    I finally got around to playing through The Last of Us 1 & 2 and i was blown away by how polished they were. The level of detail, the art direction, the writing, the pacing, the crafting mechanics, the stealth and combat were all fantastic.

    However, i now have a TLOU-shaped hole in my life and i’m not sure any game can fill it. Any ideas on what to play that feels similar? MGSV and one or two of the Assassin’s Creed games are all i can think of but i’ve already done those and they didn’t have the crafting stuff that i grew to love.

    Ideas?

    • Horizon: Forbidden West also comes close but isn’t quite there. I like creeping around and coming up with solutions to situations beyond puzzle solvingscarabin
    • Days gone was pretty close imo, loved itYakuZoku
    • Ohh yeah, i never finished that game. Time to fire it up again!scarabin
    • I've been thinking I'm about due to replay the last of us again, curious about the revised part 1YakuZoku
    • LOU are incredible. Theres not much that’s on par story wise. Control was a nice little come down after LOU.thumb_screws
    • Red Dead 2 is up there. Or the last few Uncharted games.inteliboy
    • TLoU 2 got a lot of hate, and I can’t see why. IMO a strong game that built well on the first. The Rat King will forever be a boss fight I remember.Vandal7
    • I recommend:
      1. Horizon 2
      2. Death Stranding
      3. Alan Wake 2 (coming soon)      Vandal7
    • Oh saw you said H2, I agree with Red Dead 2 tooVandal7
    • Man, I loved TLOU Pt 2. Such an emotional journey. I totally understand the feeling of "What next? Nothing will live up to this." I was totally gutted.elahon
    • Control
      Humanity
      Stray
      ... just great games and very different      Bluejam
    • Finished stray, rdr2, and death stranding. I’ll check out control and humanityscarabin
    • Yeah, forgot about Control. Their previous game Alan Wake is remastered for PS5, with AW II coming out later this month. Control was really cool.elahon
    • That last "fight" scene in TLOU2 was fucking intense.kaiyohtee
