I stopped watching The Walking Dead because it felt so hopeless. Just death after death. No hope for a cure. The world was ugly and grotesque and lacked any beauty or compassion
The Last of Us is a post apocalypse zombie story with an overall theme of "Love". Love between siblings, between mother and child, between father and daughter (adopted or otherwise) between men, between women. All of it. The beauty, the tragedy, the heartbreak, betrayal, forgiveness, sacrifice.
It focused on the humanity and compassion that people can show even when the world has ended for them (physically or figuratively) it was about hope overcoming despair and the beauty of the world peeking through the ugliness of death and violence.
As someone who was burned out by generic zombie shows loaded with intestines being pulled out of people's guts and brains being splattered onto walls, it was a breath of fresh air for me.

Lol cure? U must have stopped in season 1. Walking dead definitely had some last of us type moments.
The downside of last of us is that it was too short for what kind of thing it was going for they had 3 episodes out of 9 that weren't even the Main characters and then they are like .....now she's his daughter. They travel cross country in 6 episodes then it's over 😒
