I love TLOU 1.

I am curious what part made you cry? Parts made me anxious and parts made me very relieved. None made me cry.

As a middle aged guy with a young daughter at the time, I cried at the opening and had to take a break before actually playing the game.
This is the correct answer and what I was going to say. First played as an engaged young man. While an amazing story, didn’t hit until I had my daughter and replayed 10 years later. The impact of his decisions and my struggle with how I would’ve handled it, wrecked me. Neil is a genius and I think an incredible story teller.
