The story was pretty good, especially when I got over my own feelings of anger and sadness and tried to okay with an open mind. That being said, this game is not happy like the first. There are moments heavy enough I needed to pause the game and walk away, with happy moments few and far between. I do think they could have gone a different route with Ellie and Joel’s relationship and wasn’t personally pleased with how it ended up. However, I do see where they were coming from and the message they were trying to portray in this story.
