The Last of Us if you want to be moved, Uncharted 4 if you want to have fun. They are the same studio at the same level of craft aimed at opposite feelings — one is a bleak two-hander about grief, the other is a globe-trotting adventure with jokes.
Naughty Dog's performance capture and set-piece design, and in both cases the writing is the reason people finish them.
The best-looking and best-written of the four, and the Madagascar chase is one of the great action sequences. The climbing is generous and the shooting is fine.
Slower, tenser and far more resourced-starved. The relationship at the centre is the whole game and it earns its ending.

Better is the wrong question for these two — they are close enough that the answer depends on what you want from the next twenty hours. Pick Uncharted 4 for adventure. Pick The Last of Us for the story.
