Naughty Dog has discussed The Last of Us Part 2's ambitious scope for sometime now, but a new look at the game has teased that the adventure is so big, players may not experience some story and gameplay elements on a single playthrough. In the latest episode of PlayStation's multi-part look at The Last of Us Part II, which you can watch below , members of the development team discuss how Naughty Dog's biggest game ever has scripted sequences players may miss. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/20/the-last-of-us-part-ii-inside-the-gameplay-video"] "In this game we've gone so far in making the level design open that there are actually entire story moments, entire combat encounters, full scripted sequences that you may completely miss," The Last of Us part 2 Co-Director Anthony Newman said in the latest look at the sequel.

If this were Overwatch 1, I’d feel guilty picking her as the sole tank due to the lack of protection I’d offer my teammates. In the original, tank heroes could be broadly split into ma...
