![]() ![]() Running like a bull through a china shop is certainly not a viable option unless you want to rage quit. There are more strategic avenues the players can take when dealing with threats, which is definitely recommended considering Ellie’s handicaps. ![]() She moves a little slower, takes greater damage with a larger recovery time, and feels clumsier than Joel. The action sequences are interesting, as Ellie’s gameplay and controls feel limited, making perfect sense considering she’s only a young teenager. ![]() We get to witness how Ellie managed to save Joel during the lost time between the university and the winter chapter of The Last of Us story line. Ever since the DLC was announced, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for its release and, on Valentine’s Day, I got myself the most romantic gift of all: Left Behind. I opened up a bottle of wine and steeled myself for the inevitable feels that would surely turn me into the most pathetic sap you’ve ever seen. You're the best of the bunch.It’s no secret that The Last of Usis by far my one of my favorite games of all time and arguably should have won Game of the Year at the VGX’s. It was an incredibly satisfying short addition to my favorite game of 2013. Everything else about this DLC exceeded my expectations. Also I did have a couple minor problems with the gameplay, such as the huge difficulty spike at the end, and Ellie automatically standing up after stealth killing an enemy from a crouched stance, causing you to make noise by accident. A 3-hour long DLC inside a 12-hour long main game is fine. That's $5 per hour, if you don't plan on replaying it on a higher difficulty or finding all the collectibles. It also felt a little too short for a $15 asking price. However, I thought the ending felt just a little rushed and inconclusive. There are 2 different stories that play back-to-back here, and it fills in some of the gaps that seemed to have been unexplained in the main game. Naughty Dog put in great effort into making their very first single player DLC. This DLC clocks in at around 3 hours long, and not one minute of it drags behind. Intense, emotional, compelling, captivating, and well put together. This The Last of Us: Left Behind is what you'd expect from Naughty Dog. The Last of Us: Left Behind is what you'd expect from Naughty Dog. If you enjoyed The Last of Us at all, I'm sure you'll love this too. I HIGHLY recommend anyone reading this to just play it if you haven't already, it only takes a couple hours. ![]() But way too many are actual homophobia, and *those* can definitely be ignored. I do kind of get where some of these negative reviews from 2014 were coming from, given the price at the time. Seeing her connection with Riley so closely makes it so much more heartbreaking for her character and everything she's been through. Very happy there were no compromises on the graphics or any other aspects of quality, especially storytelling. Gameplay is still fun, like the original, but I'm glad it took more of a backseat in this side chapter. I personally think it definitely adds a lot to her story and her character, to see her being able to just be a regular kid for once. Great DLC! Gave more of a focus on Ellie in an interesting way since all we saw of her in the main game was from Joel's perspective, apart Great DLC!
