in the past


A beautiful, emotional prologue to the main game's heroine. The full extent of Ellie and Riley's relationship is never made abundantly clear but what is blindingly obvious is the love they hold for each other and I adored it. I would've preferred if they had just left it as the flashback sections rather than Ellie's journey through the mall, but even then I can't complain as it is an extra chance to play through even more of The Last of Us' excellent combat. It is a testament to the main game that this was the first time I was genuinely stumped by a puzzle as the main games' puzzles were easy to figure out but didn't treat you like an idiot. An excellent expansion, one that I will revisit on future playthroughs of TLoU.

The Last of Us: Left Behind is a really solid prequel DLC that really builds onto Ellie's character as a whole, and makes her even more likeable. This game has such a great story in it, and is very emotional in it's telling.

It's not as fun as the base game, and I do believe the base game is a better game overall, with a better story. But for a DLC, this holds up really well, and by far beats out most DLCs, because it actually holds up to the base game as a good prequel that feels in fit to the main game, and doesn't feel disrespectful to it at all.

Just a really good DLC, it is short but it's fine if it is. Also a must play, if you have played The Last of Us, you need to play this.

Overall: 8/10


oh the happy lesbians you deserved better

Heartwrenching young love story momentarily interrupted by the game designer catching his head on the back of his seat every 20 minutes and remembering to shoehorn in a combat section.

I love this dlc so much fun to play after the main game

It's a nice DLC but It's honestly very short.
There are some great moments in it, and Ellie's relationship with Riley is very well written.

Also I personally liked how Ellie feels weaker than Joel, so killing enemies is more challenging.

Overall I liked it a lot, but it doesn't really add anything new except from some more backstory to Ellie.

Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.

Very short game with not so much to do. Nevertheless I think this is a beautiful add-on to the existent game "The Last of Us" because you get to know a little bit of Ellie's story (actually more like her romantic story but anyways). It's a good game but not anything amazing.

até no apocalipse gay ta sofrendo

The Last of Us: Left Behind is more of a nice extra rather than a fully fledged DLC. The story is compelling and feels crucial to understanding Ellie's full story in the best way possible, but the gameplay segments feel very repetitive and bland - obviously the story this told didn't really fit gameplay so they had to improvise, but that regardless doesn't make me feel any better about it. All in all, this is a great experience for fans of TLOU but I wouldn't recommend it over any other titles in the franchise.

não esperava tanto, acabou que eu gostei mais que a maior parte do jogo em si

An alright expansion, though incredibly unnecessary.

chorei

This DLC is so well designed, not being overly ambitious, while still adding valuable information to the main narrative, The Last of us's strongest point.

(from original post in 2021) pretty good

worthwhile DLC that details Ellie well for the next game

A delightful slice of the Last of Us story beautifully interwoven with playable memories from Ellie's past.

I was so happy to return to this universe, to these characters and to their stories in this expansion. Best of all the writing is on par with the base game, often a stumbling block for additional story content in games.

It's a short expansion which is easily beaten in a short 2hrs and probably best enjoyed in one play session. Personally I'm absolutely fine with the length of this, for the story it tells it felt it was well paced and perfectly sized. Rather than expanding the world of the last of us, Left Behind feels more like the missing piece of the puzzle you didn't know was missing. For some that's a disappointment but for me, it couldn't feel more absolutely fitting.


Buen prólogo para la historia, en algunos aspectos mejor que el juego base.

we can all be poetic and just lose our minds together

This was super fun! I always wondered how Ellie patched Joel up between the time he gets injured in the base game and when we cut back to her hunting deer. Although not so satisfying a story (she just goes out to find medical supplies and eventually does after being ambushed by infected and soldiers lol), it does well to parallel the other story and display her motivations for saving Joel, that being her and Riley's relationship, and the things Riley said to her. I think they probably wanted to have a section with Ellie during the last of us so they could include some stealth and shooting sections, where the part with Ellie and Riley is before either of them have had any shooting experience. Honestly, the Ellie/Riley part had good story, boring gameplay, while the Ellie saving Joel part had good gameplay and boring story lol. There was a part at the end of the Ellie saving Joel part where it was really confusing on where to go, and then the triangle prompt was in a place I had just looked... weird stuff

There was so much charming dialogue and cute moments... I had already seen most of it in the show which probably made it hit a little less hard too! I do remember being confused when watching the show. Honestly it worked better for me here.
