    One of the things I like the most abot the TLOU series: It triggers Gamer Gate trolls :) You know? White Gen X dudes who have 'Leon' phantasies about Joel and Ellie. And I'm so thankful that Naughty Dog just keeps on messing with them. Left Behind is a masterpiece. End of the story.

    This is good DLC for best game ever. Adds some of Ellie's back story that was alluded to in the full game.

    No tiene nada que envidiar a la historia principal. Es cautivador, conmovedor y triste. ND sabe como desarrollar una historia de amistad, de amor y de lo que significa dejar algo atrás. Una narrativa brillante, una BSO infravalorada y grandes personajes como Ellie y Riley, hacen que este DLC sea innolvidable.

    A great short story of Ellie. The storytelling is again the highlight here, the new character Riley is a great addition to Ellies backstory. Would recommend to anyone who is a fan of the The Last of Us

    Great DLC that fills some gaps in the game and adds a little background to Ellies character.

    Left 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.

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

    Очень хочу пройти, но пока не купил PS4. Прошел 1 часть и она мне понравилась. Уж слишком она атмосферная и грустная.

    Ein DLC, der es in sich hat. Im Gegensatz zum Hauptspiel ist Ellie die Protagonistin der recht kurzen, aber intensiven Erweiterung zu The Last of Us. Spielerisch erleben wir in Left Behind generell nichts wirklich neues, auch im Hauptspiel hatten wir Elle streckenweise schon spielen können. Es ist vor allem die Dramaturgie, die Naughty Dog hier exzellent gelungen ist. Wir erleben alsEin DLC, der es in sich hat.

Spielerisch erleben wir in Left Behind generell nichts wirklich neues, auch im Hauptspiel hatten wir Elle streckenweise schon spielen können. Es ist vor allem die Dramaturgie, die Naughty Dog hier exzellent gelungen ist. Wir erleben als Spieler nämlich zwei Episoden von Ellie parallel, zwischen denen das Spiel geschickt hin und her switcht. Beide Erzählungen ergänzen sich so inhaltlich und geben uns einen tieferen Einblick in die Beweggründe des Charakters Ellie. Warum ist es Ellie so wichtig, bei den Fireflies anzukommen? Warum ist sie so bereitwillig Marlene und später Joel gefolgt? Ihre Motive hierfür, die im Hauptspiel nur angedeutet wurden, erzählt uns nun der DLC in verdichteter Form.… Expand

    Gran DLC que explora la vida de Ellie, ahondando en su jugabilidad y descubriendo un pedazo de la historia que no pudimos ver con claridad en el juego original.

    Emotionally moving, adds some informations about plot holes the from the initial game but not that important, too short for its price, but I personally loved to see and feel how Ellie truly is when she is herself without Joel or all the events of The initial game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This DLC was so fun to play! Though not as action packed as the The Last of Us, that was no problem for me! I loved witnessing further character and world development as well as receiving background information on a crumbling society in the wake of a raging apocalypse. The reveal of Ellie and Riley’s young and innocent romance was awesome! It definitely inspired me into coming to terms and discovering my bisexuality later in life! Thinking back to when I played this game 5 years ago, I will always remember how inspired I felt seeing a resilient, tough, and witty young female character such as Ellie who usually in videogames tend to get underestimated. The fact that I’ve never forgotten that feeling or about TLOU and its DLC says a lot about just how amazing this game really is.… Expand

    Great DLC. It is a short one but it is a more personal aproach to Ellie characters. I think it has less story telling quality than the last of us original game, but it is a great DLC

    A nice addition to the Last of Us story. My only gripe with this dlc is that it's too short! With a less than 3 hour completion time, it leaves you wanting more.

    There’s a scene in Left Behind proving that Naughty Dog not only has ambition to elevate games to the rank of art form, but simply does it. [05/2014, p.64]

    It's short - perhaps a little too short for the price - but Left Behind exhibits the same exceptional quality that made The Last of Us one of PS3's finest. [Issue#242, p.56]
