I'm really surprised that I actually liked this game. I've heard so much about cinematic Sony shooter fatigue in recent years, yet I think The Last of Us strikes a great balance between action and cinematics. In fact, this is a remarkably well balanced game in almost every aspect. Good amounts of stealth, shooting, resource management, and exploration, and it properly challenges you on your skills at just the right times. The story is alright of course, and I definitely got invested in the relationship of Ellie and Joel, but I gotta say, the ending is stupid. Oh well, I'm sure that just means it opens the door for a more interesting sequel, right? ...Right??
