It was a good honest review.
I think maybe our playstyles differ because I played it on Hard and found the difficulty to be 'just right' but I went into it hoping for a tense Resident Evil 1/2 type experience with matching difficulty, which it pretty much nailed on hard mode.
I can see a lot of people going into it thinking it will be more shooter centric, which is understandable giving it's from the guys who made Uncharted 1-3 and being a bit taken aback by how much stealth you are forced to do because ammo is scarce and some enemies really just need to be avoided. Lucky for me I went into to primarily for the whole 'ammo is scarce' resident evil/silent hill vibe.
It's difficulty is a good point to bring up, it didn't seem equivalent to Uncharted's difficulty levels. I've completely Uncharted 1 and TLOU on hard and TLOU was far far more challenging. Personally I would say that any difficulty on TLOU is the equivalent of the next difficulty level up in Uncharted. So easy on TLOU would be normal on Uncharted, and Normal on TLOU would be Hard on Uncharted and so on.
Anyway, good to hear your opinion, glad you enjoyed the game. I'd definitely recommend the Uncharted series to you. It's a much more traditional third person shooter game, though it does still have that hint system thing you dislike.
