The ultimate PS5 experience

The Last of Us: Part II Remastered is an improved version of the action-adventure game that has already been considered as near to perfection as it could get. The original sequel to The Last of Us, developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony, won over 300 awards, including the game of the year titles at The Game Awards and Golden Joystick Awards. The remastered version was created to use the power of PlayStation 5. As a result, it offers improved graphics and full DualSense controller support, providing players with the ultimate PS5 experience. Moreover, The Last of Us: Part II Remastered features No Return, a brand new roguelike game mode called No Return. It lets players test their skills and increases the title's replayability value.

Unforgettable story

The Last of Us: Part II Remastered continues the first game's story. Hence, players return to the post-apocalyptic world, terrorized by the frightening infected and equally dangerous raiders. Five years have passed since the dramatic events of The Last of Us, and Ellie and Joel have finally found peace in Jackson, Wyoming. Unfortunately, the bliss won't last forever. Besides characters from the first game, TLoU Part II introduces Abby, a new protagonist. One of the unique aspects of The Last of Us: Part II is its intertwining narratives that offer different perspectives and motivations. The story delves deep into themes of loss, revenge, and the cycle of violence.

Gameplay

Like its predecessor, the sequel combines combat and stealth techniques. Finding pieces of junk to craft precious items also remains an essential part of the gameplay. Apart from the well-known elements, players can enjoy a vast array of new mechanics, including using human shields, improved enemy AI, and new dodging, which is crucial during combat.
