Many of the elements in the game are done better elsewhere, but there are so many above-average and good elements that the whole is far better than each individual part. My only gripe is the slowness of combat until you start getting the screen-clearing moves (generally Aika's stuff).

No matter how hipster it is to shit on “AAA games” many of them are still technical marvels that bring together the best and brightest artists, writers, and designers in the industry. The best ones push the needle forward for all of these elements of game creation. Most people’s favorite classic/retrogames were the AAA titles of their time.
Yes, AAA devs sometimes offer safe cash-grab titles...but TLOU was anything but that. An opinion that it is “typical AAA ‘cinematic’ crap” with “mediocre gameplay and poor AI” is not really one that can be substantiated in any reasonable way.
