Personally i prefer out of 10 ratings and id say its 6-7/10. I originally thought differently but after reflection of the whole game I felt a 6-7 was fair
the game has flaws, many people are upset about plot devices, while at first they are a hard pill to swallow as the game develops especially into the second half the game truly grows into its own. The animations, the sounds and the ai are very good for the most part. I write this review because i think the threats and negative review bombing on this very good game are a shame. While i personally do wish theyd done the game a bit differently and the political agenda pushing does come through quite strong, this game should be played and i think most people will enjoy the dark, gritty and depressing reality the characters face. The last of us is not and never has been a happy story, if you are looking for that kind of thing go play mario.
