    First off, I LOVED The Last of Us. This is just a snippet of that awesome game. Left Behind is ridiculously too short, LESS THAN 2 HOURS! I feel ripped off!!!

    The narrative of the game is easily noticeable as that's the only real new thing it has to offer. It's a ONE HOUR glimpse into Ellie's past. Remember that friend of hers she talked about, and the incident leading up to her infection? Well, this is it. You get to experience a brief moment in her life before s**t went south. So, what was Naughty Dog's answer to all the boring dialog scenes you have to sit through? Replay some moments of the original game of course! :D That's right folks, you get to enjoy playing that area of the game where Ellie is looking after Joel...again. Granted, it's not exactly the same moments from the original, but close enough that it feels like deja vu rather than deja new. While this part of the DLC may appear to be the foil to an otherwise boring task, rightfully so...that's exactly what it is. It's unoriginal, unnecessary, and it reeks of a cash grab. For all the things that Naughty Dog could have done, they chose to cut corners instead. Sadly, diehard fans and non-paying-for-this-content reviewers are not going to be the people to caution you against a purchase like this. So consider that one can purchase a theater ticket for less and squeeze more time out of the experience than this.    … Expand

    The Last Of Us: Left Behind is short but is honestly a pretty good DLC, I kind of wish they could have done more of these, to be honest. If you want to know more about Ellie's character and her backstory then here you go.

    a small adventure by the standards of the same add-on for Uncharted 4, not very many locations, but as a backstory it is very good, peculiar to the original with its details.

    This story was really amazing. The way it jumps between two different times in Ellie's life, both in a mall, was very cool. This is a MUST PLAY to anyone who finished the original game, but I don't know if it's worth the 15 dollars. That is the only reason I am taking away a star. If you can get past the price or got it for free, play this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved the Last of Us and this DLC did not disappoint, as you get to play Ellie and it also provides a interesting insight on Ellie's back-story and who she is as a character, I felt slightly jipped after having to pay 15 US dollars for it on Playstation Network. The DLC has no real impact on the story as its mainly just a flashback and I found it to be unnecessary that Naughty Dog hinted that Ellie may be gay or bi-sexual. While i am in no way shape or form a homophobe or against whatever love you show, My aunt and god-father are gay and gay people have been apart of my life since as long as I can remember. I get that alot of games are doing it now, Mass Effect 3 is one of my all-time favorites and I greatly enjoyed the LGBT characters Steve Cortez and Samantha Traynor but for Naughty Dog to follow in the footsteps of so many others and suggest Ellie may be gay or bi-sexual in my opinion was just an unnecessary side story to a otherwise awe-inspiring video game.… Expand

    The story stands well on its on but also adds to the experience of the original game. The new combat situations stand among the best of the main game and especially the moments where you fight infected and humans at the same time are fresh and give a lot more strategic possibilities.

    Против темнокожих, ни каких возражений, а вот по поводу прочего.
    Думаю студии, поставили какое то условие, типа: "Харэ делать Unchartedы с нормальными людьми-натуралами, добавьте в новую игру извращенцев, этого требуют нынешние реалии!", ну и добавили. При том не в саму игру, а в dlc. Если пройти только оригинальную игру, ты вряд ли поймёшь, что Элли лезбиянка.
    Хотя может это и решение самой Naughty Dog. И если это так, то я не понимаю, зачем? Всяких лгбтешников в мире подавляющее меньшинство, менее 0.1%! Тем паче вряд ли всякие геи и трансвеститы в игры играют, я думаю, их другие "игрушки" интересуют, которые в сексшопах продаются.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me just star this by saying, if you enjoyed The Last of Us (like everyone else), then you need to get this. It's story is excellent, its gameplay is top-notch, and, even with the PS4 on the market, it still looks gorgeous. That being said, I have a few caveats that stop me from giving it a 10/10. It is a tad short, for starters. Normally length is not a problem for me, but I feel as though the conclusion with the two girls was cut short. Some of the combat, while awesome, felt a little forced as well. Also, the "reveal". I going to try to say this in as spoiler free a way as possible, but here goes nothing. I don't like what they did with the reveal, mostly because I don't like it when a character is suddenly and dramatically changed in an way that had no foreshadow or hint. Heck, if anything, we were led to believe the opposite. But even so, I would have been fine with it if it had been developed (as in Gone Home). To me, it felt like a cop out, and attempt to add more depth and characterization where there already was so much. Otherwise, the story was brilliant, and perfectly written. I loved all three hours with this, and I can't think of a better game to say goodbye to my PS3 with. $20 (on the season pass) well spent.… Expand
