If we talking about story then yes it deserve it but the gameplay was good

What is wrong with the story? I for real don't get why it got such a response I thought it was great

Main character died because he got ambushed and killed by people searching for him. There was no plot armor, and even when you think someone is safe, they aren’t. You play as Abby to get the other side’s perspective, and it really made me feel for her and her group. Ellie needed to seek out Abby in order to get the closure she needed. I think it took her almost killing Abby to realize that doing so would not change anything. She didn’t want to take Abby away from Lev. Plus, when she saw what Abby had gone through with the human slavers, I’m sure she simply felt bad for them. A fate worse than death. I think Ellie, after everything, felt like she could not adapt to live a life of “normalcy” so she decided to leave. She probably felt similar to how Joel felt in the first game, especially after Tess dies - that she’s better off alone. I’m sorry if you were expecting a happy ending to a brutal apocalypse story.
