It’s a game that sums up the aspect of how a teenager can feel strangulated with pain and the idea of blind revenge and coming to terms with loss
We have to understand how Ellie is still a teenager guided by feelings and emotions she can’t understand because she’s still 19
That is not a justification but something that allows us to delve better into her Psyche
It’s a painful and a very horrifyingly beautiful “character piece” It’s a story not with just a bigger picture but with more of an understanding at a personal level
One should stop for a little looking at how the world is around Ellie but see how Ellie views the world and reacts to it as a hormonal teenager who’s seen things beyond her age
In simply put words : Beautiful , Engaging an excellent character piece
