The Last of Us: Left Behind

Going into the Last of Us: Left Behind, I wasn't sure what to expect. If you read my review for the Last of Us, you'll know that I LOVED it. Anyway, this short (2-3 hours) DLC manages to bring the same level of intensity and emotion that the full game did. Furthermore, it also brought much more "lightheartedness" (is that a word?). I don't want to spoil anything because the less you know the better; just know that it brings back the excellent story telling and gameplay that the full game brought. Ellie's character really grows here in ways it never did in the full game and I felt more emotionally attached to her then ever before. If you can, try to play this in one sitting. I think you will benefit greatly from it. One last thing, I'm not sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me, but I'm 90% sure that the graphics were better than the full game, if you can even imagine that...

Also, for all of you worried that continuity will be broken because Ellie has to kill enemies, don't worry. The writers did an excellent job with this...

9.5/10

Pros:

• Great story and characters
• Some interesting additions

Cons:

• Short game

Verdict: Great insight into events we've heard but haven't seen in the Last of Us with an emotional story and great characters, thou is pretty short

8/10

A very good story content expansion to The Last of Us, story arc. Although short, but it still adds emotional punches to Ellie's journey. If you are a fan of the original title then you should definitely play this.

Just like last of us main story this is a masterpiece. The story is great!, again. I loved how they switched from flashbacks to realilty. Perfect ending and perfect story to know more about the whole story. Loved to play it. Not too long not too short it's great.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"The Last of Us: Left Behind" (2014) is an excellent DLC to masterpiece "The Last of Us". It is a prequel and it also shows once part that wasn't included in the main game.

"Left Behind" is a very involving if a bit short (because you can't get enough of "The Last of Us" universe!) story that has action, humour and some chilly parts as well. I loved playing as Ellie as well as i loved Riley Abel character - would love to see them both growing up (and probably staying up together).

Overall, if you loved the main game, you will definitely will enjoy this short story. I finished it in a couple of hours, but i'm pretty sure i will come back to it one day.
