These skills are used for combat, camouflage and traversal. The Last of Us Part 2 also has a special dodge button that comes into play in close combat. Despite the many innovations, it will too many parallels to the first game be able to show.

A real open world, but not an open world
Similar to previous ones Naughty dogGames offers The Last of Us Part 2 several larger, non-linear, open areas that offer more space for exploration and allow players to play optionally. The developers have said that these sections will include various combat encounters, script sequences, story moments, and more. These can be completely skipped by the players if they so wish. Somehow a shame if you miss something – but it remains your choice. It is anyway NO open world title, how Sony already affirmed. If any of you come up with the idea.
No bad guys without a brain
Naughty dog has introduced several improvements for the first game. The enemy AI has been completely revised. The enemies communicate much better with each other and are more tactical and aggressive in both stealth and combat. Companion AI, a criticism for the first game, has also been improved, and companion characters are now adhering to the rules of camouflage while being more effective in combat encounters. The opponents will even have a virtual heartbeat!
The opponents in The Last of Us 2 are not stupid. Naughty Dog has told us this several times.

Train Ellie’s skills
Progress mechanics also get a greater depth, as a player can invest in three separate branches of skill trees. These relate to craft, camouflage and survival. This offers several unique advantages, such as For example, a better range in list mode, the production of stunning bombs and improved health, unlocking pistol silencers, higher movement speed when crawling and more. Weapons can also be customized and equipped with various parts, including various riflescopes, magazines, supplies, grips, muzzle and more. This in turn brings various values such as reload speed, rate of fire, stability, ammunition capacity, damage, recoil and more. According to the developers of Naughty dog enable the improved upgrade and customization mechanisms in TLoU 2 the players to fulfill their preferred playing style much better than in the first game.
Nothing for weak nerves. The violence in The Last of Us 2 is pervasive. If you can’t cope with that, you’d better look around for a different game.

The Last of Us Part 2 also introduces some new enemies like dogs, used by human enemieswho smell Ellie during stealth sequences, as well as “Shambler”, a new type of infected who have a thick, armor-like coating from their fungal growths, can be dangerous to Ellie by releasing harmful fumes. Various other gameplay improvements have also been confirmed: the removal and replacement of the Shivs and their durability mechanics with Ellies Switchblade. The blade is a permanent weapon.
The Last of Us 2: Groundbreaking innovations for the game engine
Naughty dog has a lot to offer in terms of facial technology. So he has Sony-Developers developed a new technology that could significantly improve the graphics of the game. As gamers, we will be able to “perceive” even the smallest details of the characters. Whenever someone gets angry, natural things happen to people, such as bursting of the veins or reddening of the eyes. The skin may even get bruises.
These properties are not limited to Joel and Ellie. Human enemies will have the same characteristics. In patrols, the opponents will talk to each other about personal matters, so many details have been incorporated. They will show fear when one of their comrades has blessed the time. And they will express animal expressions when they attack Ellie. With this, the developers have extended realism to the whole game. Not only the facial expressions are amazing, also the environment of the game. Today’s Seattle was replicated in great detail, only with the overgrowth of many years. The goal was for Naughty dog, the situations in PS4– Make the game appear as realistic as possible. Only after thorough research did you sit down to work on the game. You can see that.
In the current State of Play gameplay video you can see these effects brilliantly implemented.
