So what EXACTLY did The Last of Us bring to the zombie genre?

A more mature, realistic, and serious approach on the genre

Zombies that are actually scary and would fuck you up

First third person zombie game to do fast zombies well, way better than re 6.

Very good voiceacting and story while cliche, was well written.

Gunplay feels quite good and heavy.

joel was logan before logan

Multiplayer was god tier

It was praised for the story. That's it. Take away the story and you've got shooting galleries and paint-by-numbers stealth. It's a shit game with a good story.

>Spend entire game throwing bricks at retards and choking anybody close enough where a brick didn't matter
>Have an excess of bullets used explicitly on Clickers and Bloaters

No it didn't.

>engaging story line, lots of moments that try tot evoke strong emotional triggers with the player
>GOAT tier soundtrack, mo-cap, voice-acting and visuals
>amazing ending scene that made people discuss the game
>best graphics at the time
>some very tense moment (flooded basement, winter chapter with David and bloater) that shook normies to their core
>multiplayer that was better than the single player
>many instaclassic scenes that resonate till this very day.
