Here on Era (and on GAF back in the old days), The Last of Us is held up as a game of a generation. I still see people singing it's praises from time to time and the sequel astronomically high expectations around it. And I really like TLOU too; the combat is tense, the graphics were stunning for their time, and the story is one of the best that the video game medium has given us thus far.
That being said, there's one rough aspect of the game that time seems to have smoothed over- the puzzles. The puzzles are rote and boring. They often consist of carrying ladders and pushing pallets. Hardly adding to the fantasy of surviving a zombie apocalypse and forming a relationship with your surrogate daughter. Do you agree the puzzles are shitty? Do you care? Do they affect your overall perception of the game to any degree?
