• Bullwhip: Primary Tool / Melee
  Indy's iconic multi-tool. Used for traversal, puzzle-solving, and combat to disarm, distract, and strike enemies.
• Fists: Melee
  The primary form of combat. The game features a weighty and impactful first-person brawling system.
• Improvised Weapons: Melee
  Players are encouraged to use a wide variety of environmental objects as makeshift weapons, from shovels to violins.
• Firearms: Ranged
  Includes period-accurate pistols and other firearms. Gunplay is intentionally de-emphasized and treated as a last resort, with ammunition being a valuable resource.

• Pistols (Semi-Automatic, Revolver): Sidearm
  Ellie and Abby use various pistols, including semi-automatics and revolvers. Can be upgraded for stability, fire rate, capacity, and equipped with silencers (craftable for some).
• Rifles (Bolt-Action, Semi-Automatic): Primary Firearm (Long/Mid Range)
  Includes hunting rifles, military-style semi-auto rifles. Good for medium to long-range engagements. Upgradable with scopes, stocks, etc.
• Shotguns (Pump-Action, Double Barrel, Semi-Auto): Primary Firearm (Close Quarters)
  Devastating at close range. Different types offer varying fire rates and capacities. Ellie uses a pump-action, Abby can find others like a double barrel.
• Bow (Ellie): Silent Ranged
  Ellie's signature silent weapon. Can use standard arrows, craftable explosive arrows, and later, poison arrows (DLC/Remaster). Arrows can often be retrieved.
• Crossbow (Abby): Silent Ranged
  Abby's primary silent ranged weapon. Fires retrievable bolts. Can be upgraded with a scope and stability improvements.
• Submachine Guns / Automatic Weapons (Limited): Primary Firearm (High Rate of Fire)
  Some automatic weapons like SMGs or military rifles are available, particularly for Abby. Ammo can be scarce.
• Melee Weapons (Pipes, Machetes, Hammers, Baseball Bats, Switchblades, etc.): Close Quarters Combat (Upgradeable)
  A wide variety of improvised and dedicated melee weapons. Can be upgraded by attaching blades or bindings to increase damage and durability. Break after extended use.
• Explosives (Molotov Cocktails, Pipe Bombs, Trap Mines): Throwable / Deployable
  Craftable explosives for area denial, crowd control, or dealing with tough enemies. Trap mines can be placed strategically.
• Utility Items (Smoke Bombs, Stun Bombs, Health Kits): Tactical / Survival
  Craftable items for creating diversions (smoke bombs), incapacitating enemies (stun bombs), or healing (health kits).
• Flamethrower (Abby - Late Game): Heavy Weapon
  A powerful, fuel-based weapon found by Abby, effective against groups of infected or heavily armored humans.
• Silencers (Craftable): Weapon Attachment (Stealth)
  Can be crafted and attached to certain pistols and SMGs to allow for silent ranged takedowns. Have limited durability.

• No Equipable Armor System: Neither Ellie nor Abby equip traditional armor pieces that provide direct stat bonuses or can be upgraded. Their survivability is determined by their base health (which can be increased via skill upgrades for Abby, and finding Training Manuals that unlock health skills for both), player skill in combat/stealth, and the use of health kits. Clothing changes are purely cosmetic and tied to story progression or unlockable skins in the Remastered version.
• Crafted Items & Skill Upgrades (Implied Protection/Resilience): While not 'armor,' skills related to damage resistance, faster healing, improved dodging, or increased health act as a form of defensive progression. Crafting potent health kits is crucial. Some weapon upgrades might improve handling, indirectly aiding defense by allowing quicker enemy dispatch.

• Ellie's Outfits: Ellie wears several distinct outfits throughout the game, reflecting the different environments and stages of her journey (e.g., Jackson winter gear, Seattle casual/combat attire, Santa Barbara outfit). These are story-dictated and not directly customizable by the player in the base game beyond what's equipped for a chapter. The Remastered version adds unlockable cosmetic skins for Ellie.
• Abby's Outfits: Abby also wears different outfits based on her role and location (e.g., WLF soldier uniform, more rugged attire later). Similar to Ellie, these are tied to story progression. The Remastered version adds unlockable cosmetic skins for Abby.
• Backpack Customization (Minor): While not extensive, Ellie can find and attach keychains to her backpack, which are small cosmetic collectibles.
• Unlockable Skins (The Last of Us Part II Remastered): The PS5 Remastered version introduces a variety of unlockable cosmetic skins for both Ellie and Abby, as well as weapon skins. These are earned by completing challenges in the 'No Return' mode or through other means, and can be applied in Story Mode or No Return.

The game does not feature a traditional XP-based leveling system. Progression is tied to discovering new tools, upgrading the iconic whip, and improving Indy's gear. There are separate, adjustable difficulty settings for combat and puzzles, allowing players to tailor the challenge to their preference.

The game features a hybrid design, blending linear, cinematic sequences with large, open-area sandbox hubs. Key locations like the Vatican, the Gizeh plateau in Egypt, and the jungles of Sukhothai are expansive, explorable zones filled with optional side quests, collectibles, and environmental secrets.

• Abby Anderson: Protagonist / WLF Soldier
  The second main playable character. A strong and capable soldier in the Washington Liberation Front (WLF). Her own quest for revenge intertwines with Ellie's, and players experience a significant portion of the game from her perspective, revealing her motivations and relationships.

• Optional Exploration Areas & Encounters
  Within the larger 'wide-linear' levels, there are numerous optional buildings, side paths, and hidden areas to explore. These often contain valuable resources, collectibles (Artifacts, Trading Cards, Coins), safes, Training Manuals, or trigger small, unscripted encounters with enemies.
• Puzzle Solving (Environmental & Mechanical)
  Integrated into level progression, players must solve environmental puzzles involving finding paths, moving objects (like dumpsters), using ropes for traversal, restoring power to doors, or finding safe combinations.
• Major Set-Piece Encounters & Boss Fights
  Spectacular, highly scripted action sequences and challenging boss fights against unique infected (like the Rat King) or formidable human opponents. These serve as climactic moments within the narrative.
• No Return Mode Runs (Remastered)
  In the roguelike 'No Return' mode (PS5 Remastered), each 'run' consists of a series of randomized combat encounters with different objectives (e.g., survive waves, assassinate a target, hold a position) culminating in a boss fight. Successfully completing encounters and runs unlocks new playable characters, skins, and gameplay modifiers.

A standalone multiplayer game set in The Last of Us universe (reportedly titled 'The Last of Us Online') was in development but was later announced to be canceled or significantly re-evaluated by Naughty Dog. The Last of Us Part II itself is a purely single-player experience.

The game is available in a Standard Edition ($69.99) and a Premium Edition ($99.99). The Premium Edition includes three-day early access, a cosmetic outfit, a digital artbook, and access to the 'The Order of Giants' story DLC. It is also available day one on Xbox Game Pass.

Available in Standard Edition, Special Edition (SteelBook, art book), Collector's Edition (Ellie statue, bracelet, art book, lithograph, pins, stickers, digital content), and Ellie Edition (Collector's content + Ellie's backpack replica, soundtrack vinyl). A PS5 remaster, 'The Last of Us Part II Remastered,' was released in January 2024, including graphical enhancements, new modes like 'No Return' (roguelike survival), Guitar Free Play, Lost Levels with developer commentary, and DualSense integration.

A major story expansion, 'The Order of Giants', is set for release on September 4, 2025. This DLC cleverly integrates into the main campaign's early-game Rome hub and features a dynamic difficulty system that scales the challenge based on the player's overall story progression.

No major story DLC was released for The Last of Us Part II. The primary post-launch addition was the 'No Return' roguelike survival mode, new skins, and Lost Levels included in 'The Last of Us Part II Remastered'. The original game received updates for difficulty modes (Grounded) and accessibility.

• Q: Is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle a third-person game like Uncharted?
  A: No, the game is primarily played from a first-person perspective to fully immerse you in the role of Indiana Jones. It seamlessly switches to a third-person view for traversal actions like climbing and swinging, as well as for cutscenes.
• Q: When is the story set?
  A: The story is set in 1937, placing it between the events of the films 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'.
• Q: Is it an open-world game?
  A: It features a hybrid design. It has linear, cinematic story missions, as well as large, semi-open sandbox hubs (like the Vatican and Giza) that are filled with secrets and optional side quests.
• Q: Is the game on Game Pass?
  A: Yes, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle was available on day one for subscribers of Xbox Game Pass.

• Q: Is The Last of Us Part II a direct sequel to the first game?
  A: Yes, it is a direct sequel set five years after the events of The Last of Us Part I, continuing the story of Ellie and Joel.
• Q: Do I need to play The Last of Us Part I before Part II?
  A: It is extremely highly recommended. The Last of Us Part II's entire narrative, character motivations, and emotional impact are built upon the events and relationships established in the first game. Playing Part I first is essential for full understanding and appreciation.
• Q: Why are there two playable characters, Ellie and Abby?
  A: The game features a dual protagonist structure to explore themes of perspective, empathy, and the cyclical nature of violence. Playing as both characters allows players to understand the motivations and experiences of individuals on opposing sides of a deeply personal conflict.
• Q: Is The Last of Us Part II an open-world game?
  A: No, it is not a traditional open-world game. It features large, expansive 'wide-linear' levels that offer significant room for exploration, stealth, and finding alternate paths, but players are generally guided along a narrative through-line within these zones.
• Q: What is 'No Return' mode in The Last of Us Part II Remastered?
  A: 'No Return' is a new roguelike survival mode added in the PS5 Remastered version. Players choose a character (from a roster including Ellie, Abby, Joel, Tommy, and others, each with unique traits) and attempt to survive runs through randomized encounters, earning currency to unlock new characters, skins, and gameplay modifiers.
• Q: Are there different endings in The Last of Us Part II?
  A: The Last of Us Part II has one primary, definitive ending to its main narrative. Unlike some RPGs, player choices do not lead to branching endings for the core story, though the interpretation and emotional impact of the ending are subject to player perspective.

Powered by an advanced version of Naughty Dog's proprietary engine, The Last of Us Part II is renowned for its groundbreaking graphics, particularly its incredibly detailed character models, lifelike animations (especially facial animations), and meticulously crafted, dense environments. Features advanced lighting, realistic weather effects, and a stunning level of environmental detail and decay. The PS5 Remastered version offers enhanced fidelity, native 4K, and higher framerate options.

Original score composed by Gustavo Santaolalla (returning from Part I) with contributions from Mac Quayle for more intense combat/Abby segments. The music is deeply emotional, often melancholic, featuring acoustic guitar, strings, and ambient textures that perfectly underscore the game's tone. Sound design is incredibly realistic and impactful, crucial for stealth (enemy callouts, footsteps), combat (visceral weapon sounds, infected screeches), and environmental immersion.

Features an immersive and minimalistic HUD. Health is often indicated by screen effects and character animations rather than a persistent bar (though one can be enabled). Ammo count and equipped items are displayed contextually. Crafting and upgrade menus are accessed through Ellie's/Abby's backpack. Listen Mode highlights enemies through walls. The UI is designed to keep players immersed in the world.

Naughty Dog set a new industry standard for accessibility with Part II, offering over 60 options. These include comprehensive control remapping, extensive subtitle/caption customization, options for visual aids (high contrast mode, screen magnifier, traversal/combat audio cues), navigation and traversal assistance, options to skip puzzles, combat accessibility (invisible while prone, reduced enemy perception/accuracy, auto-pickup), and text-to-speech/speech-to-text features.
