As it was
From the very start, the developers set out to give players the feeling of being in the role of Ellie. The better you can do this, the more effective the scenario tricks prepared by Naughty Dog will be.
βBecause this game is set in such a hostile universe and our characters are forced to do some really difficult things, we want to make you understand how difficult certain decisions were for the characters, making them difficult for you too,β explained narrative director Hallie Gross (Halley Gross).
Ellie, compared to Joel (the protagonist of the first part), is much weaker. This deficiency of the heroine in Naughty Dog was compensated by her agility: the girl can jump, lie on her stomach on the ground and dodge enemy blows.
In a horizontal position, Ellie can use all her abilities and types of weapons, as well as hide. Opponents, however, have been taught to look under objects, so this tactic will not be effective for a long time.
Unlike many games, where tall grass becomes a way to hide from enemy gaze, in The Last of Us Part II the thickets do not hide the heroine 100%: a thug who comes close will be able to see the protagonist.
The locations where you have to do all this have become more complex and spacious compared to the first part. It has gotten to the point where, due to the openness of some areas, it is quite possible to miss one or another story episode.
The developers call the ability to create items a reward for exploring the area. Crafting in The Last of Us Part II includes more recipes than before, which will open up additional perspectives on the battlefield.
In addition to equipment, players will also be able to improve the characteristics of Ellie herself. Naughty Dog warned that there will not be enough resources to fully upgrade in one playthrough, so upgrades must be approached wisely.
Let us remind you that the debut video from the series Inside The Last of Us Part II was dedicated to the plot. The third (elaboration of details) and fourth (in-game world) will be released on May 27 and June 3, respectively.
The release of The Last of Us Part II is expected on June 19 exclusively on PlayStation 4. Along with the game, a PS4 Pro and a set of accessories (gamepad, external hard drive and headphones) will also go on sale.
