10 Shocking Video Game Deaths You Never Saw Coming
4. Arts And Crafts Are Not Permitted - The Last Of Us 2
The Last Of Us 2 puts great emphasis on making its death scenes as realistic as possible. This means gut-wrenching pleas for mercy from your enemies, but also realistic sources of potential demises for Ellie.
Since the game takes place in post-apocalyptic United States, you should never feel safe, and that's why the game has a nasty surprise waiting for those who think they can find respite within its crafting menus.
Whenever you craft equipment at a workbench, the game seems to be paused to give you a chance to browse the available options.
However, there is one workbench in The Last of Us 2 where this simply isn't the case.
It looks like it's in a safe location, and you're allowed to check the crafting menu as usual, but at some point, as you're busy tinkering, you're going to hear subtle footsteps approaching, and then you'll be suddenly and instantly pulled out of the crafting menu by an ambusher trying to kill you!
Since the attack happens so suddenly while you're inside menus that everyone assumes are safe, it's easy to get caught off guard and lose to the attacker.
If that happens, let it serve you as a reminder that you're never truly safe in a world filled with raiders and clickers.
