    I would say the main difference is the focus. Instead of mainly fighting zombies, The Last of Us tries to focus more the human element during an apocalyptic event.

    On a larger scale yes very much so. It’s mushroom zombies which gives them some cool variants and interesting ways to have threat rather than just the shambling hoard.

    On a small scale is about a journey made cross country in the apocalypse by two people and their relationship.

    I’d recommend both the games, though the first is better, and the TV series as very enjoyable and worthwhile.

    I think TLoU nails elements that WD comic did good at, and the show got close to but didn’t quite nail. Mostly the human element.

    Both are good, if I could only watch/play one, TLoU gets it. But lucky us we often have room for both!

    Kinda, but more importantly it’s better (IMO, of course). Both the TLoU games and the show are better than the TWD comics and all shows. TWD feels like early 2000s TV in a way, kinda janky.

      I struggled with the comics (before the show was out) because the male characters all looked the same lol
