After the events of the first part, the grown—up Ellie and Joel live peacefully in Jackson, a settlement free from looters and infected. Their relationship goes through a breakdown when Jackson is attacked by unknown people. Subsequent events completely change the fate of the characters. The scene is moved to Seattle, where two factions are fighting: the military and supporters of a religious cult. And Ellie will turn from a dreamy teenager into an antihero obsessed with malice. An obvious but important clarification: trying the sequel to The Last of Us without knowing the plot of the original is pointless. Before going to Seattle hell with Ellie, you need to find out how she met Joel and became a cure for the most painful trauma for him. And he is her beloved father and mentor.
