TLOU is most fun when you play combat psychotically hyper-aggressive, but that does clash a bit with the narrative. Joel going out of his way to set six people on fire affects the mood a bit.

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.
What do you have against mind flayers?
Is it all the mind flaying? It's the mind flaying, isn't it.
I don't think they were intending to surprise you with the perspective switch. Simon clearly doesn't get it, but they're trying to make it very clear just how horrifying what is happening to him is.
But yeah, I like the game and I have to say it's a much less miserable experience when you turn off the monster aggro. It's existential horror and it's a bit hit or miss at times, but I feel like when it does hit it hits hard.
Bioshock Infinite is one of the worst games I've ever played in comparison to how well it was received. The gameplay was shit. The enemies are all bullet sponges. The plot is about how Ken Levine doesn't understand the sci-fi concept of parallel universes at all and when slaves violently rebel they are as bad as the people who enslaved them. You can upgrade your weapons but you will use whichever one happens to be nearby since ammo is so scarce except when Elizabeth magically manifests some to throw to you. Songbird is a creature that screams WE WILL HAVE A BIG BOSS FIGHT and it never comes. It's awful.
Literally the Dark Brotherhood from Oblivion but in space

Everything I'm hearing about this game is exactly what I expected from it. Bland, soulless, empty, buggy as hell, terrible writing, etc.
I can't even enjoy being smug anymore, though. I don't like being smug now. It feels bad.
I hope they're debilitating and painful and take something away from him he can never get back every time, and his departure from the world is characterized by agony and involuntary erosion of his ego

Are you some sort of identity thief who is living my life
Are you coming to steal my skin
I think you're pretty nice and are probably trying your best
I think that's just watching lore videos on YouTube
