Warning: Full spoilers ahead for episode 5 of HBO’s The Last of Us.
Episode 5 of HBO’s The Last of Us has arrived early and, just like in the game, it brings Joel and Ellie face-to-face with Henry and Sam – two brothers who are also trying to survive the end of the world. But, how close does their fateful and tragic meeting in the show compare to the game?
To help answer this question, we’ve gathered images from episode 5 of HBO’s The Last of Us and put them next to stills from Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us to see how faithful the adaptation is, and you can check it out below. Additionally, the video above will let you see the scenes from both the show and the game in action.
In our review of episode 5 of The Last of Us, we said it is “an excellent closing to a chapter packed full of memorable moments – some thrilling, some haunting. A standout flurry of action followed by a shocking snap of violence delivers Joel and Ellie yet another broken friendship, but not before moments of kindness and warmth are allowed to grow. It’s another fantastic episode of the HBO hit and one that builds impressively on what came before it, while ominously foreshadowing what may be to come.”
