I think the Edge one is still not in there yet. Which might make it harder, but it isn't that bad if doesn't because TLoU was an amazing game and even to be in the same company is an accomplishment. 

GOW is better than TLOU in every way. Story, combat, content, graphics, voice acting, script, level design its just miles ahead of anything Naughty Dog has ever produced and even better than God of War 3, which really surprised me. I wasn't expecting such depth from this game's combat despite being a fan of the series, as the footage they showed was all early game. To be fair though God of War 3 still has better combat but God of War does everything else better. I'm 20 hours in and this could be my GOAT.

From what I've played so far, GoW does everything I've always wished Naughty Dog could do but have fallen short of: married a truly deep gameplay experience and amazing game design with excellent cinematic presentation of plot and characters. ND has fallen a bit flat on the former with all the Uncharted games and TLoU, imo. But GoW nails both. Definitely a new precedent for the industry.
