I couldn’t disagree about genericness more. Also, the zombies have never been the central source of conflict for TLoU; they are just a plot device used as backdrop to flush out interpersonal and fundamentally human conflicts.
Eh, I feel like that's actually what makes it generic. The "survivors are the real monsters" trope is kinda played-out, IMO.
