What they did to Joel was criminal
They made us play as Abby for far too much of the game, but made out in the marketing that this is the continuation of joel and ellies story. Oh I'm sorry, how does killing off joel in the most disrespectful and senseless way, and then making you play as abby for half the game justify marketing this as joel and ellies story. Also, how is Abby that buff in a post apocalyptic world when there is no access to the perfect bodybuilding diet and gym equipment, and honestly with the size of her, steroids and test, no way. Then you've got the shoehorned in sjw agenda and politics. And to finish it off, worst ending in history of videogames. You've got a legacy character ellie, left with no payoff, no revenge, lost joel, lost Dina, lost friends and her community plus the ability to play the guitar that joel gave her and taught her to play, because abby bites her fingers off. And you let her go? Really? Really naughty dog. You get one star for the simple fact it's a gorgous looking game, but story wise and what you've done with it and the characters, everything that made the first game awesome, they've ruined and you're not getting the other 4 stars for that. Absolute trash
