My favourite game of all time. I really can't comprehend the sheer hatred that this game has, Ellie completely steps up as a character in this game. She takes on the role of the protagonist perfectly, cementing her as one of my all-time favourite characters. I loved playing as Abby, I personally prefer her as a character to Joel. From start to finish this was thrilling and brutal. The decision to spare Abby was bold and got a lot of hate but I think it was the perfect way for that arc to end, Ellie losing everything but sparing Abby just felt so heartbreaking and genuine, especially when you notice the parallels between Abby+Lev and Joel+Ellie. On every level this game is superior to its predecessor, utterly beautiful.
