Hmm, overrated games... I think i'd go with...

This game is a glorified movie

Look. I know some people love this game even to die for but hear me out.

Have you personally played The last of us? Have you played it more than once?
Exactly.

Let me explain: We know this is a fairly linear game where you experience the adventures of Ellie and Joel in an apocalypse zombie filled game.

The game is all nice and good when you first go through it, great story, great plot and great characters but I think it falls short when you look at it from a replayability standpoint. Like once you finish the game what are you gonna do? Replay it on a harder difficulty? I'd understand if you first played it on easy but this game doesn't treat difficulty nor gameplay as its main points of selling the game. Enemies just become sponges and it's harder to hide from them, attacks you had to recover from are now instakills and such and the list goes on and on.

My grudge with this game is it's likeness with a movie or a book. Once you go through it, you know what's gonna happen, how and when. And when this falls short, the other features of the game fail too. The game becomes the scripted hide and seek or find cover we used through our firt playthrough. The gameplay doesn't really let you do much in terms of customizing how you play, it's always hide and seek, it's always "use a health kit while on cover whenever you're on a supposedly safe spot" and yadda yadda yadda. I could make a complete post about it and I MIGHT IF THIS AT LEAST GETS 1 UPVOTE but what really grinds my gears is that this game might have inspired other movielike games in the future. Where I think the game part is lost a little bit.

Taking something great and trying to make it something lesser just doesn't work. AND I DON'T MEAN I DON'T LIKE MOVIES... BUT Movies are just missing that bit of personality and expression we're accustomed in Videogames.

Fin.
