In a post-apocalyptic United States overrun by infected people and dangerous survivors, Joel is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie out of a military quarantine zone. What begins as a job becomes a cross-country journey for the two.
Explore abandoned homes and ruined cities for supplies, then choose how to handle encounters: avoid enemies through stealth or fight with firearms and improvised weapons. Ammunition and crafting materials are limited, so making gear and planning confrontations are central to survival.
Find materials to craft items and improve weapons, and develop Joel’s abilities as the journey progresses. This PC edition includes the complete single-player story and the Left Behind prequel chapter, along with configurable graphics, controls, and accessibility options.
In the supplied reviews, players repeatedly praise Joel and Ellie’s evolving relationship, emotionally affecting storytelling, and the atmosphere of the ruined world. Many also enjoy the tense stealth and combat, where scarce supplies make encounters feel consequential, as well as the visuals and music.
