Melee AI in 'The Last of Us Part II'
After The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, Naughty Dog decided to upgrade melee combat experience to bear equal weight to gun combat, with more emphasis on player skills and tight controls. Melee combat is much more intimate than gun combat, so the slightest hiccups in behaviors, visuals, or controls, would be greatly amplified.
