    Fine addition for the best game of last generation. And though addition very short (it is passed less than in 2 hours), but sincere. Namely modern games lack it, and always is at the Naughty Dog projects.

Fine childish interactive sports, live dialogue the 2nd teenager and even a hint on young love. Also Naughty Dog wants to thank for it. Very much I hope that Last of Us II will not lose these advantages.… Expand

    Lovingly crafted mini episode showing a glimpse of Ellie's life before the Joel years... The flash back/forward narrative is a little odd. Great, but short. Like many DLC's for single player adventure games, this really felt like it belonged in the main campaign not as a separate DLC purchase. Playing this was all I could do to whet my appetite for TLOU part II!!!

    An amazing prequel / sequel to The Last of Us. Worthy of the original game. Best DLC you'll ever buy. The writing is just as good as the main story, although since you know the story in the 'present' perhaps some drama is lost, and I wasn't captivated by the story of the soldiers. The prequel parts are worth every penny, though.

    This brilliantly made prequel serves as a strong addition to The Last of Us, although sometimes it feels a little bit like a deleted section of the main game that was removed for being unnecessary.

    This is a small prequel to the main game. Game play is the same as main game, not quite as much in terms of action though. Overall a fun addition to the main game.

    Left Behind is just as amazing as it was on PS3, but now it also comes with the base game. Just like The Last of Us, Left Behind is a masterpiece. Everything from the writing, to the performances, graphics, gameplay, and music are done at the same level of polish as the main game. This is the best DLC ever.

    Lo he jugado justo tras finalizar la historia principal. Me ha encantado, historia alucinante, gráficos igual que el juego principal (me ha dado para unas cuantas capturas más), banda sonora preciosa y jugabilidad mejor pulida que en el resto del juego en mi opinión. Tiene un par de fallos de diseño en algún nivel pero el resto es perfecto. Historia 10, Arte 10, Jugabilidad 10*.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Es llamativo para mí que un DLC tan corto corrija el único problema que le encontré a TLOU: lo lento de la narrativa. Left Behind tiene un ritmo muy veloz, tanto en jugabilidad como en cinemáticas, en ningún momento nos aburrimos puesto que siempre se está avanzando.

    El capitulo encaja perfecto en la trama principal, y el Story Telling de saltos entre dos épocas le cae como anillo al dedo. Lo anterior, no solo para crear un contexto, sino para que el jugador termine de introducirse en la trama principal. La historia del DLC me ha parecido más emocional que el juego base y el final me dejó bastante sentimental, pese a que ya sabía cómo terminaría.

    En resumen: es un DLC que vale mucho la pena. No tanto por la duración o contenido, sino por la asombrosa calidad.    … Expand

    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

Serving in part as a prequel to the main game, while also filling in a small timeline gap, Left Behind doesn't actually require you to have played the original title. So in a sense this can serve as a great way to introduce yourself to the game's mechanics for a pretty cheap price in order to see if it's for you or not. However doing so is kind of cheating yourself. One of the big payoffs of the DLC is seeing how it plays off that little endgame speech Ellie gives in the main game, as well as learning a bit more about her. Plus there's the fact that playing Left Behind first also has some spoilers.

    The DLC doesn't do too much that the main game didn't. The main difference being that you're playing as Ellie for the entire experience. It's still the same excellent mix of stealth, crafting, and brutal combat, but Ellie has a distinct feel that's much different from Joel. It's enough to keep the action fresh for the roughly 2 hour playtime. However the biggest change that's noticeable from the action is that there are encounters where you'll be dealing with both the infected and other survivors, something that never happened in the main game. This allows for the option to pit your foes against each other in a way that feels organic and believable. It's something I would love to see expanded upon in The Last of Us Part II.

    Left Behind is really too experiences in one. Half of it is set during Joel and Ellie's trek across the country and features the more standard TLOU gameplay. The other half is a prequel set before they even met and has an even stronger emphasis on storytelling. The gameplay in these sections are more linear and don't actually feature much combat. It's more like a series of mini-games. Yet, the way it's handled is fun. It really sells the feeling of hanging out and playing with a friend.

    Love and friendship are big themes here. The prequel story is sweet, touching, and very deep to the point of being outright profound. Of course this all comes with the heartbreaking and bleak nature of the world Naughty Dog has crafted. The writing and performances are just as incredible as they were in the main game, once again rivaling anything you'll see in movies.

    It's simply more of The Last of Us. Something that's by no means a bad thing. It's definitely more linear and over in no time at all, but when it comes to storytelling and inventive gameplay scenarios Left Behind delivers in spades. It's basically a must for any TLOU fan. For newcomers, I recommend playing the main game first, but this can still serve as a powerful introduction to one of gaming's best titles.

Both timelines have natural parallels to each other as the past timeline slowly starts relating to the current timeline. Riley strenghtens Ellie's character immensely as she takes many traits and beliefs from Riley, and it also adds weight to many scenes from the base game. Although only 3 hours long, its narrative is strong and the $15 price tag is reasonable. By far, one of the best story DLCs ever created!… Expand

    另一条线就跟主线剧情很像了，但同时也加入了一点新东西，就是能引发感染者和人类之间的争斗，从而渔翁得利。    支线4小时左右就结束了，两条故事线交替进行，质量还可以，但是略微有点短，不知道刚出的时候是不是付费的。

    Un buen rato de entretenimiento, quizás no tan bueno como el juego original, pero igual de interesante.
    En conclusión...
    Está chido 8/10

    A perfect addition that will beautifully add something about Elie and what happened in between when Joel was injured. The music is great again, the dialogues are great, the relationship between Ellie and Riley was perfect and emotional. As an addition to the game, absolute bombaba!!!
    9/10
