Pretty much any videogame can be summarised into the sum of its parts to make it seem less than it is. I won't start listing examples because it'll probably lead to derailing the thread but just think about some games you've played and think "What did I actually do in these games and how often did I repeat it?". Did that make them into lesser games?
I haven't actually played TLOU yet, so I won't offer my personal opinion on it. Suffice to say, though, that plenty of people - both reviewers and the general public - seem satisfied with what it there.
