I've never really seen the game as being overrated. I think it's visually stunning, and a groundbreaking game in a general sense. It's way better than the lame Resident Evil 6, and a lot of other recent horror games.
Nah, it is overhyped. Still a good game but nothing out of the ordinary, just The Walking Dead with a fungus lol
The story is the same survival stuff we are used to see, infected here... Shit, some group of survivors we have to deal with. Days Gone is essentially the same thing as this and got criticized, probably because it wasn't Naughty Dog.
Not to mention that in terms of level progression it is the same thing over and over again, find a ladder or a raft. Repetitive and boring.
Not better than Resident Evil, God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2. The latter being the prime example of great storytelling using an old west setting, innovative gameplay mechanics and a damn polished one considering the size of that freaking map.
The Last of Us just takes the gameplay concept that RE created adding a few "Splinter-Cellish" stealth mechanics (Revelations 2 had similar gameplay, I know, I know... But the series started the OTS we all know and love so...
) and a story ala The Walking Dead... Not criticizing those who like it but it sure isn't anything out of the ordinary to me. I played this game one week after release so I was in line with most people as far as hype went but the final result to me was that of a good game that got way much praise than it actually deserved.
It is good, but not the best game ever like some people claim. I've played way much better games in my lifetime even without including the Resident Evil series.
