I actually found the first game darker. It showcased things not seen before in a game and was shocking. Witnessing innocent people get slaughtered, cannibalism , suicide, near rape, .. The sequel I was able to understand because of past actions of certain characters and events and those of self defense. I initially thought the first was better till I replayed it after the second. Sequel had more encounters, better gameplay. Joel and Ellie's moments I thought were better in the sequel. Ellie was the driving force in the first game, she made the conversations and brought interest, but it was small talk. The flashback segments in the sequel was better than any moment in the first game in my opinion. Also sequel had a better ending. I was felt confused after the first game, due to Joel's actions, and the way It ended. I always did love tlou, and it's greatest is when played on grounded. But I always thought of uncharted 2 as naughtydogs best game and greatest success. Not sure if uncharted 4 topped it, but possibly tlou2.

Now this is quite a surprising opinion. Can you elaborate on your confusion with Part 1?

I didn't agree or sit right with Joel slaughtering everyone at the end, including the surgeon and Marlene. I just had a weird feeling on the inside. And the way it ended with Joel lying to ellie at the end, and the look on Ellie's face with the scene cutting to black and the music playing, I was left in disarray. Joel didn't have to kill the surgeon, or Marlene. Sure Marlene may come after ellie again, but so be it.. Marlene was never going to kill Joel. Just seeing Joel so ruthless like that, it kind of affected the build of the game towards the end. I loved the game and platinumed it , played through several times, but the that ending never sits right with me.
