Joel's character didn't really deserve this. No i don't mean that him dying was stupid(which it kinda was) but the way he died was just disrespectful. One of the most intelligent, logical and careful person just tells his famous name to strangers who could have been his enemies. Joel wouldn't do that. Furthermore Abby was saved by him and Tommy. They saved her fricking life and Abby just shoots him in the leg without hesitation and tortures him to death which makes the new character look like a robot and just unlikable. You cant be expecting me to play with the character i hate the most.
The gameplay was just average. Not bad not great for this age but i cant say anything bad about it either so gameplay is a pass for me.
So the biggest problem is the story and how pushed it is
