An amazing stoy shines in a great DLC that forced some combat to appease a small part of its audience. Naughty Dog continues to shine.įinal Grade: 9.0 out of 10.0. Some might argue that it wasn’t long enough, that you had to overpay for a short DLC – but I believe that the experience of Left Behind could leave no one wanting in story. The story added feel to the original campaign, and I think it left us at the right point. Overall I felt that the DLC was amazing in story, but lacked a great deal when it came to active combat. Though there was a great use of the ‘distraction’ technique in this game, wherein you can eliminate danger perfectly by leading the infected to the humans chasing you and Joel. I totally agreed with IGN’s Colin Moriarty, when he expressed that the combat felt forced – especially near the end of the game. I’ve read other reviews of this DLC, and I do feel like most were right. My favourite moment, though, was when they tried out masks. Perfect moments include the two girls imagining a Tekken-like game, that hints to the original campaign somewhat. Their relationship is the heart of this tale, wherein we see the transformation that Ellie has gone through. Newcomer Yaani King is perfect as Riley, Ellie’s good friend. Ashley Johnson returns to the game, and yet again is amazing as Ellie. ![]() Hint.ĭon’t expect a lot with Joel, though you do see the ‘hero’ of the original campaign. The DLC does a nice job of switching at important moments in both stories – and makes the total story theme work perfectly – fighting for life, for love, for friendship – being all poetic. If you’ve played the original campaign, you should know what I mean – his injury right before winter. That is one half of the DLC, the other focuses on the immediate period following Joel’s big injury. If you played through the original campaign, you might remember Ellie talking about an old friend – mentioning how she got bit. Also, know that the original game campaign will also be SPOILED somewhat. Now, as we move on – please be aware – this coming post is SPOILER filled. Hell, maybe they’ll get to that in a later game. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ellie – but Joel’s feel was special to me, and I would have loved something like a story DLC focusing on the twenty years prior to him meeting Ellie. It did not help when I was told one would play as Ellie throughout the game. Going into this story DLC I was very much afraid of it becoming too similar to the Tomb Raider feel, and I was really worried that they potentially would ruin parts of the game campaign I absolutely loved.Īs you know, The Last of Us was a 10 out of 10 for me, and I was worried about how I would really react if they released something below average. I was really, really worried. Now, I’m not a huge DLC-gamer, I tend to stick to the originally released story.
