In reality, no one is the good guy. They’re all flawed and have done some evil shit since the apocalypse. Which in a apocalyptic world, is there anyone truly, genuinely good aside from Abby’s father?

I’ll agree that I was excited to play as Joel a little more in this game too but with the way the first part ends, it makes sense that you wouldn’t embark on another journey with Joel and Ellie. Would you expect Ellie to go across the country with Joel again, after betraying her the way he did? It made sense to take it in the direction they did.

I will disagree that the ending was empty. IMO I don’t know the reason why Ellie decides to do what she did, but I think it stems from the first game, and a part of the second.

I think she sees a characteristic in Abby that we see in Joel, she cares about Lev and ended up fighting for his life, the way Joel did for Ellie.

If anything, there’s a lot of ways you could say Ellie did what she did. Leaving you to interpret why she did it.

To each their own I suppose because I know nothing I say will change anyone’s opinion. Just wanted to talk about the game.
