Yep, took me two years to finally play the game, and I have to say I loved it.
Did I literally abhor how Joel was handled? Yes.
Do I believe there was too much forced “diversity”? Hell yes.
However the main message in this game is what got me.
My favorite character was Ellie, even though she gets a lot of hate. I will stay as spoiler free as possible but despite having no one as a child, very troubled life, ptsd and such, in the end Ellie was the only one who took the right decision when it mattered most.
I hope everyone has the chance to experience and view their own lives in this way, that even if everything is horrible you will always have the chance to make the right choice.
