Should You Unlock All Characters
Yes, I believe unlocking all characters is absolutely necessary in The Last of Us Part 2 No Return Unlock Characters.
The No Return features rogue-like elements and replayability. Even if you master the playstyle of one character by doing runs over and over again, the gameplay loop will get pretty boring quickly. Unlocking more characters and trying runs with all ten will keep the replay value fresh and you will get to handle enemy encounters a bosses from a different perspective, which is the direct appeal of this new game mode.
That is everything you need to know about how to unlock all characters in The Last of Us Part 2 No Return game mode. If you find this guide helpful, then I highly recommend you also visit The Last of Us 2 All Safe Codes & Locations, and combat tips and tricks guides.
