I'm trying The Last of Us again. I didn't like it the first time, but it gets such praise, I felt like I owed it a second chance.
I'm enjoying it more this time. I am throwing myself into it, rather than holding back. I think that makes a difference. The first time, I was put off by several things, such as the emphasis on stealth, the ugly environments, and the "zombies." This time, I've accepted that that is the game I'm playing, and I'm going with it. I think I'm in a different state of mind this time, too. The last time, I played right after I got out of the hospital, and I wasn't in the mood for a grim tale of survival (having just played one of my own). I'm feeling better now, and so I can get into it more.
