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.
