I played TLOU. I don't own it, and I won't pretend I do. I haven't played through all of it either. But from the amount that I played (and I played more than a decent amount), I can say it's focus on linear gameplay is less taxing on the engine. In a game like Skyrim, you have a huge world that is constantly being loaded and generated, with dynamic AI appearing almost at random. There is a lot of emphasis on environmental interaction, with wildlife being generated and entire mountains being scalable at once. In TLOU, you get a couple of streets or confined areas with set AI. Don't get me wrong, the game is a masterpiece in terms of story, but lets not pretend ND stumbled upon the Holy Grail of game engines.

You should have played more because you're competely wrong. TLOU has the best gameplay of any game out there but it just happens to have the best story, best characters and best acting out there too. That's why it's a masterpiece and why it's the most awarded game that's ever been made.

Almost everything you just said is subjective. Story, characters, and acting you have a case for. I've definitely had better gameplay though. For me, personally, TLOU was just another post-apocalyptic zombie shooter in a long list of post-apocalyptic zombie shooters. A great game for sure, but not quite what it's made out to be. Just me, mind you. You have your opnion on it and reviewers have theirs.
