David and Ellie’s cabin defense) but for the most part, the attackers came in relatively manageable waves. Back in 2013, they might have duped you back into believing that an unrelenting swarm was pouring through the windows (e.g. The segment is a massive step up from comparable moments in the first game, wherein you’d rarely see more than a handful of infected at any given juncture. Yet it is uniquely rattling in this particular case, thanks to the sheer volume of runners that are nipping at your heels. You’re essentially performing the same reflexive interactions that Nathan Drake would be carrying out under similar circumstances. In that respect, Abby’s manic dash towards the ski lodge outpost, near the start of TLOU2, is hardly a radical departure from the formula.
