The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the best way to play this truly excellent game, with sky-high stakes, stunning visuals, rewarding exploration, and phenomenally varied and thrilling combat. But to get the most out of it, you’ll probably need to have a stronger stomach than I do.

4.5/5 stars

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered adds some additional visual flair to a game that didn’t really need any, but the new No Return roguelike mode makes it well worth the upgrade.

Smangaliso Simelane (Destructoid)

9/10

Never played the game before? Well, I don’t think it’s worth piling on any more praise, except to say this is about as good as it gets when it comes to Sony’s cinematic over-the-shoulder third-person action-adventure experience.

Atarita	Eren Eroğlu	Recommended	01-20-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered is the perfect opportunity to give this great game a clean start.

Attack of the Fanboy	Diego Perez	4.5 / 5 stars	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered adds some additional visual flair to a game that didn’t really need any, but the new No Return roguelike mode makes it well worth the upgrade.	Read review
Capsule Computers	Dustin Spencer	9.5 / 10	01-21-2024	While the public are becoming critical of remasters and re-releases, The Last of Us Part II Remastered easily earns its new package with some lovely new content.	Read review
CGMagazine	Zubi Khan	8.5 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered takes an excellent game and polishes it into a gleaming gem made brighter than ever, thanks to the inclusion of new content.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	Elliot Attard	9.5 / 10	01-12-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered brings not just extra content but extra heart to an already much-loved game. This is one for the fans, with a plethora of additional features that highlight the best aspects of the game’s design whilst giving further context and glimpses into its development. Bursting at the seams with things to do, see, and unlock-The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a celebration of one of gaming’s greats.	Read review
Chicas Gamers	Estela Villa	Recommended	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is an opportunity to enjoy the game in its maximum splendor for those who did not enjoy the game in their day and for those who already played it, it is an option to try these new additions for €10, since that is the price of the update if you have the PS4 version (both physically and digitally). While it is true that these additions may not be everything that was expected from Naughty Dog, it is not too high a price to try them.	Read review
COGconnected	Patrick Anderson	90 / 100	01-16-2024	It does feel a bit too soon for The Last of Us Part II Remaster. And this just isn’t the kind of game whose story I want to experience again. Not yet anyway. But Naughty Dog clearly knows this and has put together a package with enough new modes and features to make the upgrade a winning proposition.	Read review
ComingSoon.net	Tyler Treese	9 / 10	01-16-2024	With better graphics, gameplay, and worthwhile additions, it’s an easy recommendation to pay and upgrade to The Last of Us Part II Remastered if you own the original. If you didn’t play the PS4 original, then it’s even more of a no-brainer, as this is one of the most polished and memorable games ever made. Not afraid to deal with dark subject matter and fully explore its characters, The Last of Us Part II remains a slightly flawed yet incredible experience.	Read review

Digital Chumps	Will Silberman	10 / 10	01-19-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a candidate worthy of your attention. Looking past its story (again, its story is incredible) and emotional power, there is enough additional content to warrant a full replay for existing owners. If you’re a new owner, this is no doubt the edition you should be securing to fully immerse yourself in Naughty Dog’s desolate future.	Read review
Digitally Downloaded	Matt Sainsbury	3.5 / 5 stars	01-17-2024	Even if you love The Last Of Us 2. Even if you think it’s the Citizen Kane of video games. Even if you think that Shakespeare himself would have thrown in the towel after seeing this game, realising he could never compete with it as a storyteller, you must surely realise that a game that is four years old and is readily available on your current console doesn’t need the remaster. Surely you understand that this is a ridiculous excess, done purely to milk revenue out of fans, and that it’s particularly frustrating given that Sony is sitting on dozens of incredible properties. That it would rather leave all of them on ice and inaccessible to release this indulgence just isn’t acceptable.	Read review
Echo Boomer	David Fialho	Recommended	01-16-2024	The definitive version of The Last of Us Part II lands on PlayStation 5 with a native build and gameplay modes that are well worth the symbolic upgrade.	Read review
Enternity.gr	Panagiotis Petropoulos	10 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us: Part II Remastered fulfills all the requirements of a truly worthy upgrade pack and comes with a number of interesting and highly entertaining additions.	Read review
Entertainium	Felicity Chevalier	Recommended	01-16-2024	Worse, the fact that personal trauma is often implied as an excuse to perpetrate even more violence is disturbing. This is a shame for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that in the quieter, more peaceful moments of the game (typically reserved for flashbacks), the writing and voice acting are very well done. In a game overflowing with a veritable downpour of tragedies, the biggest one may be actually playing the game itself.	Read review
Entertainment Geekly	Luis Alvaro	4.5FALSE	01-18-2024	“The Last of Us Part II Remastered” is a nuanced extension of a modern classic. It respects its source material while expanding upon it meaningfully, particularly through the “No Return” mode.	Read review
Everyeye.it	Giuseppe Arace	Recommended	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part 2 remains a superior work even four years after its debut.	Read review
Evilgamerz	Jeroen Janssen	9 / 10	01-16-2024	It is clear that The Last of Us Part II on the PlayStation 4 was already great. With its 20 hours of campaign, we are also very spoiled in terms of content. It is actually a miracle that they have only now released a remaster for the PS5, but I understand that they wanted to have part 1 fully ported first. The graphic improvements are good, but not always consistently sublime, the DualSense features are certainly an improvement and the extra content and game mode No Return are also fun for enthusiasts. The Last of Us Part II could hardly fail if you consider that they played it fairly safely and kept the general basis 90% the same. In addition, the game really doesn’t seem to have any bugs. With the many hours you can put into the story mode, and yes, it is still great even if you have already played it on the PlayStation 4, you will not waste any money with this Remaster. However; If you have seen the game on the PS4 and have no desire to experience this great adventure again on the PS5, then the extra additions probably won’t convince you enough to justify this purchase. It makes a difference that an upgrade will cost you a lot less, almost nothing in fact, so the advice should be clear!	Read review
Fun Factor	Diogo Arez	8 / 10	01-16-2024	While the graphical improvements are subtle, the new modes are worth the price of admission alone, especially No Return, a Roguelike mode that’s absurdly fun, although it could use a bit more permanent progression to spice up later runs.	Read review
Game Rant	Dalton Cooper	4.5 / 5 stars	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is a more fully-featured and overall superior version of an already-incredible game. No Return makes it worth the $10 upgrade by itself, and the game is an absolute must-buy for anyone who has never played the PS4 original. The Lost Levels are a bit of a letdown and the graphics haven’t gotten as much of an upgrade as some may have hoped, but this is still the definitive way to experience Naughty Dog’s masterpiece.	Read review
GameBlast	Matheus Senna de Oliveira	9.5 / 10	01-22-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered is very worth it, including from a financial point of view. After all, this is the improved version of a winner of more than 300 Game of the Year awards, with a great (albeit controversial) plot, top-notch production and even better gameplay. The discount for owners of a copy for PS4 is valid and serves as an incentive to return to the game.	Read review
Gameblog	KiKiToes	10 / 10	01-16-2024	It’s a must-do masterpiece if you’ve never had the time to try it before. This fully optimized version on PS5 is a feast for the eyes and ears. There is nothing to throw away, especially since in addition to being sublime, the game is incredible, we know that. For fans of the license, many bonuses (developer comments, deleted levels, etc.) are also included. The roguelike mode does the job very well, even if it is only playable solo. It will certainly kill you for a few extra hours if it is not really essential. But when the job is done very well, why sulk? The same will not be said of the mode which allows you to play the guitar freely, which will only appeal to serious enthusiasts. The Last of Us 2 Remastered is therefore unmissable if you have never touched the game, but if you own the original game on PS4, although it will only cost you around ten euros, it is difficult to recommend, except for early fans obviously.	Read review
Gameffine	Subhasish Das	90 / 100	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PS5 is a definitive package of its PS4 original, thanks to the notable inclusion of Lost Levels, No Return, and a new in-game commentary which makes the campaign worth revisiting even after beating it. The rogue-like No Return expansion alone is worth the upgrade fee -thanks to its changing environmental effects, enhanced enemy AI, and mods that make each encounter memorable. In terms of visuals, the new fidelity mode and VRR support are worthy of inclusion. However, the visual difference in terms of assets and foliage is barely noticeable. Overall, this definitive package is an easy recommendation for old veterans and newcomers.	Read review

GameSpew	Richard Seagrave	10 / 10	01-16-2024	Whether you’re brand new to The Last of Us Part 2 or already own it on PS4 and are upgrading to this remastered version for the extra bells and whistles, you’re in for a treat. Thanks to the visual and performance improvements, there’s no better way to experience the grim, shocking and sometimes uncomfortable story of The Last of Us Part 2. And once that ordeal is over, a great effort has been made here to allow you an interesting insight into the game’s development. It’s the elements here that allow you to extend your play that really make the difference, though. From new unlockable outfits to the brilliant No Return roguelike mode, chances are you’ll keep playing The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered long after the credits have rolled.	Read review
Gaming Age	Benny Rose	8.5 / 10	01-16-2024	Overall, The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a solid remaster release for the PS5, but not one we truly needed in the relative short time since Part II was first released. Part I Remastered made so much sense and enough time went by to see the evolution of the visuals. Naughty Dog did a knock-out job the first time and simply wanted to perfect it, so I would say they were successful.	Read review
Gaming Nexus	Jason Dailey	9.5 / 10	01-16-2024	Regardless of if you’re experiencing the story for the first time, or returning for the $10 upgrade, this is the definitive version of one of the finest video games ever made. It’s worth playing for the story alone, but the No Return mode is an intense and fun addition that might keep you around longer than you expect.	Read review
GamingBolt	Shubhankar Parijat	9 / 10	01-16-2024	With a campaign that’s only gotten better with time, a fantastic new roguelike mode, and a host of other new bonuses, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered serves as an excellent excuse to jump back into Naughty Dog’s stellar magnum opus.	Read review

GGRecon	Lloyd Coombes	5 / 5 stars	01-16-2024	It’s hard to talk about The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered without speaking directly to two different camps; those who have played it and want to know if it’s worth the ten-dollar upgrade fee, and those who have yet to experience it.	Read review
God is a Geek	Chris White	10 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a dense collection of content that fleshes out the main story, with a rogue-lite that is a lot of fun.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	Álvaro Alonso	90 / 100	01-16-2024	The great values of this remaster are the No Return mode, which highlights (even more) how brilliant its gameplay is, and all the light that the extras shed on the development of a work of this magnitude. The graphical upgrade is still a set-up for PS5, but for that upgrade price “I assure you I would do it again”.	Read review
IGN Italy	Angelo Bianco	9 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us: Part 2 Remastered is the best way to enjoy Naughty Dog’s masterpiece, not only for the graphical improvements and the full support for PlayStation 5-exclusive features (DualSense included), but also for the addition of very good extras such as the excellent No Return.	Read review
IGN Spain	Estrella Gómez	7 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us: Part II wants to follow in the footsteps of the first installment, but it doesn’t get off to a good start. The new version is riddled with bugs and only climbs a few steps thanks to the exciting No Return mode, which makes the remaster a half tribute.	Read review

Kakuchopurei	Jonathan Leo	70 / 100	01-16-2024	If you’ve played The Last Of Us Part 2 before and really, REALLY want to play the game in 60fps and don’t mind killing a few hours on a roguelike action title using the game’s brand of crafting and survival combat, I do suggest waiting for a price drop or PlayStation Plus version of this title. If you’re either impatient OR it’s your first time diving into this? By all means jump into the depressing world ruled by cordyceps-plagued zombie people and cruel military factions. The story’s divisive and isn’t as well-plotted out like the first one, but it’s got some good shooting and survival horror coatings to tide you over its other flaws.	Read review

LevelUp	Pedro Pérez Cesari	7.5 / 10	01-16-2024	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	Read review

Nerdburglars	Dan Hastings	8 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered for PS5 refreshes the acclaimed title with enhanced visuals and intriguing new content, including previously unreleased levels and the “No Return” roguelike mode. While the visual upgrades are polished, they fall short of fully utilizing PS5’s capabilities, especially when compared to other titles. This remaster, primarily appealing to new players or franchise fans, serves more as a bridge to Naughty Dog’s future endeavors rather than a standalone landmark.	Read review
Nexus Hub	Sam Aberdeen	8 / 10	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered’s technical improvements are minor (many will question if it’s even necessary), but the side content like No Return is great and worth the upgrade.	Read review
Niche Gamer	Fingal Belmont	5 / 10	01-28-2024	Unfortunately, The Return also exposes the underlying weaknesses in Part II‘s mechanics, especially when compared to older stealth-action titles like Metal Gear Solid V or even Manhunt on PlayStation 2. Labeling this a “Remaster” is disingenuous, and “Director’s Cut” wouldn’t be accurate either. At best, The Last of Us Part II Remastered qualifies as a “Special Edition.”	Read review
One More Game	Chris Garcia	Recommended	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered was a must-play then, and it remains a must-play even today.

Intense, raw, and emotionally charged, The Last of Us Part II Remastered is a reminder of Naughty Dog’s sheer brilliance.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	John-Paul Jones	10 / 10	01-16-2024	Boiled down to its most basic properties, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is the definitive version of the best game of the last generation and as such, it’s still a ten. Easily.	Read review

Press Start	Brodie Gibbons	9.5 / 10	01-17-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered might ring up an emotional toll that some aren’t ready to part with so soon after its original launch, however it’s still a worthwhile release thanks in large part to its celebratory behind-the-scene glimpses at how the game came to be. Adding more value to the package is No Return, an excellent, compact roguelike that feels like an apt showcase for the game’s blunt force combat.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Rui Celso	100 / 100	01-16-2024	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.	Read review
Push Square	Aaron Bayne	9 / 10	01-16-2024	Looking upon the whole package, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is an excellent upgrade. In many ways it’s a sublime treat for fans of the series, with behind-the-scenes content that we lapped up, a survival mode worth the purchase price on its own, and small, albeit present visual and performative upgrades to one of the best games to come out of the PS4 generation.	Read review
Rectify Gaming	Unknown	9 / 10	01-24-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered might not be the remaster that players have asked for, but surely one that everyone can appreciate. Both games in The Last of Us franchise are now easily accessible side by side on the PlayStation 5 and can be enjoyed by returning and new players alike. The added visual flares and technical improvements are the cherries on top, but the addictive No Return roguelike mode among intimate commentary and pre-alpha levels are what make this the definitive sequel experience.	Read review
Screen Rant	Kyle Gratton	5 / 5 stars	01-16-2024	Even with consideration for all the fresh content, The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered’s $50 asking price still feels a bit steep for series newcomers who have held off until now. The new additions themselves feel particularly geared toward returning players, however, and No Return alone is likely worth the $10 upgrade fee being offered. The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is ultimately still The Last of Us Part 2 – it’s one of the greatest narrative achievements in the medium repackaged with more gameplay avenues.	Read review
Seasoned Gaming	Alex Segovia	9 / 10	01-24-2024	The Last of Us Part II remains a fascinating sequel to one of gaming’s most celebrated franchises, and its No Return addition makes it more replayable than it was four years ago.	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Táňa Matúšová	9 / 10	01-16-2024	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.

The Beta Network	Samuel Incze	Not Recommended	01-17-2024	Whilst I believe that The Last of Us Part II Remastered might have been unnecessary, it does offer a variety of new features for you to enjoy. The cosmetic additions are welcomed and having the option to strum a guitar endlessly may be a bit of fun. However, I believe it will come down to whether or not you want to experience the extra dual sense features or if you are interested in a Last of Us Part II themed roguelike mode, that’ll determine if you play it or not.

The Games Machine	Daniele Cucchiarelli	9.5 / 10	01-16-2024	Bringing out a remastered version of such a high-profile game just over three years after the original was certainly a gamble. Fortunately, the audiovisual restoration work has been flanked by an overall optimization that has improved the quality of the experience. Further enhancing the value of the release we find a challenging and fun new roguelike mode, three cut mini-levels, new skins and a variety of other extras that deepen the world of TLOU2.	Read review

Too Much Gaming	Unknown	3 / 10	01-16-2024	There’s just not enough meat to justify the use of the term “remastered” in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered. Visually, the improvements here are minimal, and even without it, the original The Last of Us Part 2 can still go toe-to-toe with the biggest games released today. The real highlight is No Return and the option to play at true 4K resolution as everything else feels like padding.	Read review
Use a Potion	Unknown	10 / 10	01-17-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered offers the definitive way for players to experience what was already a masterpiece, with the visual enhancements and additions making the game even better than it was before. Whilst the improved visuals, performance, and load times go a long way in making it look and feel better to play, the new modes like No Return and Lost Levels feel like genuinely substantial additions that’ll even keep veterans of the game gleefully glued to their screens once more. It all comes together to act as the perfect reminder that Naughty Dog are masters of their craft, with The Last of Us Part II Remastered sitting at the pinnacle of gaming greatness.	Read review
Vamers	Edward Swardt	Not Recommended	01-16-2024	Whether one believes this remaster should exist or not; there is no question about the outstanding story present in The Last of Us Part II Remastered. It is a narrative absolutely deserving of being experienced by any and all. For newer gamers, this remaster is a no brainer. Whether it is worth upgrading for fans who have likely already experienced all the game truly has to offer, even at the low price point, however, makes the existence of this remaster no more than an average iteration of already available excellence.	Read review
VGC	Jordan Middler	5 / 5 stars	01-16-2024	The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is the best way to play one of the best games ever made. Excellent bonus content and visual bells and whistles make this $10 more than worth it, and the exact excuse you need to revisit this modern masterpiece.	Read review
Video Chums	A.J. Maciejewski	9 / 10	01-16-2024	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. 🎸	Read review
Wccftech	Francesco De Meo	9 / 10	01-19-2024	The Last of Us Part II Remastered is, without a doubt, the best way to enjoy Naughty Dog’s excellent survival horror game, thanks to addition of the surprisingly fun No Return roguelike mode, the cut Lost Levels, developer commentary and two display modes for a proper 4K resolution experience. The main campaign’s bleak story remains as controversial as it was when the original game launched on PlayStation 4, but underneath it is one of the finest survival horror games ever made.
