What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
August 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $39.99. It has been discounted 7 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 13 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks. $18.41 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Days Gone ($39.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats The Last of Us™ Part I ($59.99, scores 46).
Steam's global achievement data puts 56 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 8. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 11 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 74 percent of the 1,234 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
I expected nothing from TLoU 2, considering my own personal tastes in video games, and considering that I thought the first game was a bit overrated. So, with TLoU 2 seemingly being a typical revenge story, I really had no expectations AT ALL. Let's start with the gameplay: it's incredibly polished and fun, even impressive in some ways. I was afraid I'd get bored quickly after a few cycles of "explore - sneak ...
What an incredible experience.. I am literally blown away just how beautifully breath taking this game was from start to finish! I'm not just talking about the visuals but the story and gameplay.. I'll never experience a game quite like this ever again and it makes me feel sad. As a developer myself who used to work in level designing I was obsessive over little details that players barely noticed but the attention...
Great game, I dont understand how this game has haters. The first is so simple to a point its kinda boring, I really love nearly everything about the second game though.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

The Last of Us™ Part II Remastered scores 68/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/2531310/the-last-of-us-part-ii-remasteredThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 2, price as of Sep 23.
