The game’s momentum does not stop there; Naughty Dog has also released new content for the game inThe Last of Us 2Grounded update. The update brings new difficulty settings that make the combat harder, as well as exciting new modifiers for the game such as cheats and ways to change the game’s visuals. Some fans might be scared to use this out of fear that it will disable trophies. However, they should rest easy knowing their gameplay experience is not as bleak as it seems.
The first clear indication that fans should be okay to use modifiers is taking a past look at Naughty Dog’s history. The company’s previous games such asUncharted 4: A Thief’s EndandUncharted: The Lost Legacydid not lock trophies after enabling cheats, so that’s a good sign for fans.The Last of Us 2has been lenient to new players with the accessibility options, so it stands to reason that it will continue this pattern.
There is a catch; players must first beat the game on any difficulty level to unlock the cheats. Since most of the trophies can be received by simply playing through the game,modifiers forThe Last of Us 2will only be helpful with finishing up the trophies players missed on their first playthrough. Sadly for players wanting to use the cheats to breeze through grounded mode, Naughty Dog disabled modifier usage for the new difficulty level.
On the brighter side, someThe Last of Us 2trophieseven encourage the use of modifiers such as the “You Can’t Stop This” trophy. It seems Naughty Dog’s intent with the modifiers was to add a unique new perspective to the game without ruining the player’s initial experience with the game. It is honorable that Naughty Dog would want to accommodate players who wish to spend less time grinding for trophies, while also upholding the integrity of its hard work that was put into the game. The decision seems like a perfect middle ground between player and company for a fun second playthrough experience.
The Last of Us 2is out now, exclusively for PS4.
