I never understood why TLoU is so highly rated. The story is one of those "Get from point A to point B, then a twist or something else mindblowing at B". The characters and basically all of the interactions were great, they really were, but the story itself was just lacking IMO. The combat is extremely repetetive and dull, just like any Naughty Dogs game, and tends to become a drag fairly early on in the game. As many has pointed out, the stealth is really not that good either. The upgrade/leveling system is OK, I wouldn't say it's bad, but I don't think it's big and immersive enough to be really good either. Myself, as you can probably guess from complaints, did not enjoy TLoU too much. It was OK, I don't regret playing it, but I could never play it again. I really get why so many people like it, the interactions are in my opinion the best one I've ever experienced in a game, and the world is amazing and intriguing. What I don't get is why it's so highly RATED. As of the online, the fact that basically nobody mentions it is proof enough. It's not bad, it's not great and it makes basically no impact and gets heavily outweight by the singleplayer.
I personally loved Infinite, WAY more than TLoU, but I can also see why many would claim that it's overrated. Even though it's my GOTY, I can clarely see that it has it's fair shair of flaws. What I can say is that if you tried to play it and didn't likte it, I don't think you will suddenly start to like it after a while. The game doesn't change that much throughout, even though the combat scenarios will differ in what skills you have, the surroundings and skyhooks. I guess you CAN try to powerhouse your way into the game just so you can experience and MAYBE fall in love with it like some others, but no game is worth playing if you dislike it. My opinion, all of it, of course.
