The Last of Us Part II Remastered Review: Dazzling
PS5 version of The Last of Us Part II, subtitled Remastered, introduces a new game mode. It highlights the gameplay of a title first praised for its amazing storytelling.
The Last of Us Part I An awesome video game, but with perfect gameplay (normal, it’s over ten years old now). Released on PS4 in 2020, The Last of Us Part II Fixing a number of issues and maintaining this mastery of storytelling allowed Naughty Dog to provide an ever more fulfilling experience. In many ways, this sequel was a perfect meeting of substance and form. Exactly what this confirms The Last of Us Part II Remastered A little less than four years later.
Because in order to justify its existence (making what’s already more attractive?), this PS5 version introduces some bonuses that encourage fans to drop €10 to upgrade (the game costs €50, otherwise). In the lead, we find a no return mode which, viz Lord of War Ragnarok With its DLC (free), draws on the roguelike style to spice up the games. It is completely ancillary to the main story and serves as a little icing on the cake to prolong the fun. And remember how much gameplay The Last of Us Part II is flawless.
In terms of action, The Last of Us Part II is a gem
Being completely objective, no return mode The Last of Us Part II is unnatural. It gets rid of the essence of the saga – the narrative, the stories it tells, all to focus on the visuals and the gameplay. A way to remind us that Naughty Dog’s masterpiece, both melancholy and violent, cannot be summed up in its unforgettable story. Graphically, and this comes as no surprise to anyone, The Last of Us Part II Remastered Interesting, because the game was already on PS4. On PS5, it adds enough fluidity and beauty to honor its exceptional artistic direction. While everything in the game is supposed to be dead, there are endless details that bring life to the screen. The contrast is shocking.
By adding a few technologies combined with the 3D audio section and the DualSense controller (the heavier the weapon, the more resistant the target trigger), the immersive gain is undeniable. somehow, The Last of Us Part II Remastered Excellence comes to excellence and we will almost envy those who find this sequel with this version. After all, it’s never too late to indulge in a masterful adventure.
A no return mode does not compile the action part The Last of Us Part II It implies and with the demand it imposes. The keys to success are already known: the need to aim well (over the head if possible) to conserve ammunition, the optimization of your resources by favoring melee when possible, and the responsibility to play with the environment to hide and surprise your opponents. The gameplay is still realistic, fun and rich. Each course ends with a boss and you can play the role of attacker (kill waves of enemies) or prey (survive) just as easily. Also, when you’re on the defensive, it’s often enough to hide well while waiting for the timer to run out.
At the end of each match, you earn something to prepare for the next one: some currency to buy weapons, some coins to upgrade your arsenal, and points to develop your character’s skills. If you die, you have to start all over again (rogue-lite aspect). Factors can add up, such as dense fog that impairs visibility or enemies that burst into flames when hit. There are also small challenges to earn extra rewards. It’s really perfect, knowing that Naughty Dog regularly adds content as we continue with the sessions.
Additionally, it’s hard not to see this mode of no return as an opportunity for fans. They will actually get a chance to play the role of heroes that come easily to the story. We think of Dinah or Tommy, Joel’s brother. Each of them, belonging to the camp (Eli or Abbeys), has its own characteristics. For example, Joel compensates for his inadequacy in dodging with greater resistance in close combat. In total, there are ten different characters to play.
Sans Rhetor still lacks a little something to convince. Where games like Real Rogue use failure mechanics to motivate (Hades, returnal...), where Lord of War Ragnarok Yet manages to draw a conclusion from it, The Last of Us Part II Remastered Satisfied with the easy scoring race. Fortunately, the senses remain interesting for holding time to unlock everything to unlock (characters, outfits, bosses, etc.). For an add-on that doesn’t really cost anything, it’s not that bad.
