'Are you two good?' Dina asks shakily, to which Ellie quickly changes the subject to explaining the silly plot of the corny '80s action movie she's planning to watch. Ellie awkwardly says she's going to watch a movie with him when Dina asks if she has plans for the night. Her relationship with Joel, the protagonist from the first game, sounds strained. It's quiet and slow, and as the two talk, we get more insight into how Ellie's been doing since we last saw her.

On Survivor, goods are always scarce, and encounters are in turn actually frightening. In my few playthroughs of The Last of Us over the years, on Normal I'd be sitting pretty on a stockpile of makeshift grenades and ammo, and consequently never felt like I was ever in palpable danger. For how brutal the combat looks, it never feels as intense in action. The Last of Us is at its best on its Survivor mode difficulty.
