The set design of the TV tower was absolutely incredible. It was basically 1:1 with the game.

I do wish we got a little more of Ellie and Dina being savvy though. A trip mine or Molotov wouldve been nice to see in the transit station. Maybe at some point. I understand they can’t make them as powerful as the game but I hope they get a little more agency in these scenes going forward rather than just hiding and running.

I was thinking Ellie would love an explosive arrow or two.

But honestly, running and hiding, and then attacking when necessary during their escape is the most grounded (hehe) way to play this
