Reply to comment by ExpensiveDonut in How violent is The Last of Us? by yeahigotnothing

I'm actually surprised by home much they are leaving to the imagination when it comes to the violence. Not that I mind but after seeing what Joel will do to NPC's and what they'll do to him it all feels pretty tame compared to the game.

Yeah Im actually pretty dissapointed by the lack of gore and violence. It takes away some of the gritty, dark and realistic atmosphere that was in the game. I think they also pretty much butchered the horror element of the games leaving it after the first two episodes.

You're absolutely right about it not being as horror focused as the games were at times. I think the tones are slightly different, the show seems a tad more optimistic and tbh more soft than the game. Not a complaint, just an oberservation. Cant wait for the last three eosidoes.
