It’s such a great game. I’m writing this because the show just came out and is wonderful so far. People seemed divided on whether or not to like this game and I completely understand that. With the first game revolving around Joel, it was a shock to discover that he gets murdered. However, I don’t think it was the wrong choice for the game. In the first game, Joel was not a good guy. He was selfish and did whatever was in his best interest. People loved that about him but I highly doubt that in his situation people would do the same, by saving Ellie, and ultimately ridding the world of any hope of a cure. He did irreversible damage in saving her but it’s understandable as to why he chose to do so. In the second game, Ellie is very similar. Chasing down Abby in search of revenge. But in the end, Ellie chooses not to kill her, instead letting her leave. That choice shows so much character development. I understand why people disliked the game with Joel’s death, and playing as the character who killed him. But I think it was the right choice.
