Best Characters In The Last of Us

Cold, cool, flamethrower, shotgun - able to survive a sniper shot to the head, multiple gunshots, and even survived a pierce through the stomach. Oh yeah, don't forget he also beat up a bunch of guys just to find Ellie. Respect, man.

Badass character. A true survivor haunted by his past. Incredible development with every single character he encounters - especially Ellie, Tommy, Bill, and Henry. I still hope he will be a big element in Part 2.

A brilliant and conflicted character, the primary protagonist of the game. He's a hero in our eyes but a monster in the eyes of everyone he has brought harm to, especially at the end of the game.

Ellie was the heart and soul of the entire game. Since Part 2 was announced, it made me feel like the original game was setting up her story! I love Joel just as much, but if someone put a gun to my head and asked me to pick which of the two should live, I don't think I'd be able to continue the game without Ellie.

She was so helpful, trustworthy, smart, and at times ruthless. She was also voiced by Ashley Johnson. She reminded me of Sarah. She filled the gap in Joel's life left by Sarah's death. Plus, I found her kind of cool. She reminded me of my girlfriend, and she was kind of attractive.

A character with incredibly vivid humanity, emotion, and depth once you look past her surface. I would have loved to have seen more from her, especially with Joel. They absolutely had something between them beyond their professional relationship, and I would have loved to explore that further.

She died too soon. We didn't see her character develop as much as Joel or Ellie, but she noticeably goes from a smuggler trying to survive to a person who is actually willing to go with Ellie across the country.

He seems like the most realistic person in the entire game. He wasn't created to manipulate the player into feeling a certain way. He was created to be the ultimate zombie apocalypse survivor. He's hardcore, he's clever, he's resourceful, and he's creative. Even if he complains about it, he's still a nice guy who's willing to risk his life to help his friends.

A very hardcore player. He can be funny at times.

She's the most innocent, sweetest character out of the whole game. Why did she have to die, man?

She was so adorable. I wish we had gotten to know her better.

A character who I really wish would have lived. This is why she left such an amazing impact on the story. A lot of "what ifs"... truth be told, she was too good for the world to come.

A very helpful character until... he finds out who Joel and Ellie killed. Uh oh.

The only interesting character in the game. The rest are boring.
