&gt; that prologue!<p>As someone who had just become a father less than a year before TLoU came out the prologue was literally the most emotional moment I had as a result of playing a video game in my life. I&#x27;ve had others, the end of HL2: Episode 2 struck a pretty big chord for me as well in particular, but I think it will take a long time for another game to come out that can make me <i>feel</i> something like that again.<p>Overall I&#x27;d agree with your assessment (and really, it applies to ever modern Naughty Dog title) - the gameplay is above-average but serves more as a vehicle to drive the story, but unlike many other &quot;cinematic&quot; games it doesn&#x27;t detract from it and make the whole of the work feel half-baked.
