Hmmmm.... not sure how to feel about that. Her physical strength did seem to be a part of her character in the game.

2025-03-31 16:23:59 +0000 UTCYe this is what I consider the reason to why people really don't like this game. I think the first half of the game should have been Abby's story without the reveal of her dad being the surgeon and then place Ellie's gameplay. But the fact she's killed beloved character Joel and then the next time we see her she straight up shoots Jesse in the head before you start her gameplay

The reason cited as being that there's not as much action momoment to moment, and that there is no need to differentiate her fighting style from Ellie's since there's no gameplay.

2025-03-30 21:10:38 +0000 UTCAs feltskate says, the game's hard pivot to playing as Abby for the second half is what I consider to be the second biggest reason people loathe this game. While it wasn't spoiled for me through the leaks like Joel's death was, it was such a big point of contention that discussion about it managed to make it's way into my circles nonetheless. Since I had already been spoiled on such things before playing TLOU 1 or 2, I never had much of an emotional investment in any of the characters or story, and therefore I'm indifferent about Abby. Not to the point where I was completely checked out obviously, but I didn't have much of a reaction to when characters died.

2025-03-30 21:06:13 +0000 UTCI also don't see alot of people talk about how Abby's Seattle day 1 starts with her seeming to be having a nightmare about killing Joel as thats what the audience see before showing her in bed looking like she's restless in her sleep and then jolting awake from Manny, as if killing him hasn't helped her. I think it's a good example of visual storytelling.

2025-03-30 17:43:13 +0000 UTCIt was also leaked before the game released that you would have to play as Abby, which with the joel leak and having to play as the one that did it, it just made people even angrier. It was definitely a risky choice to add this into the game, however it is to give Abby's side and really to show that there aren't any "good guys" as Ellie is doing the same thing Abby did wanting revenge. I understand wanting to justify Ellie as we've been with her since the first game, but I try to look at it from the perspective that if the first game you played as Abby and her father then in the end he's killed by Joel, the players would what Joel dead just like they want Abby dead now.
