I'm apparently the oddity that really didn't like the first Last of Us and I played it prior to really being attentive to politics in games. It was just mediocre at multiple types of gameplay with a narrative on top. That wasn't really something new.
As someone who played through the Uncharted series multiple times before trying TLOU, I'm fully willing to admit my apathy towards it was most likely from being burnt out on the ND gameplay loop at that point. Additionally, the "zombies, but not zombies" angle didn't really intrigue me. By the time the second rolled around, and more information was released about it, I'd pretty much thrown in the towel.
