Three months after burying Henry and Sam, Joel and Ellie ignore an elderly couple's advice and cross the so-called 'River of Death'.
Survivors appear on horseback and escort them to the heavily populated gated community of Jackson (modelled on Part II).
Hmmm.
Tommy's wife Maria (Rutina Wesley) is revealed to be pregnant and brothers reunite.
Ellie and Joel leave at dawn and arrive in Colorado, discovering that Fireflies have already vacated the university campus.
Seeing a group of raiders outside, they attempt to flee. Joel kills a bloke, but is stabbed in the process.
Following their escape, Joel collapses from the horse.
Monkey business
Joel having panic attacks was an interesting addition and for shits and gigs, film playing at the cinema is The Goodbye Girl.
I know they race swapped Sarah, but repeating tactic for Maria is just bizarre.
Ellie's brashness annoyed me and although we spend a vast amount of time in Jackson, there's no action.
Ending was extremely rushed.
In the game, Joel falls off a high platform and impaled on a rebar.
As they negotiate danger, we hear this memorable exchange.
Ellie: Well can you walk?
Joel: Yes.
Ellie: Then fucking walk.
Definitely a missed opportunity.
