The Last of Us Part II is a third-person action-adventure game from Naughty Dog with survival horror elements. It opens four years after the first game in Jackson, Wyoming, and Ellie's revenge story moves through Seattle, Washington, where the Washington Liberation Front (WLF) and the Seraphites are at war. Abby's story extends to Santa Barbara, California (Wikipedia).
It released on PS4 on 19 June 2020, as a PS5 Remastered edition on 19 January 2024 and on Windows on 3 April 2025. The Windows version was developed with Nixxes Software and Iron Galaxy. Metacritic lists 93 for the original and 90 for the Remastered edition.
Wikipedia notes that you can crawl prone to evade enemies, that Listen Mode reveals enemies through walls, and that crafting and workbench upgrades cover items such as health kits, Molotovs and silencers. A skill tree is unlocked through supplements and training manuals. Enemy AI can take cover, call for help and exploit distractions, and guard dogs track your scent. The Remastered edition adds Guitar Free Play, Lost Levels, and No Return, a roguelike survival mode.
