Critically Acclaimed Games That You Didn't Get Into

The Last Of Us - I think this is the closest of the three to a game that I just don't think works. Sure, from a narrative and presentation standpoint it might very well be the best game ever, but from a gameplay standpoint it's just unpleasant for me. I mean, it's not BAD, but steath based games have never been my thing, no matter how much I love the story and characters. Plus, the combat mechanics are pretty bland and simplistic in all the wrong ways. Another game I am so glad exists, but it's not for me.

The Last of Us is mechanically sophisticated, deep and tactical.. which shows in its superb and extremely diverse multiplayer. Its strengths just weren't remotely exploited or expressed to their full potential in campaign mode.

"Mechanically simplistic" could not be further from the truth! I'm genuinely perplexed as to why people often say that about such a skill intensive, rewarding, and all around well built TPS system. I just hope Naughty Dog executes it better in TloU2's campaign coz I feel not many gamers bothered to explore its excellent multiplayer... barring the micro-transactions.

OT:

The Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and GTAIV.

No. Just, no. 

The most complicated tactic in that game is 'throw a glass bottle to distract the clicker'
