Games Review - August 2020

THE LAST OF US
Part II
Verdict: A gripping, visceral experience

What is it?
The Last of Us Part II is an action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation 4. Set five years after The Last of Us, players control two characters in a post-apocalyptic United States: Ellie, who sets out for revenge, and Abby, a soldier who becomes involved in a conflict between a militia and a cult. The game is played from the third-person perspective. 

Gameplay
Players can use firearms, improvised weapons and stealth to defend against enemies and cannibalistic creatures infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus. Ellie’s ability to jump, go prone, dodge and even run away from combat not only takes advantage of large battlefields, but also enables improvisation within them, pushing you to adapt to any situation or meet a quick death.

Graphics
The artfully detailed and realised locations tell layers of story, from the macro-destruction of a city district down to the posters and calendars hung on abandoned apartment walls. Naughty Dog has taken the gloom of grey clouds and grey buildings and crafted something ominous, beautiful and haunting. Lush vegetation grows over dilapidated storefronts and homes in the suburbs while the smashed, looming skyscrapers of the city form new, mesmerising stone monuments.
