Although many of the in-game locations are overgrown or falling apart, many fans who are familiar with Seattle will recognize the city's iconic locations. Throughout the game's 25 hour playtime, players are able to explore much of downtown Seattle, including the Seattle Courthouse.
Although Naughty Dog is not the first to replicate maps of modern cities, the video from ElAnalistaDeBits shows how accurate it has been. Doing this will often result in the discovery of unique Easter Eggs within the game, and has also prompted fans to compare the game's map to real world locations.īecause a large majority of the game takes place in an overgrown Seattle, Washington, one player has taken it upon themselves to compare real-world Seattle to its overgrown counterpart in The Last of Us 2. This semi-open world style of gameplay differs from previous Naughty Dog games, as it does not clearly tell players where to go, but rather forces them to explore the world as completely as possible.
On June 19, Naughty Dog released the long-awaited sequel in its survival thriller series, The Last of Us Part 2. The game boasts an expansive world, which allows players to feel as if they are actually exploring the overgrown city of Seattle.
