This game blatantly shows the Naughty Dog doesn't understand their previous games or their ability as a studio. They were never masters of gameplay, but Uncharted games were always a thrill and a blast to play with redeeming character moments and fun character interactions. Last of Us 1 was a bleaker survival game, but after every period of hopelessness there were wonderful and touching moments. This game has NOTHING for stretches of 5-10 hours. This game feels like it was made by a movie studio trying to win an Oscar, but in the end NOBODY loves the game, not even the intended audience. People deem it playable compared to releases of unfinished games which plague the industry. The game is a slog to go through. Zero fun, 1/10 would not play again, and I don't think anybody will replay it for their own enjoyment.
I don't think their is a more perfect game just by looking at it's idea and execution. I play this game as a modern Solitaire. It gives you that feeling "just one more".
