I've basically known the plot of this game for years, so I knew the general way things would go in this game and I KNOW people have been sucking this game's dick so much to the point where I feel its a bit overhyped (I suppose its fair to say I like this game, not the attitude people have towards it) but all I wanted out of this game was gruff video game dad and his daughter bonding time while exploring abandoned and overgrown buildings enjoying the melancholy of the world and some good zombie noises- and that's what I got.

What I DIDN'T expect was 100% of the PoC to die which WAS a bit distasteful- like cmon I know some white people die too but not ALL of them do- meanwhile every black person we meet dies which is :/

My Naughty Dog experience is mostly Uncharted games, which I love a lot- so seeing how they tweaked the gameplay style to feel more survival horror was fun- along with having quality presentation.

I enjoyed playing the game, I enjoyed hearing the characters banter and following their story, I liked the locations we went through and I liked how it was shown to me. Maybe just don't kill every non-white character off next time.
