Well, I think vengeance is probably a difficult thing for people to sympathize with in general. Seemingly everyone, even us, give up on it long before Ellie does. Personally, I did believe that she wanted to keep going even if I didn't.
The difficult thing with Abby is that she's built up like a monster, so when you switch perspectives, it almost feels like a cheap trick at first. Her being butch and woke or whatever didn't help, but it is a tough transition, to be sure. The thing I liked about it, though, when they finally face off: I didn't know who I wanted to win. I liked Ellie a lot more, but I also thought she was a worse person. To me, the game made the case for why Abby should live, and I kind of agreed.
