Sex & Nudity
-
- Joel and Tess flirt a little.
- In the 'Left Behind' DLC (which is not a part of the main game), Ellie finds a skull toy, which is basically a magic 8 ball. At one point Ellie asks it, "Am I ever going to get boobs or what?"
- There is a comedic scene where Ellie finds a porn magazine (played for laughs and nothing is shown).
- Some female clickers have a breast out with a hard to see nipple.
Violence & Gore
-
- Killing is done for survival. Though it includes shooting and melee attacks. Shooting results in some blood.
- In the settings, gore can be turned off. Turning this off disables nudity (which in the first place can only be seen by finding rare paintings), dismemberments, and any over-dramatic blood bursts. It should be noted that there is still blood, it's just much less graphic.
- Because this version of the game is a graphical overhaul, blood in this game is more realistic than it was in previous iterations.
- Shotguns result in dismemberment, this is realistic. Older teens can probably handle it.
- Sometimes, after enemies are wounded, they will beg for you to spare them. Almost all of the time, the choice is at will of the player to either kill them or allow them to live.
- A tool you can use in the game is the nail bomb; nail bombs explode when enemies come into contact with them, resulting in gory dismemberment.
Profanity
-
- There are a few F-Bombs. Other milder profanities used on occasion.
- Use of "f*ck and its variants, sh*t, dick, d*mn, g***n, a**, a**hole, hell, etc." Along with infrequent use of "cocksucker" from the NPC enemies. The majority of profanity comes from Ellie.
- Human enemies sometimes swear during combat.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- David smokes a cigar in one scene.
- You can use alcohol to craft things like First aid kits. Empty beer bottles are frequently found around the map; used to create attention.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Due to some of it's content, it's best left for older teens.
- The bloaters and clickers may be scary to younger audiences, especially considering that they jump out of nowhere most of the time.
- The player will find at least two depictions of suicide throughout the game.
- Infected enemies wail and twitch on the ground when they are dismembered for a short period of time before dying.
- Finishing off injured human enemies becomes a common occurrence in the game. They often beg and bargain with the player to spare their lives, however sparing them is often not an option as they'll eventually recover and attempt to kill the player again.
- Joel and Ellie's death animations can be bloody and disturbing.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Near the end of the game a character talks about a teenage character possibly getting raped and murdered.
- Ellie nearly gets sexually assaulted. A grown man gets on top of her and says "why don't you try beggin?" He proceeds to put his hands around her throat, but before anything happens, Ellie grabs a knife and kills him.
- David is clearly attracted to Ellie, and is awkward with and around her. At some point, he arguably attempted to rape her.
Violence & Gore
- In one scene, Joel is pushed off of a balcony and lands on a metal pipe sticking out of the ground. He nearly dies but recovers. The impact is shown and so is the aftermath of the wound.
- Joel and his daughter Sarah get shot. Joel is not injured but Sarah gets shot a dies. It's extremely sad.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- At the beginning of the game, Joel's daughter, Sarah is killed by getting shot. This is sudden and may be upsetting to some.
- You find the decomposing remains of a man who hung himself after getting infected with the virus. Also, if you explore parts of one area you can find a decomposing adult along with several dead children (they are covered by a blanket). It is heavily implied that the man killed the children as a sort of "protection" from certain death by a horde of zombies.
