Everything arrived fine. I bought it along with part one.

Great game. Gritty, harrowing story that leaves a lasting impression

Ps5 games in Best Buy are the best. New and original

I had to buy part 2 because my son had so much fun with part 1! Highly recommended

Great game and even better storytelling! Please consider buying part 1. You would be doing yourself a disservice.

Great Quality. But this remaster version… I’m not sure what suppose to be remastered. It just seems like the same game as before. Haven’t finished the game yet but will update. The lost levels…!!!!

Excellent game , new survival mode is worth the buy alone…. The best way to play

When I think about the games that left the deepest mark on me, The Last of Us Part II is always at the top. It isn’t just because of its incredible production values, but because it combines cinematic storytelling with the immersion and emotional weight I expect from the very best role-playing games. Even though it’s often labeled as action-adventure, it feels like one of the richest RPG experiences I’ve had. Every decision, every resource, and every moral dilemma pulled me deeper into the story until I felt like I wasn’t just controlling characters—I was living them. What makes it stand out is the emotional gravity of the narrative. Unlike RPGs that rely on stats or endless side quests, this game pushes you through a story where revenge, grief, and forgiveness collide. Playing as Ellie meant carrying her pain, anger, and conflicted motivations through every level. I wasn’t simply watching a scripted plot; I was forced to confront her choices as if they were mine. Later, switching to Abby—someone I initially despised—completely rewired my perspective. That bold storytelling design didn’t just entertain me; it made me reconsider how quickly I judge others. Few games manage to use role-playing as a way of teaching empathy, but this one did. Gameplay itself enhanced this connection. The progression system and upgrade paths gave me freedom to shape my approach. I could lean into stealth, brute force, or a careful balance depending on how I wanted to survive. Scavenging mattered because every bullet, bandage, or crafted tool felt earned. That kind of scarcity forced me to think carefully, and it gave every encounter weight. The infected were terrifying, not because they were just “enemy types,” but because they demanded different strategies. Human enemies were even more unsettling—they weren’t faceless foes but members of communities, calling each other by name. Combat wasn’t a grind; it was survival. The worldbuilding elevated everything further. Exploring Seattle’s ruins felt like stepping into a real, broken world. Abandoned apartments, decaying stores, overgrown stadiums—each location told its own story through notes, graffiti, and forgotten objects. Instead of just moving toward the next objective, I found myself stopping to take in the details of lives left behind. That’s what the best RPGs do: they make exploration feel like discovery, not filler. Character depth is where this game truly shines. Ellie isn’t presented as a perfect hero; she’s flawed, stubborn, and sometimes hard to root for, but that’s what makes her human. Abby’s arc mirrored this complexity, and taking control of her turned what I thought would be a one-sided story into something layered and challenging. Role-playing means embodying different perspectives, and here I had to face the uncomfortable truth that no one is purely right or wrong. By the end, I didn’t see two sides of a conflict—I saw two lives, equally scarred by loss, each making choices I might not agree with but could understand. Even after finishing, the emotional weight stayed with me. Unlike many RPGs where victory feels triumphant, this ending left me hollow, conflicted, and reflective. That’s what makes it brilliant—it didn’t tie things up neatly. Instead, it made me think about the real cost of vengeance and the difficulty of forgiveness. That kind of impact is rare. The best role-playing games don’t just let you escape; they make you confront something deeper. On a technical level, the game is stunning. The environments are rich with detail, the animations are some of the most lifelike I’ve ever seen, and Gustavo Santaolalla’s score ties everything together with haunting precision. These elements may seem like polish on the surface, but they matter because they keep immersion intact. In an RPG, immersion is everything, and this game never broke it. In the end, The Last of Us Part II stands as one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played because of how completely it merges story, gameplay, and emotion. It doesn’t rely on stats or endless freedom to feel like role-playing—it relies on depth, consequence, and humanity. For hours, I wasn’t just Ellie or Abby; I was them, making choices, facing threats, and carrying their burdens. And when the credits rolled, I didn’t feel like I’d simply finished a game—I felt like I had lived an experience. That, to me, is what role-playing is all about.

After beating Part 1, and buying Part 2, I have been so engaged and wanting to remember every movement I have with this game. Every encounter with the Infected or enemies, you won’t know wether you need to be stealthy or loud. Every cutscene I seen has left me in shock because how the story is developed. If you are PS5 or PS4, you absolutely NEED to play this game. While the game does play slow, it is great that way and I love it. In the future, I can’t wait to buy more games for the PS5 and see which one I will love the most.

I am newer to the franchise and despite hearing that this game had a mixed reception, I really enjoyed my play through of it! It is quite a bit longer than the first one (and I do recommend playing that first), more violent, and I think more difficult. Overall, it was a very dark game but the story is developed and revealed in a way I’ve rarely seen in video games. Nearly everything from the first game has been improved upon from the visuals (this being even remastered) to the gameplay mechanics including going prone and a dodge mechanic that mixes up combat. I can recommend this game as long as you are looking for a very mature story with intense and at times brutal gameplay.

This game's plot has so many compelling twists and turns. Great game, graphics, and story. It will tug at your feelings in so many different ways. Loved part 1 and part 2 is awesome as well.

This game is one of PlayStations best. I understand the hate behind it and I was one of the people hating on it when I first played it in 2020 but after another play through I have to say the story is amazingly crafted and gameplay is stellar. Also the No Return mode is a lot of fun and adds more replay value to the game. My only issue is THERES STILL NO MULTIPLAYER. Other than that it’s a fantastic game.

Great Game! Captivating story, keeps you on the edge of your seat.

One of the best video games ever made. I've played this game too many times to count, and I decided to buy the physical format of this game instead of the digital upgrade Sony was providing. The graphics are slightly better in this remastered version and there are some nice unlockable items like skins and photos, etc. The "No Return" mode, which is where you have smaller, special missions to get through to unlock certain skills or weapons, to ultimately get to a final boss, it just OK. I loved it at first but it gets old real fast. This was their attempt to appease everyone that was expecting a Factions II Multiplayer game but they didn't have the time or bandwidth to complete it. Either way, at this pricepoint it's definitely worth having in your collection before everything turns digital.

I love the story and gameplay. This game is perfect. There is nothing that i dont like.

Excellent Game never get tired of this game. Great graphics and nice story.

Great squeal in terms of gameplay, story, and overall feel. Would love additional features e.g less restrictive world but if you liked the first one you will not be disappointed with this one.

Great game. Remaster does have some upgraded features. All in all, a great buy.

Best game ever. The graphics are incredible. Gameplay is amazing. The storyline is so captivating. This game has action, is scary af, and has great puzzles and exploration.

The Last Of Us Part 2 has got to be one of the best games I've played in my entire life. The story is interesting, the characters have a lot of depth, and the combat mechanics are incredible. The map looks amazing, the new types of infected make the game more challenging, and it was an all around great game.
