I’d usually consider this a safe space, though the floating menu of potential buffs soon dissipated as a Washington Liberation Front fighter-also known as Wolves-grabbed Ellie, interrupting the action altogether. Ellie takes the momentary reprieve to service her guns at the workbench next to the kitchen. It’s quiet and serene, much like the one I had just pilfered.
The adjacent apartment seems innocuous enough. Not only does Ellie walk away with an upgraded hip holster to house a second pistol, but she gathers a sense of those who left this place behind. A well-placed note hints at a fireproof safe, the windfall of which is locked behind discovering a couple’s wedding anniversary, an ultimately simple task that serves both a mechanical and narrative purpose. Naughty Dog do a fine job of setting up these easy to digest slices of their universe’s history and paying off players that put in the time exploring every dilapidated nook.Īs someone who didn’t thoroughly enjoy exploring Boston from The Last of Us for a number of reasons, I constantly find myself pursuing leads and seeing them through to their end. A conference center near the beginning of the hunt for Nora sets up plenty of heartache that isn’t paid off until the level is near its end. A reminder that we were once, and some still are, all in the same boat, paddling against an inevitable, ceaseless tide, staying afloat for the moment. As you piece together these sad stories, it stresses the fact that the effects of the outbreak aren’t limited to our protagonists, there’s an undercurrent of agony that still lines the convenience stores, conference centers and hotels of Seattle.
#SLEEPLESS IN SEATLE TORRENT FULL#
Though this slice of Seattle is markedly smaller and more linear than the downtown area Naughty Dog has shown at length, it’s full of a rich and terrible history that Ellie, in her travels, becomes a voyeur to. Under the darkened blanket of twilight, Ellie leaves her refuge theatre with the goal of reaching the Lake Hill Seattle Hospital, where a Washington Liberation Front’s Nora is on a resource run, in hopes of digging through to the marrow with blunt force and bring up a bit of that bad blood that’s poisoned her and driven her to Seattle. It’s a huge tonal shift from the tale of the smuggler and the great hope for a cure, it’s far grittier and darker than we could have expected. It’s no secret that The Last of Us Part II is as much about bad blood as anything. OUR THE LAST OF US PART II REVIEW WILL BE LIVE ON JUNE 12TH AT 5:01PM.
