reviews and many Game of the Year awards back in 2013, but so too did "Grand Theft Auto V," a game I somewhat notoriously (or maybe I just think that) rated a 7 out of 10 in my review, contrary to the 9 and 10 scores that everyone was handing out to it left and right. Even if "The Last of Us" was a completely different game, it became clear as soon as I handed that score to "Grand Theft Auto V" that even one of the most beloved and popular games of all-time didn't do it for me, so I actually worried that "The Last of Us" would suffer the same fate. Fortunately, dear readers, it didn't. In fact, it ended up becoming one of my personal favorite games.
    "The Last of Us" is a wonder to behold in basically every facet: the story is moving and emotional, is excellent in its handling of themes like survival, family, togetherness, and even subtle themes of gender roles and sexuality. Furthermore, considering that I'm not very good at crying, the fact that this game got me pretty damn close to crying at several points is really something. The characters are also impeccably written (specifically Ellie, who is the true highlight of the game), and the relationship between Joel and Ellie is fantastic, as it's the perfect example of true, genuine, legitimately character growth in a story. Each character, even down to the secondary ones, are also further brought to life by an array of excellent performances from its very talented cast, and I find the moral ambiguity and flawed nature of the characters to be extremely fascinating, as it brings an air of realness to them. The game's post-apocalyptic world is brilliantly designed and believably lonely, able to mask the fact that it is so linear by still giving you plenty of areas to explore, and the graphics are absolutely breathtaking (the added PS4 facelift only helps to bring them out further). I also love the game's use of music and sound, and I find that the often lighter, more haunting nature of the sound design only helps add to the loneliness that the world tries to create. Also, while I initially worried going into the game that the gameplay would suffer as a result of the emphasis on story, I'm happy to report that I was very wrong: the gameplay is fantastic. The game's crafting system adds an interesting air of strategy to the game and keeps you on your toes, the combat is engrossing and exciting, and the stealth sections are also extremely satisfying. Oh, and getting to play the game at 60 frames per second thanks to this remaster only helps make for a more smooth gameplay experience.
    If there is one EXTREMELY minor flaw I can mention about the game, it's that the enemy AI can be just a tad bit wonky during stealth sections, but said sections are so tensing and edge-of-your-seat thrilling that it's honestly easy to look past.
    This is it: this really is one of the finest video games ever made. I was skeptical at first, but "The Last of Us" hooked me in right from the jump and never let me go. If you haven't gotten a chance to play this masterpiece yet...stop whatever you're doing and fix that!
    Final rating: 10 out of 10 "Fantastic"

Think of mass effect (If the dialogue was free-flowing and not 'Let us stand around waiting for you to think of an answer.'), Think of Half Life 2 (and how quiet-time established how much it greatly improves the experience), Think of the Metro Series (Environmental Storytelling). The main complaint I hear about the gameplay is that the AI is glitchy/terrible. There's a cure people. Just raise the difficulty from Easy or Normal to a higher one (you big baby playing it on easy, shame on you)

    Factions MP is fun as long as you just don't use the strategy everyone else is using.

    If you want a deep, philosophical, strange, satirical commentary-like storyline you probably should look somewhere else then here. It is character driven, like most great storylines however the story just wasn't what I find interesting. For the average movie-goer this will be a blast. A dark story yet with some happiness hidden inside.

    OH WAIT DID I FORGET THAT IT IS A GRAPHICS UPDATE?! SILLY ME. Don't buy it if you want to spend 50 quid on it. You are not missing out on alot if you are just going to play the game over again. 60fps and some extra clothes are not enough to justify another purchase. (Unless you loved the Factions mode to death and want to continue to play it.)

    The upgrades to 1080p and 60 FPS should be reason enough to call this remastered, but Naughty Dog has included all of its previous DLC and updates which gives you a more than the Value of the game and should give reason to the Non-DLC gamers out there to have a better (and maybe even a new) experience with a more complete game.

    I am sure for those who have already put more than 30 Hours into the PS3 version will have a hard time recommitting to "Game of the Year" edition (so to speak), but it shouldn't cause the game to receive lower ratings.

    This game is simply put as such, if you LOVED the game on the PS3, then owning a more complete version with better overall performance (at a $25 trade-in rate at Gamestop) is a No-brainer. If you have NOT played this game, it is a highly cinematic, stealth, action, horror game that will surely give any gamer an amazing experience and worth every penny. If you played the PS3 version and felt like you already experienced everything there is to offer, than there is not much purpose in re-buying it.

One of the few games that tugs at your heart strings and forces you to feel for the two main characters as they make their way through their journey. The remastered edition makes this game easily the best looking on the PS4, followed closely by Infamous: Second Son.

    I love the stealth aspect of this game, planning out your strategy before approaching the enemy. The A.I. can be really stupid at times, especially the friendly A.I., but they work for the most part and I don't feel that it detracts from the game that much.

    I personally believe this is a game every gamer needs to experience atleast ONCE.

From the fun; addictive, & unforgettably brutal gameplay & mechanics to the absolutely Incredible tear jerking, thought provoking, and unforgiving story told through your journey as Joel & Ellie. But even with some of the absolute best story telling & gameplay under its belt you could say that the most impressive part of The Last of Us is the unforgettable acting & voice work. The one & only Troy Baker who plays & voices Joel brings to life one of the all time best & mentally broken characters in any video game, movie or any other form of entertainment. And with that said his partner, Ellie through mostly the entire game is just as equally brilliant & satisfying; and was played & voiced by Ashley Johnson. And that's just those 2 characters. There are SO many absolutely brilliantly written; acted & voiced characters that you not only come into contact with but play their own huge roll in the game, and I of course have to mention that the great & veteran Nolan North too voices & acts out 1 of the games most important characters. 'The Last of Us' will simply have you hooked with your jaw dropping to the ground throughout the entirety of the experience. If you miss out on The last of Us then you are missing out on 1 of the absolute best "Experiences" in any form of entertainment. Once you've played through 'The Last of Us' you'll never look at gaming the same way again!
    Bravo Naughty Dog; BRAVO!!!

    The graphics, the locations, the backdrop, the noises, the music has all been carefully put together and is totally in sync with each other. The atmosphere is frightening with strange noises or footsteps echoing around the corner.

    No negatives at all to speak of (wish the storyline lasted longer as it is so good is the only thing). This game is close to perfection and totally unique. Easily the game of the year and just as easily in my top 10 of all time games as it is so different from the standard RPG/FPS/Adventure games out there. Ignore the handful of negative comments about tiny irrelevant details. THIS GAME IS AWESOME.

    Ive basically just copied and pasted my previous review of the PS3 version because its pretty much the same as the remastered version. The extra fps and slightly more refined graphics just makes it that little bit more awesome. Here's to TLOU2

    The remastered version looks stunning and runs beautifully.

    The gameplay is as good as the first time I played. Level design is perfect, the controls and combat are fluent and feel realistic. Combat is brutal and gritty and every encounter feels like a struggle to protect your life and Ellie's. Enemies are intelligent and it takes some thought to progress (especially on first play through). The story encourages you to keep going to find out what happens next.

    The graphics are sharp and detailed. The scenery is stunning and vast. The addition of the DLC is worth the second purchase if like me you bought the ps3 version but not the DLC.The DLC is just as beautiful as the full game.

    If you have not already played The Last Of Us, I highly recommend it as one of the modern greats. This game will haunt you and be in every conversation about the greatest games for the rest of your life.

It performs well enough at 60fps most of the time, although it takes a **** whenever you're near water for some reason, but on the whole it's fine. The voice work is top notch and really helps push the story, Ellie is pretty hilarious at times.

    Ignoring the wonderful single player experience the game also boasts a highly enjoyable 4v4 multiplayer mode, which is fully fleshed out with countless maps, weapons and fluff items. The loadout system is very much like CoD where you have a set amount of points to speed to create your own unique build. It's a very slow paced, tactical game mode where stealth is key, I was honestly surprised at how good it was, it's definitely not just tacked on for the sake of it.

    In short, if you own a PS4 you owe it to yourself to play this game as it's very special.

    The Original Was Amazing – This One is Even Better

    The Last of Us became a generation defining title when it launched last year on PlayStation 3, and many would go even further to say that it was instantly one of the best games of all time. Statements like that are hard to argue against when The Last of Us is now the most awarded game in history by critics. I fall right into that camp: before playing The Last of Us for the first time, I had never considered a game to be worthy of a 10/10 score. As immersive as a game may be, as beautiful as it may look, or as gripping as the story may be, I’ve always believed that there will be enough problems to keep games off of the perfect score pedestal. The Last of Us shattered that belief.

    The Last of Us: Remastered is the exact same game the original was a year ago. However, it also includes all of the DLC, was upgraded to run at 1080p and 60fps, and includes a photo mode that lets players act like they are using Instagram in the game’s post pandemic setting.

    What all of this meant for me is quite simple — The Last of Us: Remastered instantly overtook the throne of best game I have ever played. Sure, I will never get the first playthrough reaction again because I know what is going to happen, but does that take away from just how incredible this game is? Absolutely not. Recently, one of the writers here at Middle Of Nowhere Gaming made a bold claim that The Last of Us actually gets better the more you play it, unlike most other games. And you know what? He is completely right; it really does.

    Just how much better could a remastered version be? Well, let’s talk about just how beautiful TLOU: Remastered really is. If you played the original on PlayStation 3, you will immediately be able to tell the difference just by watching the opening cutscenes. Joel and Sarah look much sharper than they used to, and the camera moves around like it’s a feather floating on the wind. Do you think I am sugarcoating or exaggerating? I’m not.

    However, even though Remastered looks and feels exponentially better than its source material, there are minor hiccups here and there. One problem I ran into was that I felt motion sick each time I had to sprint during the first hour or two of the game. I am by no means a tech-genius, so I can’t say I understand exactly what affects the change from 30fps to 60fps can have on people, but it made me feel sick several times. But it’s not all bad! If you decide to stick it out with 60fps instead of locking it back at 30 you will almost certainly grow accustomed to it with time. It took me about two or three hours to finally shake the feeling. On top of that, 60fps makes the gunplay so much better. The combat felt faster and tighter — something that Naughty Dog’s gunfights are not usually known for.

    The only other issue I had with the graphics was the occasional glitch where people would run through walls, get stuck running in place, etc. This kind of thing happens in just about every game if you look hard enough, so it should be taken lightly because it didn’t happen often.

    Naughty Dog’s decision to add a photo mode to TLOU: Remastered was a very smart move. What better way to show off all the hard work and dedication the team put into this game than adding the ability to snap awesome photos of the many incredible sights/scenes found in the game? On top of this, they added the option to add filters to each photo you take, making it feel just like Instagram. We live in a society where the masses are hungry to share, like, and comment on as much content as possible; Naughty Dog knew this, and it’s why it was such an important addition.

    All of that said, the best part about Remastered may be that it includes the Left Behind DLC and two multiplayer map packs for less than the original price when when the game was released WITHOUT the extra content last year. Left Behind is a heartwrenching flashback story about Ellie that players will now be able to play whenever they want (preferably after beating the main story). The multiplayer maps were really fun to play on, especially since it runs much smoother graphically now than it used to.

    The Verdict: 10 out of 10

    The Last of Us: Remastered is by far the best game I have played on PlayStation 4 so far, and I now consider it the best game I have ever played. If you still only have a PlayStation 3, the original version will suite you just fine, as it still holds up incredibly well. However, if you own a PlayStation 4, you are doing yourself a disservice by not playing the Remastered version. The graphics are so noticeably better that you will see the difference right away, and the additions of the photo mode and all of the DLC make the package seem criminally underpriced. Do yourself a favor and get this game. You’d be hard pressed to find a prettier game that also has one of the best stories ever told in any format.

    A masterpiece in every sense of the word. Playing Remastered was my 3rd playthrough so I put it on Grounded mode. Needless to say this is simply how The Last of Us is supposed to be played.

Needless to say this is simply how The Last of Us is supposed to be played. Quite possibly the best game I have every played and that's nearly 3 decades of gaming. It looks magnificent, plays perfectly, sounds amazing. The story is beautiful and "real", the characters are believable, their relationship and how it develops is one of, no the best, most realistically developed in any video game. I love Joel, I love how he relates to Ellie, I think of Ellie as my own, no game has ever had this effect on me before and I doubt any will since. From the opening scenes to the perfect final words, The Last of Us is a masterpiece and will go down in history as one of the best stories ever told. Finally got into the multiplayer, which I normally steer well clear of. This time, from someone who predominantly plays solo games, multiplayer is awesome and meaning full with a really simple but well executed story and excellent, different game types.
    Perfect, there is no other word for it.

    This game is perfect. Graphics and art direction are flawless. The story mode is the best one in a video game ever. Its a proof that games can tell good stories with a very complex and non cliché plot. Game's tempo is also correct. Its not too short, but you don't get that feeling that it shout have been a little longer. It ends where its supposed to.

    I can't forget about the exciting

    This game is a masterpiece, one of the true highlights of my gaming career. Even when you begin to find the gameplay tiresome or the story boring you start to notice how it's a beautiful audiovisual experience. And then before you know it something happens and you're gripped, again. Everyone should give it a go.

    While it may not seem like much, 1080p resolution and 60 fps are very welcome improvements for a nearly perfect game. Naughty Dog managed to do a flawless technical adaptation for the PlayStation 4. We would have loved a bit more extra content, but we can't complain, as the game already is one of the best ever created for a Sony platform.

It's not a fast paced game, but by god, it's so deep, why should it be fast?
    P.S..: In the light of the recently release of blockbusters that are given to the poor, honest gaming community as public betas (expemsive, mind you! And yes, I am talking about AC Unity), this game shows us that it can be done right, no annoying bugs and glitches, no feeling of unpolished gameplay etc. Thank you, devs of Naughty Dog!

    For me being one who never purchased The Last Of Us on PlayStation 3, I felt this was a must buy. When it initially released I had doubts until I put it into my PS4. The graphics are beautiful, game play is fluent, and over everything else, the storyline draws you in making it a 10 out of 10 in my book.

    Okay, I have to admit, this game was one of the reasons that I bought a PS4 after my 360. This is how video games should be, and it's a shame that so few studios can deliver a story like this (other examples for me: Half Life 2, Bioshock). I definitely recommend this game for anyone, and I really hope that ND will keep making many-many games like this for years to come.

    One of the best games I have ever played in my 17 years of playing video games. It isn't perfect, but it is as close to perfection as you could reasonable hope for. What is so special about this game is that while it does the storytelling part of it (story, characters, pacing, ambiance, music) so incredibly well, it doesn't do it to the detriment of its game play.

What is so special about this game is that while it does the storytelling part of it (story, characters, pacing, ambiance, music) so incredibly well, it doesn't do it to the detriment of its game play. What I actually played perfectly complimented the story they were trying to tell, but when you took those same mechanics, and put them into a competitive multiplayer in the form of Factions, you got one of the most unique (as unique as a TPS multiplayer can be) multiplayers of the last generation. Kudos to Naughty Dog, you guys have achieved something special here. It's too bad some people (looking at the low-effort negatives) can't grant you that much.

    As for the remastered part of this: it is the same video game, but it looks tons better, and it sweetens it by including in game commentary, a photo mode, and all DLC. All of that for a lower than normal MSRP. Definitely worth the price to newcomers, but also people who enjoyed it in the past, so that you can see the world Naughty Dog has painted for you that much more clearer.

    This is an amazing game, made only better by being released on the PS4. I really don't understand people giving low scores. You get the game and all the DLC for less than a full priced game. That alone should be enough of a reason to purchase it.

    Higher frame rate and resolution is great like everyone says. They also got rid of the grain filter and replaced it with genuine texture. The motion blur caused by moving the camera around is also gone. Same game but cleaner and smoother. Any hardcore gamer should be visually literate or at the very least competent enough to appreciate this remake as the work of art tha it is.

    With that said, I played the opening sequence of the game (up to the point prior to seeing what you are smuggling out of the quarantine zone) and I fell in love with this game all over again. I played this game on the PS3 last year and am glad the feel was kept in the remastering of this game. The higher resolution and with it running at 60fps, you can really tell a difference in the smoothness of the gameplay and the textures really pop...even compared to the very well done PS3 version.

    I highly recommend this game for anyone who has a PS4. It doesn't matter if you played this on the PS3 or not....get....this....game. It is the best movie I have ever played.

    A post-apocalyptic road trip that offers a fantastic, riveting experience, where destruction and beauty, and hope and despair, get entwined in a way that’s nothing short of genius, The Last of Us is so good that its somewhat repetitive, and occasionally dull gameplay isn’t enough to rob it of its rightful place amongst the video game greats. Therefore, if looking for an unforgettable action-adventure, with strong cinematic sensibilities, and a heavy emphasis in adult, character-driven storytelling, look no further than Naughty Dog’s classic, especially now that the remastered version has made the original even more stunning.
