About The Last of Us Part II in brief
The Last of Us Part II is a 2020 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. The player controls two characters in a post-apocalyptic United States whose lives intertwine: Ellie, who sets out for revenge after suffering a tragedy, and Abby, a soldier who becomes involved in a conflict with a cult. The game is played from a third-person perspective and features elements of the survival horror genre. It was praised for its performances, characters, visual fidelity, and gameplay, though the narrative and the representation of a transgender character polarized critics and players. It has received ten nominations at The Game Awards 2020, and won Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. It is one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games, with over four million units sold in its release weekend. It was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, with the game receiving a score of 64 out of 100. The Last ofUs Part II was released on June 19, 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partly due to a lack of funding for the game’s development. The last game in the series was released in 2011. The sequel is set five years after the events of the first game, and follows Ellie and Joel Miller as they try to find a cure for the Cordyceps pandemic in Washington, U.S. After the events, Joel Miller confesses to his brother Tommy about his responsibility in preventing the pandemic. Four years later, Joel and Ellie have built a life in Jackson, Wyoming, though their relationship has become strained.
While Joel and Abby rescue a stranger, Abby Anderson, from an Infected horde. They are now part of the Washington Liberation Front, a militia group based in Seattle, Washington. They attack Joel’s father, Tommy, for murdering Abby; Joel and Joel attack Tommy for murdering Joel. They return to an outpost run by Abby’s former father, who is now a member of the Fireflies, a group of former Fireflies who run an outpost on the run from the Infected. The players can use firearms, improvised weapons, and stealth to defend against hostile humans and cannibalistic creatures infected by a mutated strain of the CordYceps fungus. The nimble nature of the player character introduces platforming elements to the game, allowing the player to jump and climb to traverse environments and gain advantages during combat. In the cover system, the player can crouch behind obstacles to gain advantages in combat, and can also crawl in a prone position to evade enemies. Some areas in the game are navigated by horse or boat, and the player may be impaled by an arrow, which will progressively decrease their health meter and disables Listen Mode until removed when in cover. The player can collect supplements to upgrade skills in a skill tree; training manuals found throughout the environment unlock additional skill tree branches, allowing upgrades to attributes such as the health meter, crafting speed, and ammunition types.
