The Last of Us Part II Remastered Reviews
The Last of Us: Part II Remastered is a re-release that delivers the best and most complete version of this game. While the graphical changes do little to impress, the extra content is valuable for those hungry for more of Naughty Dog's grim universe. That said, it feels solely like it exists purely for commercial continuity, to capitalize on the hype of the HBO series and give another sales boost to Naughty Dog's video game

The best version of Naughty Dog's blockbuster. It's still not a story for everyone, it's not a production for all PS5 owners. It is, however, a title that will delight fans of the universe - The Last of Us Part II Remastered is (at least currently) the best version of the game you loved or hated on the previous generation.

At the end of the day, The Last of Us: Part II - Remastered is a fine but pointless upgrade. In a vacuum, it's a straight boost to the PS4 version in every way, and the $10 upgrade cost is probably worth it if just for No Return. For all of its glories and failures, Part II is still the same game, even more so than The Last of Us: Part I. It's the best version of the game but probably not something that players need to rush out to get.
While remastering a game 3,5 years after its release is hard to justify, The Last of Us Part II Remastered still offers one of the best videogame experiences that now comes with the perks that PlayStation 5 has to offer. Even though most of the changes are cosmetic and graphics-wise barely make a difference, the roguelike No Return Mode brings a new challenge that may be worth the price, especially as an upgrade for players who own the original game.

All the extras greatly increase the lifespan of the game and manage to delve the player even deeper into the narrative in an extraordinary way.

Overall, Naughty Dog has once again delivered a stellar game that just keeps giving you more and more. The No Return in itself is worth playing this game again. If you love the world of The Last of Us and you want to be able to play as Joel again, then this game is definitely something you should get.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is generally what you'd expect for a current-generation iteration of a 3.5-year-old game. There's definitely enough extra content and enhancements to make it worthwhile but only if you're not burned-out by the original. 🎸
With "The Last of Us Part II Remastered", the most beautiful version is released natively on the PlayStation 5 console and impresses with its new features. The game doesn't change the story and scores more with the many extras that come with the version. The new game mode "No Return" is definitely a highlight alongside the first-class story and brings a huge amount of variety. We can recommend the remaster.

Should you buy The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered? If you haven't experienced Ellie and Abby's adventure, absolutely yes, given the affordable price and added content. The same goes for those with the original installation, as the definitive edition is worth the reasonable cost. Even with some different opinions, this operation is highly satisfactory in the current market.

The Last of Us: Part II is at times almost perfect game. However, its remaster isn't that ideal, as the amount of new content it introduces is insufficient. Still enjoyable story, great combat and superb graphics can make the player smile, exactly as the game should.

Three years after the original release date, The Last of Us Part II is still an epoch-making masterpiece, and this Remastered further enhances Naughty Dog's work. Technical tweaks and playful introductions, including interesting lost levels and the exciting No Return mode, constitute the selling points of the re-release, which further solidifies the must-have character of Neil Druckmann's creature. If you have played the original title to exhaustion, the Remastered may not be a priority purchase. If, on the other hand, you viscerally love the series or, even more so, if you have not yet played Part II, well, the time has come.

The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered is an essential piece to add to your PlayStation collection, especially if you've never had the chance to play the 2020 title. The re-release shines thanks to the power of the PS5 and the improvements made with the more performing hardware, also offering a series of tasty extras: the roguelike No Return mode is the real gem, proving fun and well structured even without offering new mechanics compared to the single player experience. Unlike the remake Part 1, where the launch price was understandably criticized, we also believe that the choice to offer an upgrade for €10 is an acceptable requirement given the work done.

The Last of Us Part 2's No Return mode may not have an in-depth progression system nor offer rewards that keep you hooked for hundreds of hours, but it's still a lot of fun to play. The moment-to-moment gameplay is satisfying, and if you're a fan of Resident Evil's Mercenary mode, this could be your next jam - for a little while, at least.
While the base game has always been technically impressive, The Last of Us Part II Remastered just makes all of it slightly better. There's not much you can do to improve something that's already fantastic to begin with. No Return mode and Developer Commentary track are great things to look forward to for returning players. For the ones who haven't played Part II yet, this Remastered version should be the only thing you'll consider getting.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remaster is the definition of ‘more of a good thing’. It comes with the core game, which itself I still find to be an incredible follow up to the first game along with a surprisingly deep new mode with No Return and a slew of new features that enhance an already great game but now allows it to utilise the improved features of the PS5.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the definitive version of one of the best games of all time. Enough said.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered isn't a release for everyone, but it's an offering of undeniable value. It is an irrefutable proposal for fans of this extraordinary series who want to (re)live one of the best narratives in our medium, as well as for players who like to delve into the creative process of productions of this scale. Those looking for a different experience will be able to find something interesting in the No Return mode, although it is not a mandatory experience, neither for those who love the base game, nor for those more fascinated by roguelike experiences. As a whole, this is a phenomenal title, filled with varied and extremely high quality content, but whose return will be more or less worth it depending on how much mileage you have already come with or how fanatical you are about the journey offered here.

'The Last Of Us Part II Remastered' adds one game mode and minimal extras. Graphically it is better, but it is difficult to notice. The game itself remains as classy as before, but the remaster still feels very unnecessary.

Well-documented leaks muddied initial opinions of The Last of Us Part II by now, but with the benefit of time, it is easy to see why it won so many awards four years ago, and it will stand the test of time as one of the greatest games ever made. The parallel storyline, risky payoff, immaculate soundtrack, and iconic performances, now remastered and with more meaningful content than ever, will always be there for us when we wish to relive a harrowingly told tale as old as time.
The Last of Us Part II is a masterpiece, and this Remastered version is the ultimate way to experience the groundbreaking title. Graphically I didn't notice too many improvements, but the PS4 version was already visually stunning and the same holds true for the upgraded PS5 version. The Lost Levels, developer commentary and No Return roguelike modes are impressive additions, while the Guitar Free Play and Speed Run Mode just sweeten the deal.
