While it is possible to run guns blazing across every encounter, there are rewards for playing The Last of Us 2 more slowly and taking time to explore the world around you.

Don't be fooled by the general campaign's gameplay, which is fueled by constant fighting. Enjoy the graphics, notice the precise details and check all locations for loot when available. You'll be surprised what you can find.
