Glad you loved it. It's my second favorite game of all time.
I feel like when people criticize the gameplay, it's because the story, characters, and setting are so fantastic that it sort of overshadows the game's brilliant gameplay.
One thing I actually really like about the game is how the game that I don't think people have discussed much is how the game's difficulty fluctuates to adjust to the intensity of each of the game's moments -- so Winter and the two areas in the game where you encounter Stalkers are both the scariest parts of the game and the hardest, whereas Fall is easy, difficulty-wise, because of how calm and serene it is compared to the rest of the game. I always found this really impressive, especially since I have found that balancing difficulty has been one of Naughty Dog's greatest weaknesses over their years as a developer.
