I'm gonna go with The Last of Us. Gameplay wise, Last of Us has Re4 beat. But only because of the variety that Resident Evil 4 didn't quite have. What puts Last of Us over RE4 has to be the level of immersion. You lived that world, every nuance, every house, everything. Resident Evil 4 didn't really have that. While the island was very well connected, you more or less played through it. You didn't really have to breath it in because of the pacing. The story was far more complex as well. Resident Evil 4's story was simple in comparison (Was very entertaining though). I guess to sum it up, Resident Evil 4 is a fantastic game (I personally don't believe it aged as well). It's also that, a game. The Last of Us is just so much more.
Clickers by far are more scary. They made The Last of Us very intense and I didn't have that tension until the lab with the regenerators.
