There are also lots of behind-the-scenes insights (audio commentary on all cutscenes, three unfinished levels) and, above all, “Sans Retour”, a new rogue-lite mode.

An impeccable rogue-lite mode

We start with the biggest innovation: Sans Retour. It’s simply a great idea, intelligently implemented, to revive the very good gameplay of The Last of Us Part 2. We’ll keep the recipe here TPS infiltration ship of the original game against all the emblematic enemies of the campaign (Infected, WLF, Seraphites), but in random clashes where death will return you to the starting point! There are five fights governed by four different rules before facing the boss. There is no room for failure to take down this main enemy – but Sans Retour’s strength lies precisely in never leaving the player on the sidelines, even in the event of a mistake… The mode proves ita very nice pace of progression where you’re constantly unlocking things

(Characters, Rules, Bonuses, Penalties). In short, the rogue-lite experience makes you want to immerse yourself in it | sublimates the sensations of Part 2, which become more “visceral” than ever before. In short: it’s definitely worth it.

Incidentally, we also liked the three “Lost Levels”, these levels taken out of development that return with audio commentary. In addition, to this point, all the cutscenes of the adventure are now the subject of anecdotes from Neil Druckmann, co-creator of The Last of Us and co-president of the studio, as well as Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, Laura Bailey and Shannon Woodward, the interpreters of Ellie, Joël , Abby and Dina… Watching everything will give you hours of (enjoyment). Overall it is a very good choice and we recommend you discover it on PlayStation 5.
