How it plays
The Last of Us Part I tells the story of Joel, who is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie out of a military quarantine zone in a ravaged civilisation overrun by the infected and hardened survivors. The small job turns into a brutal journey across the United States, from the streets of the Boston quarantine zone to the abandoned homes of Bill's Town.
Players can sneak through abandoned homes and cities, searching drawers and cabinets for supplies, or fight in tense combat, and 3D audio helps them hear enemies trying to ambush them. The package has the complete single-player story and the prequel chapter Left Behind, about Ellie and her best friend Riley.
On PC it supports DualSense haptic feedback and dynamic triggers over a wired connection, DualShock 4 and other gamepads, keyboard and mouse with full remapping, an adaptive mode that mixes keyboard and controller, ultrawide monitors, and a set of accessibility features.
