My backlog is ridiculous. I keep telling myself I need to drop the difficulty to story mode on every game in my backlog to get caught up.
Then do it. It's how I am making it through FF16. I thoroughly enjoy it on easy. I personally would rather play 10 games on story mode in the same time it would take me to play 1 game on hard mode.
That's where I'm leaning these days. I think I only finished 2 full games to story completion in the last 2 years! I start games, get super into them, then get bogged down in trying to find every upgrade or achievement / trophy, and then burn out and don't complete the game. I need to stop worrying about that inessential crap, I don't have the time to play this stuff that I did as a kid.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered shares a similar graphics mode configuration with Naughty Dog’s previous PS5 releases, namely The Last of Us Part 1 and Uncharted: A Thief’s Legacy Collection, although there is no Uncharted 》120Hz mode in the remastered version. There are essentially two modes: 30fps fidelity mode and 60fps performance mode.

Here are the details on the two graphics modes available in The Last of Us Part 2 PS5 Remastered:
Fidelity mode: 4K (locked with v-sync) 30 fps.
Performance mode: 1440 at 60fps (upgraded with v-sync).
Additionally, the game supports variable refresh rate (VRR) for 120Hz or higher displays. With VRR enabled, you can get a target framerate of 40fps in fidelity mode, and hover between 60-80fps at 1440p with upscaling enabled.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is scheduled to be released on January 19, 2023, exclusively for PlayStation 5.
Fidelity mode it is then

And 120hz unlocked.
40 fps/120hz feels so good. That has been my preferred mode now because it is the mid sweet spot between graphics and performance.
The fidelity mode looked absolutely terrible in motion in the Uncharted 4 PS5 upgrade.
I bought the disc on sale during Black Friday and haven't played it yet. I think I will pay for the upgrade for the VRR and improved loading times. Of course I would prefer to play it on PC, but I'm sure I'd have to wait at least two years for that.
