A narrative masterpiece, no question, but there isn’t a whole lot of game to it. What’s here is fine, it’s playable sure, but linear, repetitive, restrictive, and I honestly don’t think there’s a lot you can get out of it that you can’t get by just watching a playthrough. I also somewhat resent it for starting the trend of safe, homogenous, super cinematic, self-serious, over the shoulder oscar-bait games that dominate Sony’s first party lineup now.

TLOU2 definitely plays better IMO but man that games story is so much worse. Still excited to play this again when it comes to PC
@MagMrMad I’ll reserve judgement then. My sister has the sequel, I’ll likely borrow it from her at some point.
