The Last of Us uses third-person perspective and players take control of Joel, while Ellie is controlled by the AI for the majority of the game, although the player switches control in the later sections of the game. The game involves gun fighting, melee combat, and a cover system with no preset cover locations, only crouching near objects and navigating normally. The player fights off the Infected—former humans infected by a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus—and the Survivors—humans that are not infected, but are hostile towards Joel and Ellie. A new gameplay mechanic is a feature the developers call "dynamic stealth", meaning that there are many different types of strategies and techniques that the player can use at any given time as they approach a new situation, to which enemies will react differently.
Naughty Dog has developed an AI system called "Balance of Power".[9] This new system allows enemies to react realistically to any combat situation they are placed in by taking cover if they see the player, calling for help if they need it and even taking advantage of the player's weaknesses, such as when Joel runs out of ammunition, is distracted, or when he is being attacked by other enemies. The player's variety of abilities mean they have multiple ways of accomplishing the same objective - this is typified in the "crafting" game play ability which allows the player to gather various items in the world and combine them to make weapons or items, for example gathering alcohol and rags and choosing to create a first-aid kit or a Molotov cocktail. The player must craft items quickly and at a carefully chosen time, due to the action not pausing while crafting takes place, and enemies potentially taking advantage of Joel being occupied.
The game begins by introducing Joel, a single father living in Texas with his daughter Sarah. On the night of his birthday, a sudden outbreak of a mutant cordyceps infection ravages the United States, which changes its human hosts into rabid, monstrous killers.
This game is exciting and makes you want to play more. Some situations have you on the edge of your seat. This game will have you feeling all kinds of emotions. So sit back and enjoy killing the infected as you go through different chapters full of allies and foes along the way.
Enjoy!
