I wouldn&#x27;t begrudge anyone holding this opinion - I would struggle to point to any gameplay element as a true breakthrough - but the polish, quality of storytelling (that prologue!), and  first rate acting&#x2F;animation really set it apart for me.  Like everything Naughty Dog, I would rate it as a lot closer to a &quot;Steven Speilberg&quot; level of cinematic&#x2F;dramatic presentation, whereas most AAA games I can think of (Fallout 4, Starcraft II and GTA:V come to mind) are closer to schlocky B-movies IMO.  Ultimately, that&#x27;s not a gameplay feature, but I think it provides a compelling sense of motivation that makes playing their games uniquely immersive.
