The story is sad very disturbing at times but to rate it badly because of something in the story would not be fair. The thrill and excitement was worth the money. The open world is great. The ending (spoiler free) leaves room for another story to build, two even. The game was enticing and emotional. I will say the only problem I had with the game was I felt I played as Abby way more than Ellie so that kind of sucked. I did enjoy seeing the other side of the storyline, made the game have more meaning. Again I felt it was worth the money, great game naughty dog... now make a third one!
