I can deal with a story focused game. I really can. I liked Oxenfree, Until Dawn, Soma.. I plan to play Life is Strange soon.
The problem is UC4 has a boring story --- And to ingest this slow, deliberate, boring story you have to also stomach its uninteresting/annoying characters and tedious, boring, shallow gameplay (such as climbing).
Just as problematic is that the story and gameplay of UC4 live on two different planets that have little to do with eachother. In a better game, even in ND's own TLOU, the story and gameplay work together cohesively, as a team.
All of these substantive issues are held together and propped up by the visage of beautiful artwork, solid tech, and good acting performances. This may be enough to distract, I guess, but for me it wasn't.
TLDR *fuck* UC4
