It's actually kind of a compliment, as it's the only zombie game I was able to finish or even wanted to. I generally detest the zombie genre, but it's super popular these days, so it's everywhere and I just have to deal with it. The game had me hooked in the beginning, though it had some weird pacing here and there. There were several times when I wished it was somewhat shorter. I did like various parts of the game, but after I stepped back and looked at it again, it's really just an amalgam of various other plots from books and movies. Though, isn't that what anything is really? We are running seriously short on new concepts and new conflicts for characters in games and fiction. So the best we can really do is remix existing material, which has been going on since Ancient Greece and before. In the end, the last chapter of the game felt like watching a train wreck in slow motion and Joel was too blind to see it coming. That and the completely outlandish science bothered me, yes Cordyceps is a thing and yes is makes ant "zombies" but nothing even slightly resembling what's in the game. It really felt like a cheap attempt at explaining the zombie outbreak and ended up being little more than a plot device, rather than some kind of real science. And that's what I meant by tolerable zombie game. I know, I've got issues.
