So the other big change, and we talked about this last week when it became clear that this was where it was heading, Here we see it just laid out explicitly. Abby explains to Joel and by extension, the audience, why she's killing him in great detail, in contrast to the game where we don't know.

We don't really know anything about Abby and why she's after Joel and why she is doing this when it happens. And we don't find out until midway through the game when the perspective shifts and we play through things from Abby's view. And that changes this dramatically. Is it for better? Is it for worse?

I think it's actually an interesting debate to have, but it does make this scene play out quite differently because in the game, Abby asks Joel to guess why she's doing this.

And there remains some uncertainty, even if you suspect as a player at that point, OK, this must have something to do with the hospital. Even Ellie is not sure of that. And we know that she knows what happened at the hospital. But even she says, as she sets off with Dina, that
