Idk what it is but I was emotional for days after finishing it
Same! I played it as it was being released in 2015 (I think?) and I still find myself thinking about it every now and then. Such an experience.
I played Before the Storm and True Colours but they just couldn’t compare to the first game so I’m not a big fan of them either.
Ah bummer. I’m sorry to hear TLoU didn’t work for you.
It’s a great game with some really emotional moments. I enjoyed it a lot and it’s a lot of people’s favourite game in the series (mine is VI which you’ve already played).
It’s really hard to describe without spoiling anything. I mentioned in another comment that the first chapter is free on Steam so if you wanted to try it without a monetary risk then that’s always an option.
