Definitely not GOTY or a 10/10. The storyline is superb, but in the end I found myself playing to advance the storyline more than to enjoy the game.
Gameplay suffered as a result of the story-centric design. Segments where unlimited ammo were given broke immersion and having a partner that could walk around shouting at you while you're hiding, while enemies ran straight past them didn't help either. The gameplay repetitively cycled between stealth scene, action scene, water puzzle and interactive cutscenes.
I played on normal and the difficulty was fine, but a survival-horror TLOU is not. Instant respawn moments before death makes death meaningless in the game, and the game was more action than horror.
Overall an 8.5/10. Would have made an excellent movie or mini-series, on par or better than Walking Dead (when it was still good)
