    Left Behind makes The Last of Us more relevant and an even better experience than the one we'd have playing only the original campaign.

    Left Behind is how story DLC should be done.

    Two and a half hours Left Behind has you laughing, get scared, angry and possibly even cry. The story is touching and the ruthless world of The Last of Us comes through even better than in the original game, due to little nuances in the gameplay. Left Behind is the highest quality of DLC.

    Left Behind offers the same emotion and intensity as The Last of Us, focusing on Ellie's relationship with Riley. Even so, the unbalanced relation between length and price may induce some players not to buy it.

    The Last of Us is one of the best games in recent years, and Left Behind keeps all of its virtues fresh. Riley is a great character and Ellie will be recorded in your heart. The only problem is that it is expensive for this duration of less than three hours.

    A bonus to the ingenious game is atmospheric, and although it brings nothing original, a return of the likeable heroes along with great gameplay is perfectly fine, even though it lasts for a couple of hours.

    The Last of Us: Left Behind is an extension that continues in the same vein as the original. The combat system is tight and the production is impressive. The adventure is however plagued of much padding, and a story that is more ambitious than actually good. The weaker section of the two in the series but worth a look if you feel you did not get enough last time.

Some great combat sections and a few genuinely touching moments. Its short, but remember, its quality over quantity. Some people obviously don't know the meaning. And to the idiot's questioning why the last of us got 10's and was so highly rated, it received these rating's because it deserved to. These same people most probably haven't even played the full game, let alone this DLC.… Expand

In this game you control Ellie and goLeft Behind is a DLC that you should play after completing The Last of Us in order to avoid spoilers. In this game you control Ellie and go through a short event from the first game that was not actually shown. While playing, you will go through a few flashback memories of Ellie that will reveal a bit more about her past and her time before the events of the first game.

    The gameplay mechanic is completely the same as in The Last of Us: you will encounter infected and armed people that you will either fight or seek for a way to avoid them. The only difference is that you control Ellie, who is much smaller and weaker than Joel.

    The game is short, it is just a small additional part to the main game. I took me around two hours to complete it. You might even be able to stretch it to three if you really want to explore every corner of it.    … Expand

We get a look back at Ellie's past, as well as what she was doing during the time Joel was injured. It's fantastic, emotional, and features that fantastic and believable writing I've come to expect from Naughty Dog. There are also some tense combat sections as well plenty of new collectibles to find.

    The DLC is a little short. and the only reason to really replay it is to collect everything, but this is still worth the purchase for any "The Last of Us" fan. More of this game's fantastic world, story, and gameplay is always welcome in my book. Hopefully we'll see more story based DLC for this game in the future.    … Expand
