Interestingly, The Last Of Us was one that never hooked me. Tried it on two occasions and it just felt weird to me. Ended up watching someone else play it on Twitch/YouTube. I can get why the story is so good, but the gameplay just didn’t suit me.

I got reasonably far in Horizon and then couldn’t do it when I realized it was just Far Cry with robot dinosaurs.

I absolutely love that game and the sound effects coming off the controller tickle me pink. But honestly, it’s just not a good enough game to justify the time commitment with what little time I actually have.

What killed HZD for me was the god-awful writing. Every character is a cardboard cut-out and the plot was painfully predictable. Add the shallow gameplay on top of that and I regret every one of those ten dollars I spent on it.

I loved the first last of us, haven’t played the second yet. But I agree with you on horizon zero dawn. Couldn’t get into it no matter how much I tried.
