The short version: he's an avant garde game designer and writer who usually breaks genre conventions by having stuff like sad/depressing endings, playable characters that are intentionally sociopaths, having to play through a game multiple times to understand the story from every perspective, etc.
He also loves acting like a weirdo in videos and in interviews, which is usually pretty funny and endearing.
Thats a great deal western video games. And I'm not talking about how Nathan Drake is secretly a mass murderer. I'm talking about stuff like GTA, Hitman, God of War, etc.
