The Last of Us Part II was originally released almost four years ago in 2020 on PlayStation 4. In 2021, PlayStation 5 owners received a free update that allowed them to play a modified version of the original PS4 game. Later, a game-based series was released, which sparked new interest in Ellie and Joel’s story among a wider audience.
Now, capitalizing on that same interest, we have The Last of Us Part II Remastered, an updated version of the updated original game. The sequel takes place five years later, just like in 2020, with Ellie as the main protagonist, and Abby is introduced to the game, creating another intense journey. The remaster brings smoother movements, brighter lighting, and more realistic scenic details. However, to notice these changes, a high-quality television is necessary.
The DualSense controller is fully utilized, providing a tangible difference in the feel of different weapons during combat. The controller’s touchpad can be used to strum guitar strings, and there is a guitar mode that allows for freely plucking Joel’s old guitar. The story follows the same path as the original game, but the remaster introduces a new mode called “No Return” where you have to survive multiple waves of enemy attacks, choosing different paths through procedurally generated stages.
What’s more, you can now play as different characters such as Dina and Tommy for the first time, and the gameplay is different for each of them. For those who have played The Last of Us Part II before, the “Lost Levels” will be interesting. They include three playable stages that were removed from the original version, including a pre-party preparation section in Jackson, an extended section in the Seattle sewers, and a late-game scene where Ellie hunts a wild boar. They also provide a deeper insight into the world and Ellie’s character through voice commentaries from the creators on the ideas they explored and why they were ultimately abandoned.
Currently, we have only played for a few hours. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into Joel and Ellie’s story. The Last of Us Part II Remastered is only available on PS5 and costs 2999 Rs in India. PS4 owners can upgrade for a fee of $10 in the USA (upgrade pricing for India has not yet been announced).
