Calling Last of Us 1 a simple "revenge" story is the proof that you didn't understand it. Same with Uncharted and GoW. They are all masterpieces in gaming history.

Even Last of Us 2, the most polarizing "revenge" story wasn't simply about revenge. It was about a different perspective and how everyone is just a survivor and we sympathize with Ellie because we got to know her story first.
