I thought the game was amazing, and I loved the ending. I personally think that Ellie knew Joel was lying to her. When Ellie asks Joel to swear to her, I don't think that she was trying to reaffirm the truth; I think she was trying to give Joel a chance to come clean.
The ending was bittersweet in that it was great that Joel and Ellie survived, but at the same time, you get the feeling that their relationship might be ruined. Joel seems like a broken man, attached to Ellie as the new reason for him to keep existing in the world, and perfectly fine not caring about the rest of humanity. Ellie, on the other hand, seems to want something more than just surviving, particularly because she doesn't want her past friends' and allies' deaths to be for nothing.
Some people didn't like how the credits rolled as soon as she says, "OK...," but I thought it was great, because it leaves it open to interpretation on what Ellie is going to do next.
