A good game shackled by the reputation of being a masterpiece, or being the profane icon of the medium's worst generation. While the story is simple, I appreciate it most when it focuses on sympathetic characters and their growing relationships. The ending especially works off this; turning what should be an unambiguous turn to evil into something I honestly understood the reasoning for. The gameplay is much the same way, a simple third-person shooter that shines when utilizing its unique mechanics. I only wish I was pushed to scavenge and craft during combat more, because it's really engaging in a firefight.

Also, Resident Evil 4 is just as "cinematic" as this game but people aren't ready for that conversation

In my opinion? Yeah, and it isn't particularly close. Though to be fair, it's more due to industry and cultural trends.
