I think the ending to TLOU is just perfect in keeping with the style of the game. It's a morally ambiguous ending to a game that stresses the fact that people are flawed and will do anything to survive. There's no right or wrong. No good or evil in Joel and Ellie's world, just many shades of grey.
You can interpret it as Joel being a selfish douche who has doomed humanity to extinction for a second chance to love a daughter again or just as easily see it as one man standing up for what's right in a shitty world. Not willing to sacrifice one innocent life to save millions.
The best part is that you can just as easily end the whole thing there on one word... "OK"... or continue on with their story.
