If you’re having trouble, dive into accessibility options

The Last of Us Part 2 had more accessibility options than the original, but those options were more evenly distributed between his two games. For example, in combat you can make small tweaks like preventing enemies from getting out of holds or disabling the ability of enemies to grab allies. You can also toggle slow motion, giving you more time to think during combat scenarios, giving you more chances to perform stealth kills or better line up your shots.
Aside from combat, it also incorporates a number of traversal aids, as well as a skip-puzzle option for those unable to progress due to vision limitations. However, one of the biggest additions Naughty Dog has added is Cinematic Descriptions. This allows the cutscene to be fully narrated, giving the player descriptive audio of key visual elements during the scene without interrupting the characters’ dialogue.
