Naughty Dog tried to give fans a totally different story-telling experience by telling The Last Of Us Part 2 story from two different perspectives. It isn't only that you get to play as two different protagonists but also that they are enemies and have more in common than they'd like to admit. Most of the time, Ellie's actions answer Abby's and vice versa, creating the revenge cycle that the plot is all about.

To do this, the game takes you on a 3-day journey throughout Seattle, a city filled with paramilitaries, cultists, and, of course, dangerous zombies. For the first part of the game, you'll play those three days as Ellie in her search for Abby. For the second half, you'll play through the same three days but this time as Abby, and you'll get to experience Ellie's actions from the other side.
Of course, some things happen outside of those three days, like Joel's death or Ellie's and Dina's family life at the farm. Still, the vast majority of the game happens during those three days. Don't forget that during these chapters, you'll get to explore The Last Of Us Part 2, finding tons of collectibles, like training manuals (that actually enhances Ellie's or Abby's abilities), trading cards, locked doors, and safes.
