- The Last of Us 2 Remastered (PS5) - Full Joel No Return Gameplay Walkthrough (S Rank) #tlou2 #ad #ps5
Special thanks to PlayStation for providing me with an early access review code of The Last of Us 2 Remaster.
A complete run of the "No Return" roguelike mode in The Last of Us 2 Remastered on the PS5 using Joel. This run also achieves an S Rank on Moderate difficulty and features the Rat King as the final boss.
No Return is the Roguelike survival mode included with the The Last of Us 2 Remastered. It features randomised encounters in which you will face different foes and partake in a variety of different modes. Once you complete 5 encounters, you will then fight the boss at the end. If you die during any of the encounters you will fail the run. Play as characters such as Ellie, Dina, Tommy, Joel, Lev, Abby, Mel, Manny who each have their own strengths.
Gameplay captured using the performance rendering mode.

5:44 I love that little exchange between Tommy and Joel
I hope theres a prequel to when younger joel and tommy were surviving before the first game takes place 🤞🏼
I despise how they take the dodge mechanic from Joel in Part I and this remaster. Having dodge makes the combat so much more engaging and skill based. Absolute terrible decision.
It’s only he and Tommy who can’t dodge, but they both get their own unique fully upgraded weapons instead so it’s just a compromise for that I think
@@HarryNinetyFourare they able to dive and jump?
Joel can jump, I do in this video at some point I think when tried to reach somewhere. Diving im not sure
He’s literally old what do you expect?
@@Kiddo_williamsAt least give him some dodging mechanic old or not he had dodging in the 2012 e3 gameplay why not add it here?
I'm glad we're playing with Joel again like old times :)
Imagine making joel (most valuable character) a playable character again only to give him abbys animations...seems extremely lazy lol
Yes...
you guys just cant stop complaining about EVERYTHING.
Imagine saying straight facts and then claim it as complaining. Especially when the animations of Joel exists within TLOU Part 1 too. @@Diego-by2qg
Not lazy, they would have to rework all enemy animations since they are made to fit the dodging mechanic.
Plus adding Joel's block mechanic.
@@logygm4335 read the third comment...dude they literally have animations for Joel for part 2 lol 😂
This is Abby with joel texture and no dodging
true lol
At the end, they double trolled you with those 10bucks, and you are playing as Abby again lmao
@@andyxb1 lmao
21:28 I love this soundtrack
Seems very fun I might give it a try, the only thing I don’t like is that Joel runs and moves like Abby and he can’t dodge
Yeah they shoulda brought back Joel's animations from tlou1 and put them into him and Tommy but it's still good
@@iine_simakuru_hito because it is just a videogame and it's not real ?
wait for pc modders
@@mitetobozhilov7204 That wouldn't work since the they're two different gameplay systems. Fluidity and agile movement was in mind when coming up with the mechanics for 2, so there are a lot of variants for different things, it wouldn't translate 1-1 with the "stiff" animations of the original; they'd have to either do lots of editing and fill in the gaps or just make the whole thing from scratch.
And that's also why Abby's animations look a bit odd as is anyway, because as the other commenter points out, Joel is an older man.
@@limitless1181Game hasn’t even announced yet for Pc and I doubt that will be modable since it’s online and records are tracked.
I'm not a fan of Joel's animations to be quite honest, looks like the same ones used for Abby. But regardless, it's such a relief for us to play as Joel in this mode.
Yea he looks kinda gay when he’s running
Thought I was the only one who noticed. His movements look more feminine compared to TLOU1, especially the sprinting animation.
@@principe7779Yee
bro really said looks kinda gay like you can identify gay people by looking at them @@principe7779
I think all of the characters unfortunately have the same animations as either Ellie/abby. I would’ve liked more unique animations depending on who you’re playing as, because it kinda feels lazy this way
So this illustrates for me the difference between dodging (a character-specific ability) and going prone (an updated gameplay ability from PT1->PT2). Awesome!
How does this work? I hadn't seen this teq before. Does going prone give you more time to shoot, or just a better angle ton shoot?
@@scuzabutacusmost likely more stability which lessens weapon sway during aim
I love no return. Much more content in it than I expected
It's so nice seeing someone with skill and that actually knows how to play The Last of Us. Most of the gameplay I've seen has been dumasses fumbling with the contols, constantly using melee when they want to reload.
Lmao it happens to me but when I use listen mode I melee instead
This guy is not even that good..😭
@@positive976 yeah he just plays in moderate
Dude not everyone is good. I doubt you are as well
@@MsDarkspyro But you can see videos with tittle like "S rank" or things that pretend we're gonna see pro gameplay but they are simply playing very easy or their gameplay isn't that good. He didn't pretend to be a pro.
Did anyone else notice
Joel moves like Abby 😅
Yeah and it’s weird
Same shotgun and rifle too 🫠
@Black34879 yeah I'd noticed
And same pistol
Joel rlly can’t take break on part 2
Why didn't they just use the part 1 animations??
Just what I thought, He uses abby's animations
Yeah what an idiocy lol. Why not animations from Part 1 remake
@@lepersonnage371 because the gameplay of 2 is different, it doesn't make sense to want to introduce the mechanics of 2 when the gameplay changes completely, and if you want to know, in Part 1 he doesn't even dodge or lay down, it's the same gameplay as the original, and that was the only thing that I didn't like there because in other aspects they totally changed the game.
@@Gushing__4 but what does the animation have anything to do with the gameplay? Just cause you change the animations doesn’t automatically mean you have to change the mechanics on how Joe plays.
@@easternunit2009 animations are basically complements to gameplay lmao
Animations are directly tied to gameplay lol what @@easternunit2009
If you play this, do you unlock points to spend stuff in the extras menu? Like concept arts, character skins, etc.?
Im just saddened that there wasnt a coop option for this game mode, missed opportunity imo, it also makes me miss multiplayer playing this game mode, hope one day it gets a standalone or added into the game
They should have really added coop. Would have made for much more replayability
That movement is not Joel, just ctrl c+ctrl v Abby's
Copied for those who don't know😅
Why didn't they use animations from the remake?
@@BloodAssassinI think because the melee animations are better in part 2
@@Spoopy_man ok
@@Spoopy_man Naughty dog just made the easiest choice. Joel's movement in tlou2r looks like bitch😂
"Everyone has unique play styles!!" Then they proceed to give Joel all of Abbys animations lol.
Not trying to defend this lazy action but animations are not = to play style buddy.
@@ppikach64
Sounds to me like you are.
@@groovingames215 so every pokemon has the same playstyle? Since the attacks share the same animations on every pokemon. Or does every 8 Bit RPG character play the same since they share so many animations? Better example, in baldurs gate 3 the magic classes have like 5 different animations for different spell types they share with each other, yet every class plays completely different. Think before you get salty
@@ppikach64whats a pokemon ?
@@ppikach64 the point is nobody wants to have these unique play styles if they're just gonna waste our time with a shitty reskin of a almost universally hated character.
Kinda wish they kept Joel animations from part I
This Abby/Ellie mix up doesn’t seems right
5:55 amazing shots
I will say that I’m bummed that they recycled Abby’s animations for Joel and Tommy. They could have imported Joel’s animations form Part I and this would have been preferable to the way in which he moves currently.
That being said, I’m still happy to be able to play as Joel and Tommy in the second game regardless. The fact that there is a game mode in which we can focus exclusively on the game’s masterful combat with high replay value is a positive. At least they come with their own starting load out, play style, and voice lines. Not a total loss, people. Just my two cents.
It's definitely a technical thing. There's no prone, jump and a lot of nuanced interaction animations in Part 1 so they'd either have to make a whole new set of animations for Joel or tween his existing ones from Part 1 with other characters from Part 2. Or, they could just use the existing fully-rigged skeleton and change the skin, which is what they opted to do. I think it's pretty sensible, wouldn't make sense to make new animations for small game mode in a remaster. If you look at the other characters, the smaller frame ones use Ellie's animation and the stockier characters use Abby's. I imagine there's a feature set that is incomplete in NPC skeletons since they don't need to interact with objects the same way the player character does.
Yeah, overall because the combat was the real selling point of Part 2 since the story fell flat on its ass ofc. It works. Now, what it could really use is some co-op play!
@@dominicsawicki6943 It makes sense. Plus, people seem to forget that Abby’s brawler fighting style is based off of Joel’s. They originally developed Abby to fight the way she does in Part II because of Joel. In a way, it still very much feels the way Joel would fight because, well, he’s also a brute lmao.
I don’t mind using Abby’s fighting animations, but I still would’ve not used her running animation at least. They could’ve just ported over Joel’s run from the remake, I’m sure. Even so, it’s still not as big an issue as people are making it out to be. I’ve already sunk quite a bit into this game mode and I’m not even through the bosses yet.
@@cjwat1118 I will say that I loved the story very much in Part II. It wasn’t perfect, but I loved it.
The gameplay is undeniably the best in the series thus far for sure.
Co-op would’ve been sweet!
@@michaelrey2159understand the person you are replying to probably was told to hate the story by "anti-woke" grifting content creators.
I thought Joel couldn't prone too. Turns out he could fortunately.
why does he move like Abby and not Joel ☹️
Think it’s just to emphasise he can’t dodge, I don’t think Abby can either in this
EDIT: I checked and she can, it’s just Tommy and Joel who can’t
newsflash: ALL game devs re-use animations ALL. THE. TIME. Any character who punches enemies will share takedown animations with each other. Even the TLoU Remake brought in some takedown & melee animations from TLoU2, adding to Joel's pre-existing anims. It's possible that some of Joel's unique stuff (for ex: the headbutt) might be in here.
@@SidPhoenix2211i sincerely doubt it. so far all of his unique animations have been replaced with abbys
@@SidPhoenix2211yes, devs re-use animation, but they are still consistent, but this? This is just laziness they could've got the animations from the previous game, not literally take an animation from the opposite gender, it doesn't even feel natural he is literally moving like a young woman
@@joaolima7131 Naughty Dog only cares about money more than detailing his games well
Hopefully they’ll give a young Joel a dodge mechanic in a prequel game of the first 20 years.
Looks cool, I just wish there was a way to keep going infinitely or have more levels, 5 stages feels extremely short to upgrade and "make a build"
Yeah, there’s really no end goal too. You get a camo for weapons when you complete all challenges but that’s about it. After that point it’s just leaderboards
That fucking blows@@HarryNinetyFour
@@ZEHAHAHA9697cry
I have a few questions, so is it co op?
Can you chose to play against humans only ore infected only or is it always both.
Does it look even better then before and how manny lost levels are they and what does that inlcude? Are those levels who ar now in the main storry or is that something who is nnot in the storry but accessible true a other way? Thanks
No co op.
Sometimes you have infected and humans, sometimes only one of it in all encounters.
If you don’t play on a potato Tv it does look better.
There a 3 lost levels, they don’t include any fighting or looting just some „new“ places with some developer commentary. They were and still aren’t in the Story of the game and only take like 5-20 minutes each, depending if you listen to all comments of the devs.
Hopefully cleared everything for you
It's too bad that some of the famous characters can't dodge in this remaster.
By the way, it would be better if weapons were changeable, i mean for example joel could equip a bolt action sniper or bow instead semi and crossbow
"Look how they massacre my boy".
Naughty Dog in 2017:
“Abby has a normal female body physique, stop calling her overly masculine.”
Naughty Dog in 2024:
“Yea just throw Joel’s character model over Abby’s animations, that’ll save us a lot of work and it should look fine anyway.”
😢😂
did us dirty fr
This game mode is hella fun i’ve been hooked up for while 😂
Thank you for showing what difficulty you're playing the game on, other channels actually edit out the freaking thing, I'm not sure what they think it'll happen if they showcase it.
21:28 I love the soundtrack
Joel's game play is the real last of us. I love the moment that Joel used a rifle.
No it isn't. Stop complaining about Joel's death and get over it
@@phantomblade9167 It's hard. Because Abby Anderson is hateful.
@@phantomblade9167that's kinda harsh ngl we all have different opinions on the game
This mode is very addicting. Im loving it
Can’t wait to get my hands on it
so what happens after you complete the entire run? do you keep playing or do you just start playing as a new character and you lose your progress?
Start as new character, after boss at end it’s finished
@@HarryNinetyFour cool, could you show gameplay on grounded?
I intend on doing a video for the daily run on grounded. I have done it but it wasn’t clean run at all, not easy on grounded especially bloater bosses
I think they should've add more line for joel
Why the hell would they actually do something for the main character of the last game and most well known face of the franchise? I mean, who cares? Slap on some shitty animations used by another character, get some generic voice lines that Troy Baker probably doesn’t even remember saying and boom! You have Jo-bby?!
Seriously though, I wish they actually put a bit more care into Joel and Tommy. They’re my favourite characters and can’t even dodge but ohhhh they are “sturdier!”
Is it possible to beat all bosses in grounded ?
Thank you
I hope they implement a coop mode to no return, it would be so dope
It’s ridiculous they haven’t already
@@larrysmegma8470 basically 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Im glad we get to play as joel and tommy they badass
One time on a mystery encounter I got hunted by infected with invisible/Molotov rain mod. I died sooo quick.
Lol it looks ridiculous. Joel looks like hes fucking floating because hes using ellies movements. If they werent gonna implement the dodge mechanic anyways why didnt they just fucking reuse part 1s animation?
Joel just went Prone!! Que any and Every “WTF” Gief😩😮💨🙌🏾
The legend is back Joel is back
If Joel and Tommy can’t dodge why don’t they implement a block or shove mechanic.
Is there any cutscenes or stories after you beat runs?
No, run just completes
Looks fun
Did they do faction with this game?
dude, theese animation of joel are so funny lol
This is not joel this is literally abby they pasted joel over abby its the same thing with dina dina ain't nothing but Ellie.
What sucks is that Joel moves exactly like Abby. They were too lazy to create new animations for him.
weapon's sounds amazing in this game
Abby’s animations…Naughty Dog are really slipping. That is just lazy, but i’m not even surprised at this point
Abby com skin de Joel ...pqp são tão porcos que nem na movimentação mexeram..
i don’t like that they didn’t give him a dodge but yeah, sure, whatever… they couldn’t at LEAST gave him the counter mechanic from the first game
GGWP
Randomize characters' clothing for visual variety at each new stage if unlocked!
I have searched a lot about this mode on Google, etc., but no one has asked anything about it, and I have never come across any information about it. Is the Roguelike mode unlimited? So can we play as much as we want or no? I learned that there are 12 waves. If we finish 12 waves, does this mode end completely or do we always start from the beginning? Could you please let me know how?
Once you beat the final boss round it ends, and then you start again
@@HarryNinetyFour So it's an unlimited loop wave that when you finish the last wave, you start from the beginning again and unlock a new character?
They should add all of the first games weapons to and with longer routes
Does anyone else feel bummed they only added like 6 maps for no return? They could have included all or most gameplay areas
Are we able to choose Joel’s appearance to look like in part 1 or 2 in the no return mode?
If so how? I can only play as him in his older appearance
you have to complete his challenges
The game didn't even need a remaster, what a waste of time and effort that could be put to much better use, like an Uncharted Remake.
How do the ai partners work? Can you select whichever ally you want?
Example, playing as Joel with Ellie as a partner
Partner is usually related to the character but not always. You wouldn’t get like Manny as Ellie though however
@@HarryNinetyFour Is it only Ellie and Abby that aren't avalible as AI companions?
How do I play the lost levels just by play the regular campaign that’s remastered ?
In extras menu on main menu
@2:24 the clicker can’t go around the barrier? Does it seem like the cpu are dumber in this mode than in story mode?? Maybe it’s just me
The clicker was chained to the ground...
Damn! Joel be Zeke!
19:47 what the 💀
What are the rewards after completing a run in no return?
You slowly unlock things in the mode for each completion you do. For example at the start only the hunted and assault modes are available. You get skins for completing challenges
@@HarryNinetyFour thank u for responding!
I guess I understand the resentment in Joel taking Abby's animations, but really, it doesn't look that bad. If anything it's only noticeable after sprinting for a while.
The reason I'm excited for this is the better Lod foliage....the last of us 2 on ps4 has terrible Lod and draw distance....the worst I have ever seen is ff7 rebirth though u have grass and flowers rendering 2 feet in front of cloud
If you can play it in co-op with other players (let say Ghost of Tsushima legend style) it would be perfect but still amazing mode
Can Joel go prone? Hide in long grass. ( Hillcrest Houses Area).
He can yes
Not to hate but as someone who didn't dig this game's story, but loves the gameplay, this looks awesome. Now I just have to be able to run it without my PC picking up smoking habits.
The Last of Us Part 2 that we all wanted anyway thank you naughty dog
The reason why Joel and Tommy don’t have dodge because they are tanks and if they can dodge they will be a cheat code in the game 😂
Am I seeing correctly? Does Joel move like Abby?
Looks alright. I wish had Ps5. I dont want to spend half a band for this system.
Bro dude I'm on the same boat. Have the PS4 version and want to play the NO Return but I ain't spending an arm for the PS5. 😅
@@rhetorical5271 same, but honestly i'd be happy if they just patched the ps4 version to be 60fps
So joel can prone, but can’t dodge?? ND weird asf for that one
well in return u have the brick smash, which one shot clickers and stalkers, saving time during the Home Depot section.
And also his gear is super strong, like the damn revolver one shot almost any infected so yeah his gear is favorable in terms of power but he can't dodge, kinda like Wesker in RE4 Remake Mercenaries where he has very few healing items and reduced herbs drop-rate in return for being KUNGFU PUNCHING ASSHOLE badass + parry almost anything, including bosses one hit kill animations.
Logistically he can, I guess it's just a trade off for gimmicks
Revolver will one shot the runners but that’s all, needs to be a headshot else on other infected and human enemies. The best two characters in my opinion are Tommy and Manny
@@HarryNinetyFour hmm still i'm glad the brick method is ported to Part 2, that mechanic is such a savior for Joel tho.
Yet again i'll wait this comes to PC, headshots ain't a problem son when it comes to mouse aiming ;)
Going prone in Part 1 would have required a major refactoring of the levels in Part 1. It's a new feature for Part 2, why take that away?
Definitely was a missed opportunity on having online co op
Where did spider wuss go
Spidddeerrrr wussss come out and playyyyyy
Ahora tiene 3 armas 22:46 por fin solo hubo dos armas absurdo pero la 1 si venia mas
One of the best games ever so addictive
If you complete a run with a character, and play a new run. Are all your weapon upgrades still there?
This is why I got part 2 remastered.
What’s Joel doing in Seattle? Lol
Alternate Reality in which Ellie died and Joel lived...out here looking for Abby. Lol and this time...he gonna drown her.
@@austintoler820 ohhh, this was an option in the game?
@@pushvedula5640ya it’s an option in the game alternative decisions
No mod needed baby let's go 😭😭❤️
Trophy guide for the grounded run?
It would be difficult to as the grounded run changes everyday
Think if this was co op lord!!!!
Tbh I was more excited to play as tommy. Was really bummed out there wasn't a skin of him missing his eye. Drop the ball there. ND
There is
How the hell does one manage to put 12 rounds in a revolver
Good to see but i wanted to play this online or splitscreen with my sister... hard pass for me
This is the biggest Gut Roar i have ever seen from the creators of TLOU, 10 dolars for some stuff that they didnt put on the original just for being too lazy.
wait can he does the brick smash like last game ?
Yes
@@HarryNinetyFour HA-LE-LO-YAH
i thought the devs nerfed him by not having brick smash lol
Finally we can one shot clickers with those damn bricks and save time on encounters >:D
@chromatrescu right, but can't ellie and everyone else do it too? Joel just seems too weak for arguably the strongest lore wise
@@poordude21 nope they can only throw brick, results in a waste of bottle and a durability of ur melee
Its’s out?
Not yet, is a early access, it releases on friday 19 january
Why couldn't we get this model of Joel in the remake?
it's the same model wdym
Encounters are too short
I’ve been playing it for a while now so kinda got better and quicker. Modes like hunted last a lot longer but didn’t have it this run
@@HarryNinetyFour gotcha. Is it the same exact run with each character? Same locations?
It’s completely random every time
for some damn reason playing as Joel in this game feels so weird compared to Joel feeling natural to play as in the first game
They recycled Abby's movement and interaction animations from the 2020 Tlou2
How do you unlock joel?
Need to do a full run with all of the “Ellie Faction” characters and he is the last. Think it is Ellie, Dina, Tommy then Joel
@@HarryNinetyFourjesse too
Algo que no me gusta es que Joel tiene las armas de Abby pudieron haber puesto el rifle de repetición en vez de el de asalto
Además de que también se mueve como Abby.
@@Speed249 LIT, debieron haber puesto los movimientos del remake de parte 1 pero conociendo a naughty dog...
Siento que estoy viendo a Abby con la skin de Joel

Why wouldn’t they just try and remake Joel’s animation?
Can this be played on ps4
nope
@@evryfckinnameistaken that sucks
Neil Druckmann bastard, he has no forgiveness for what he did to Joel and Tommy in the HORRIBLE part 2
