Abby works great as a video game character .

Within those core elements , there ’s a lot of room for rendition . Ellie could go even darkerbefore she realizes she ’s gone too far — or , or else , she could come to that realisation earlier than she does in the secret plan .

Rather than just ripping everything directly from the game , The Last of Usseason 2 could reimagine its origin material .
