Our review of The Last of Us 2 Remastered:

What value does that have? Remasteredwhose original game was released four years ago? Graphically we can see the difference! The game is much nicer than his first PS4 version, far more pleasing to the eye. Textures, colors… We are thrilled with the result! Note that we played in loyalty mode. Whether you play along 4K or UltraHDYou will be happy!

As far as the story goes, nothing has changed: it is still a masterpiece and we still enjoy following the stories of Joel, Ellie And Abby. Of particular note is one of the side missions where Ellie plays the guitar and sings “Take on me” by the band a-Ah, which made us fall in love with the game all over again.

But what interests us most here are the various additions to the game, namely a “No returns“Mode in the same style as Rogue-lite, on”Lost levels” mode with audio commentary on three unfinished levels and a “Free Guitar” mode for playing the guitar. As for the “No Return” mode, it’s a nice addition that will make life difficult for even the most experienced players. Every time, If you lose your life, the map will restart and change, so it never gets boring.

What the “Lost levels” mode, Naughty dog features three unfinished levels taken from the last game. Three levels, accompanied by audio commentary from the developers, for a behind-the-scenes look at how the game was made. And finally the “Free guitar” mode, which, as the name suggests, invites you to strum the strings of a guitar at your leisure. Note that you can choose between acoustic, electric or banjo guitar. Three modes among others (Speed ​​​​Run, etc.), which should please fans of the saga.

Now all you have to do is get back in the game, folks. To your controllers!
