Sex & Nudity
-
- Rape is mentioned
- Some sexual references in dialogue sequences, usually spoken by survivors and overheard by Joel.
- Some minor flirting between Joel and Tess during the Summer chapter but nothing explicitly sexual.
- If you chose God-Blessed setting in the game (no gore/suggestive content) option, you won't even come across cleavage. So if you choose that, no nudity at all!
- Ellie makes sexual remarks when looking through an adult magazine, e.g. "Oh. Why are these (pages) all stuck together," (the scene is played for humor.)
Violence & Gore
-
- The Last of Us is a Zombie-apocalyptic game, and it has some disturbing zombie creatures, like stalkers and bloaters, with blossomed head and brain.
- Very graphic and detailed violence(not much as the second game) shooting enemies will destroy their body parts, heads splatter and a lot of blood can be seen. Enemies will scream in agony if you disember them
- You can bash in enemies' heads by smashing them against a wall.
- This game has some scary moments like sneaking around places or trying to stay quiet.
- During gameplay, you can see some blood.
- In the game you are given the option to kill or spare human enemies. They will beg for their lives when you do this. However if you choose to spare them they will eventually attempt to kill the player again.
- You can choose to avoid violence and instead just run.
- If you use a powerful weapon, you can propel enemies far away.
- Shotgun can pretty much splatter the entire body of an enemy. Again the violence is very graphic and detailed. Even the melee combat is rather violent in this game.
- The game has an intense tone but Ellie makes many jokes so the gameplay lightens up a lot.
- During gameplay, the player will frequently engage humans in melee and gun-based combat. Stealth can be employed to silently execute enemies with strangleholds or a knife.
- Blood splatters when characters take damage, and can pool under bodies or stain the surrounding surfaces. Enemies can also be dismembered.
- Some scenes show people being shot. Impact not shown
Profanity
-
- "F*ck" is said relatively often.
- There is swearing when the player is engaged in combat. But you are given the option to not kill any human characters (besides infected humans).
- Most of the language is said by Ellie.
- The language is spread out infrequently.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Selling drugs is mentioned twice throughout the game, once in the prologue in a conversation between Sarah and Joel ( referred to as hardcore drugs) and a second time in a conversation between Ellie and Joel as to what kind of goods him and Tess were smuggling.
- A woman pours a shot of whiskey.
- It is implied that someone had wine stashed.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Any experience with a bloater can be intense since, they are huge and you have to sneak past them.
- While this game has dark and sad moments there are these light hearted cracks in the game that can be quite calming. These moments can just be Joel and Ellie bonding in conversation or things like a scene where Ellie finds a family of giraffes and watches them wander off in the distance as hopeful music plays in the background. Moments like this are scattered throughout the game and can make it easier to push on.
- Sometimes when Joel kills someone Ellie will make a comment implying that she's disturbed by what she's seeing like: "Oh my gosh Joel!"
- There is a scene of a man trapped underneath a cupboard. No injury shown.
- The clickers are very disturbing
- If this were a movie, it would've been rated R for strong horror violence/gore, grisly and disturbing images, language throughout, and some drug content.
- 'The Last Of Us' is a survival action game set in a post-apocalyptic America.
- you see some zombies, they are scary and frightening with disturbing noises. They run at you quickly and in a menacing manner. Some use echo location to find their pray, this is especially intense
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- One of the locations in the game contains a painting of a nude woman. This, however, is hard to spot if you don't like exploring.
Violence & Gore
- Joel is brutally impaled through the chest at one point by a metal pole. He is seriously wounded from this and spends almost the entire Winter gravely wounded with Ellie trying to find medicine the entire time.
- At the game's conclusion, Joel executes one doctor but you can kill all 3 (killing all 3 is choice you only have to kill one using any weapon of the player's choice. These are perhaps the most graphic onscreen killings of the entire game. only the second and third doctor's beg for mercy.
- Joel interrogates a restrained man by stabbing him with a knife in the knee. He then proceeds to grind the knife across his knee cap. After he is done interrogating the man he executes him by snapping his neck (onscreen). He then moves on to the other restrained man and beats him to death with a pipe (mostly offscreen).
- In a scene near the end of the game Joel grabs an enemy soldier and interrogates him in a desperate attempt to find Ellie. He shoots the man 3 times in the crotch, then proceeds to execute him after he gets his info, by shooting him in the head. (onscreen) (very brutal)
- A 2-3 hour portion of the game has you playing as Ellie, a young 14 year old girl. While playing as her you fight/kill off infected and other humans.
- A man commits suicide onscreen (violent as well as emotional)
- A man is repeatedly struck in the face with a machete. While he is kept off camera, blood is seen flying everywhere. As disturbing as it is, it's also Ellie (14 year old kid) doing it which adds to the brutality of it all.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Joel's daughters dies after being shot by a soldier. This moment is extremely sad and shocking to watch as she is shown scared, sobbing and in terrible pain as Joel frantically attempts to help her to no avail. Very heartbreaking and difficult to watch.
- Joel tortures two men to find the location of Ellie after their group kidnaps her. This's quite disturbing and makes Joel look terrifying.
- Towards the end of the game a horse sadly gets shot in the head. May deeply upset horse/animal lovers. Sudden and quite shocking.
- At one stage of the game Joel and Ellie meet and team up with a man named Henry and his younger brother Sam (who's around Ellie's age). The small group bond with each other but Sam gets infected (he keeps this a secret) and later turns and attacks Ellie. Henry himself kills his infected brother. However, in his grief he turns his gun on himself and commits suicide. The scene is extremely upsetting.
- One section of the game will see the player negotiating their way around a sewer which at some point had become a thriving settlement before being overrun by infected. In one room, Joel sees the corpses of some children and a man. A nearby message explains that after being trapped in the room by the infected, he killed the children out of mercy and then committed suicide. The scene is very upsetting.
- The emotional climax of the plot is based around the moral dilemma of whether you would kill a child if it meant saving humanity. The fireflies figure out Ellie's brain have produced special antibodies that could create a vaccine, but the only way to harvest them would kill her. Joel is horrified by the fact that the fireflies would stop at nothing to do this to Ellie without her consent. He takes Ellie out of the hospital knowing that finding a cure this way would not be worth it.
- At the climax before the conclusion, the villain David is super unsettling and disturbing as well as his group. They eventually kidnap Ellie and cut up humans as well. As well as David's death which despite being offscreen is still graphic.
- The main protagonist Joel unwillingly undertakes a mission to escort Ellie, a 14-year old girl who is immune to the virus, across various cities to the medical facility of a group of rebels known as the Fireflies. Both characters grow over the course of the game as they kill people. When killing human characters, the player will be faced with moral dilemmas.
