That video really makes me itch to play the game. The reason being, I kept thinking about what I would do differently from the guy playing it. I love that. There really and truly seems to be no "right" way. I even had the impression that most of the fighting could have been avoided with stealth. While I'm more of a "kill everything and find everything" player, I really like when there is a lot of variety in what paths you can travel. Anyone actually planning an approach where you live and let live?
The survival-focused, limited-resources nature of the game appeals to me as well. Seeing how few bullets the player had, it seems as though you will absolutely have to use other means to defeat your enemies beyond just shooting at them. Choke holds, make-shift melee weapons, and even just picking up stuff--the brick part was awesome--come across as vital and necessary, rather than just alternatives to the gun. That makes it more interesting, in my opinion.
I also very much like that Ellie seems to take care of herself while still being an important part of the experience.
