As a remaster, this is a bit underwhelming as compared to it's original, there's not that much difference between the two.
You can see some graphical differences but mostly in cutscenes and they're still not as great a difference from the OG. Lost levels is quite fun but really short which is understandable given that they are in early stages, at least the one in Jackson because the other 2, are pretty much ready to be inserted into the main game with a few tweaks and polish.
The biggest selling point is most definitely No Return, the rogue like mode. Just like GOWR did, TLOU now has a rogue like mode where you face a set of challenges in 5 different stages before fighting the boss. There is a great list of characters to choose from that can compliment your prefered playstyle and the modes per stage are pretty fun. Some of the mods that the game throws at you during your fights in these stages are a bit broken and simply ruin the experience at times. Gameplay is still amazing and having to upgrade yourself after each stage, trying not to do or else I'll have to begin from 0 again is quite fun and addicting, as are most rogue like games / gamemodes in games.
