I play this for the story and exploration but fuck me the gameplay and combat is BAD. Why does it take 238989 bullets (that are hitting their target!) to take down one enemy? Guh it's infuriating and yet this is my third play through!

Now the story isn't even all that good, but if you like adventure games then that's definitely what you get. With a whole lot of murder and no consequences or even an acknowledgement that Nate is a mass murderer. This game definitely takes killing and violence lightly (unlike The Last of Us).

Despite it's quirks and downfalls, I clearly enjoy myself enough to revisit this game every so often. There's lots of achievements to get and using dialogue while playing as a way of storytelling works. Really like that with the Naughty Dog (Uncharted and The Last of Us) games.
