finally played this after 4 years and i was honestly expecting the story to be worse? in the end i ended up actually liking abby's character honestly (also liked abby's story because theres seals and i love them). there are some things that could've been changed, pacing and also maybe we should've played as abby first and then ellie? other than that of course the story is nothing groundbreaking but people really blew it out of proportion i feel. the gameplay is the best part, super satisfying. i think the negative reaction to this game had a lot to do with the leaks that came out before which got people riled up. and if you think ellie forgave abby youre an idiot. its a good game.
