The game was spoiled for me and I went into it thinking it was trash. As the story unfolds you start to realize that Joel and Ellie aren’t the only ones with a story and it started to change my perspective of it. While playing as Abby (even though I hated her) I realized she was honestly likable and so were many of her friends. In the end it was just sad that those two had to cross each other’s path. I believe this game received a lot of hate because they killed off a lovable main character and introduced the side of the antagonist and people weren’t ready for that.
