Last Of Us 2: 25 Easter Eggs, Details & References You Need To See

8. Arcade Cabinets

Uncharted 2 last of us 2
Naughty Dog

During the section of the game where Ellie gets a boat, you pay a visit to an old, abandoned gaming arcade.

Inside, you'll find plenty of standard arcade fare, including air hockey tables, driving games, a computer lounge and cool artwork on the walls. Most of the cabinets have generic names and aren't really based on anything, but there's a fair few worth looking out for.

First of all, there's a really-cool looking cabinet for Jak X Combat Racing, the last Jak and Daxter game Naughty Dog ever made. You can also find a cabinet for 'The Turning' an in-universe game in The Last of Us, which you may recognise as being the one that Ellie pretended to play in the Left Behind DLC for the first game.

There's another cabinet which appears to be inspired by Tekken and another with artwork reminiscent of Angry Birds too.

Unfortunately you can't boot any of them up and play a minigame as you're on a revenge mission to kill Abby and there simply isn't time right now.
