(I separated my opinion into part, part one was no spoilers and part 2 does sorry) This is one of the games that is so underrated:( I believe you have a different experience from playing rather watching walkthroughs. Cause playing as those characters, in those heartbreaking moments, it does have an impact on your perception. Even though there’s certain characters you would rather not play as but makes you not necessarily empathize with that character but rather the situation she in and the people around.I really do enjoy playing this game I know people didn’t like the fact that you play as one specific character but it those help see other characters around her and Ellie perception .You see two side of the coin both which is neither good or bad. It a interesting concept. And it’s a game that requires you really to look further into the point of the ending to eventually understand. Some people like games with clear answers, ending, And it’s alright if you do but you might not think it had great ending in that point. Also they wouldn’t give the effort to develop a character if they didn’t had the intention of re-using that specific character or Ellie for future projects.But I think it’s genius ending for a dlc or potentially new game after this game. Personally, i love how they represent characters in this game but i think that’s why so many people review it so low because unfortunately we still live an era were people still don’t necessarily like female representation as main character, Lgbtq+ and many other factors like some characters physique because it not the traditional style in gaming.The creator was trying to break the traditional way and it’s amazing but unfortunately people don’t really like different. Also I should mention the mechanic of this game. It’s was so cool and amazing you get to play the guitar, growl on the floor and simply cause it was easy to manage for a ps4 imagine in ps5. Overall easier to play than the first game. And less scary too but was so many jump scares a the beginning. The concept Art is exceptional, beautiful. There are very amazing views and at one part you get to experience fear from failing hahaha. (my opinion but with some spoilers Part 2) However I would put Abby story first then lead up to Joel death to make more interesting and shocking. A few changes in the narrative placement but other than that it’s amazing. Many seem to over look the ending but it actually very well written. Because it come back to seeing to parallel between characters. A revenge story that ends up losing themselves on the way and another that finds justice. It shows that not everyone manage to feel relief and at peace once obtain revenge. Plus on the first sneak peak at the game Ellie was sing a song. In my opinion, in those lyrics, she mentions that “ I can’t walk on the path of the right because I’m wrong” which means how can she feel satisfied or live on with her life knowing what she will do isn’t gonna make her be better ,knowing her killing Abby wasn’t gonna removed the pain and trauma. And of course it not the same story as the first game because it a different protagonist, with different values,interests and personality. Which make total sense why she didn’t kill Abby. Joel would kill her with no hesitation. Ellie has and always had different opinions, value and morals than Joel.
