I've heard that Last of Us is a good game. I believe that is probably true. However, I - to this day - do not know what style of game it is. Turn-based RPG? ARPG? Action? Adventure? Puzzle? Platformer? Rogue-like? Strategy/tactics? Survival/resource management? Like, I know there's zombies or some shit, and I know there's a compelling story. But I have no idea why I'm supposed to like playing it. So I've never bothered.
Its violence porn. An interactive movie, move cutscene than game.
It’s the “watch a movie and occasionally press x” genre
And not a good movie-that's-a-game like Metal Gear.
Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of my favorite movies.
3rd-person shooter with very heavy stealth elements that likes melee quiet takedowns, but that as an option every so often you can go full rambo, but it is discouraged. That loves long cinematics that don't go anywhere. So very much like Metal Gear Solid, just with a setting that's post-apoc zombies instead of semi-cyberpunk-modern.
Has a bare-bones crafting system and exploration system, but it is very bare-bones, likely an afterthought by one of the devs.
Decent enough game (the first one), but it is so pretentious at times that it is best played with a friend and riffed on while playing.
third person action
I'm exactly the same with Mass Effect.
When it first came out, the only thing people talked about was the romance options.
I don't give a shit about "romance options" in a game, so I never looked into it any further.
