I think that TLOU is a bit overrated too. It really is a good game with incredible production value but it's not perfect. They could've had a lot more interaction between Joel and Ellie and I thought they would propperly flesh out Joel's conflict of being reminded of his dead daughter by Ellie and trying to get rid of his past in order to save her. It does happen but they could've made more out of it in the story. I don't know what made me think like that but I just expected more from the characters and ultimately I found them a little flat in the end.
But now we should better get back on track with this topic before things have to be moved.
