The Last Of Us Part 2: Watch This Breakdown Of How The Game's Sweetest Level Was Made

This article and video contain very mild, early spoilers for The Last of Us Part II.

The Last of Us Part II is a fairly grim game, but it isn't all doom and gloom. One early section flashes back to a happier moment in Joel and Ellie's lives, when Joel gives Ellie an incredible gift: a trip to an abandoned museum, full of dinosaur skeletons. Now, Game Maker's Toolkit, has dived deep into how that section was made

Evan Hill, a former Naughty Dog level designer who led the creation of the museum (the level is called "The Birthday Gift"), says that he was given a brief two-paragraph summary of the museum's narrative function from director Neil Druckmann, but was given freedom from there.
