There's no doubt 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Last of Us Part 2 is masterfully crafted, but a common criticism of Naughty Dog's epic is thaꦦt sometimes the game's chronology and pacing rip you out of the action and force you to experience a flashback during a tense moment.

That's obviously subjective, but there is now a mode for those players as ꦯNaughty Dog has released a chronology mode for The Last of Us Part 2, allowing people to play through the narrative in chronological order, rather than in the standard, non-linear order.

In a post on , Naughty Dog offered its rationꦜale for adding chrꦕonological mode.

Good 'Ol Linear Forward-Moving Time

"Those who have already played will know its story is told non-linearly, as Ellie and Abby’s motivations, realizations, and emotional stakes unfold acros🧔s myriad flashbacks and present-day storylines," the post reads. "While this structure is very intentional and core to how our studio wanted Part II’s themes and narrative beats to impact players, we always wondered what it would be like to experience this story chronologically. And now finally, we can answer that question."

"Through the new Chronological mode, we believe players will gain even deeper insight into Part II’s narrative," it continues. "Players will be able to see how Ellie being gifted a guitar flows so neatly into her learning to play, for example, while the journey through Seattle will showcase the fascinating parallels between Ellie and Abby’s crisscrossing journeys. You’ll see just how close they come into running into each ot🌳her, how their actions impact each other, and more."

Naturally, the implementation of the mode wasn't as simple as moving around the game's scenes, especially when you consider the now-skewed introduction of gameplay mechanics. Though it was "no small feat", according to Naughty Dog, the studio wanted to offeඣr veterans another way of experiencing the story.

The studio still recommends new players play the story as originally intended, be▨fore trying out chronological mode.

There are new trophies associated with chronological mode, which, by completing, you can earn t🐠wo Nathan Drake-inspired outfits for Joel. I'll be the first to admit that Joel doesn't pull off the look as🎶 well as Nathan does.

Theཧ patch adding chronological🍎 mode is available now.
