It'd be difficult for me to talk about TLOU2's gameplay and not bring up MGS, because I believe it draws heavily from both MGS3 and RE4, more so than the original TLOU did. It doesn't lean in favor of either, and strikes a great balance between the two design philosophies, imo. When some people argue that TLOU2 doesn't offer revolutionary gameplay or does nothing new in this regard, they're right when viewing each mechanic in isolation. But when viewed as a whole, this evolution and merger of existing concepts comes together to deliver a unique experience.
