The Last of Us Part II's Lost Levels Are Interesting, But Not Relevatory
Briefly

The Last of Us Part II Remastered is pretty much a 'Director's Cut' of the 2020 PlayStation 4 game, and while some of its additions and special features are questionable (like the Roguelike mode), one of the more interesting inclusions is three playable lost levels that were cut from the final game.
The first lost level is from before the inciting incident of the game's revenge tour, and appears to have been a tutorial level. Ellie hangs out with the people of Jackson, playing games with the locals that teach you the aiming and Listen Mode mechanics, and she even chats with her ex-girlfriend Cat.
The second section is more of an expansion of a segment that still exists in the game. It features Ellie traversing the Seattle sewers as she moves across the city. This is probably the least notable segment Naughty Dog included in Part II Remastered, but it does have one really affecting moment that foreshadows Ellie's struggle with PTSD following Joel's death.
