The scope of the show does seem rather confined though. Not expansive like TWD. And the fact that those few episodes were the whole first game really speaks to that.

The TLOU universe and story is intentionally confined. I think that's why it had such a huge fan base when there were other huge zombie/post apocalyptic IP for video games. The relationships are the primary story with the skin of a post apocalyptic/zombie genre as the secondary.
Resident Evil, TWD, Dying Light, DayZ, L4D, Days Gone, WWZ etc. are all either too complicated or or shallow in comparison to TLOU, but primarily, they're post apocalyptic/zombie stories with relations ships secondary.
I think the only other media I can think of off the top of my head that's basically relationships first and post apocalyptic/zombie second is Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead.
