Joel
Joel is the playable protagonist of The Last of Us, a critically acclaimed action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog. He is a smuggler tasked with escorting a young girl named Ellie across a post-apocalyptic United States. In The Last of Us Part II, he appears as a central figure whose past decisions... read more
I loved this dude. His character arc, his depression from Sarah, Tess, and Henry, and him finally accepting Ellie as a daughter to him. Amazing.
I swear his death broke me. I was barely hanging on after seeing Lee (TWD Telltale), Arthur Morgan (RDR2), and John Marston (RDR1) die, then he dies. Can't have any main characters in games.
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.

Ellie
Ellie is the deuteragonist of The Last of Us, the playable protagonist of The Last of Us Part II and The Last of Us: Left Behind, and the main character in The Last of Us: American Dreams. She is a central figure in the series, known for her resilience and emotional depth. Her character is portrayed... read more
She has one of the best scenes in gaming history and the best in The Last of Us when she kills David. The only thing I hate about her is that she spared Abby. She killed dozens of people, including a pregnant woman, just to let her go. Not to mention, SHE KILLED ALICE AND BEAR!
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.

Tommy
My favorite scene with him is when he snaps at Ellie. It made him feel even more human than I thought he felt.
-
Tess
As much as I loved Joel and was SO sad to see him die, I feel like Tess's death was just so much sadder. I would've loved to see more from characters like her, Bill, and Henry.
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.
-
Bill
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.
Honestly, he was one of the best characters in the series. I'd say top 5 for me.
A very hardcore player. He can be funny at times.

David
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.
-
Sarah
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.

Henry
His death was so sad, bro. He had to shoot his infected brother, and then he had an anxiety attack and. Yeah.

Jesse
He didn't do anything wrong. All of Abby's friends were killed by Ellie and Tommy. Tommy killed Nick and Manny, while Ellie killed Nora, Jordan, Owen, Alice, and Mel.
His death hurt me more than Joel's. He didn't kill any of Abby's main friends or even the dog. He just killed a couple handfuls of nameless Wolves and got shot just for trying to help a friend.
