I think the game was originally intended for you to have more alternation between Ellie and Abby (which you can kind of see since there's like tutorial sections at the start of Abby's play through) but overall I really liked it.

I would've liked it to be more obviously episodic like the first game. One of the best parts of the first game was there were really clear points every hour or two of gameplay that had really obvious stopping points in a "What's gonna happen next? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK" kind of thing that's really rare in games. TLOU2 didn't have this and I think its the worse for it. I think the story for TLOU2 is worse, but that's pretty much because its trying a much more significant story, and its harder to nail a more complex story like that.

I also disagree with you liking the open areas more. I thought they were kind of poorly placed. Like Ellie is on a Rambo-esque murder spree, why do I have to stop right before I get there to explore this nearby town? I liked the game being more streamlined.

Still, was a big fan of both games. If TLOU was a 10/10, TLOU2 is like a 9/10. Still definitely worth the play.
