Spoiler alert! This game has received a lot of negative reviews. I can understand why Some people might feel tricked or misled. With Joel's death happening so early and assuming he was gonna play a big part in the sequel. Also assuming that this would all be Ellie's story. I was surprised myself about how much Abbey was involved in this game. To where she almost seemed like the main character. But I feel they did it this way for you to question how you feel about her. Even knowing she's the main villain showing you a different side of her. Maybe while playing you might feel conflicted. I love this series and I wish there wasn't so much negativity around it. But not everyone is going to love this game. I waited a long time for this sequel and can honestly say I was happy with this game. If this is the end I can live with that. But all I ask is that if you liked the 1st game please just give this one a real chance before you make a review.
