The Last of Us 2 Cable Physics PlayStation 4 PS4 1

The Last of Us 2 is a lot more inventive than its predecessor in the puzzle department, meaning there are only a handful of instances where you’ll be moving wooden planks and repositioning ladders. One of the new mechanics that Naughty Dog’s dreamed up is an evolution of the systems from Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and it sees you utilising ropes or cables to create makeshift climbing solutions.

But as showcased in the video embedded above, the physics are outrageous. It’s possible to get cords tangled around objects, and there’s no clipping or anything like that. The rope will pull taut when it’s trapped, and Ellie will be unable to move while she’s holding onto it. As you can see, this looks and feels great, and it really adds an extra wrinkle to the gameplay during some navigation challenges.

Of course, if you’d like to know how to use the ropes in the game to find some secrets, you can always refer to our The Last of Us 2 guide. What do you think of the title’s puzzles so far? Get wrapped up in the comments section below.
