(Spoilers)
A lot of the negative reviews I’m seeing seem like they missed the point of the game. Yes, they killed off Joel almost immediately. Joel was also a monster. Why should he get special consideration? It’s the apocalypse and he murdered a lot of people. Of course people were gunning for him. Ellie’s character development was also well done. Abby is a character a lot of people don’t seem to understand even though she isn’t that complex. She’s a more forgiving Ellie. Great game, all bad reviews I’ve seen are not based on much.
