While honestly the thought never crossed my mind playing the original game, but after the inclusion in the DLC, I will now look at the main game quite differently in regards to combat and wishing there were more moments like the ones presented in Left Behind. Long story short, still freaking amazing. Refer to our previous review of The Last of Us for a more comprehensive review of the game's presentation. I've been gaming pretty heavily on the nextgen consoles so sometimes when I go back to lastgen games the difference in graphic fidelity is pretty obvious.

It's been a while since I've played the game but when I played this DLC pack I was still amazed that this game was possible on the PS3 hardware. As a total package, it just felt like both sides fit together. While the two sequences were inherently very different from each other, I never felt like one detracted from the other. The slow paced lull of the Riley flashbacks worked well as the antithesis to the combat heavy solo missions with Ellie searching for medical supplies. The flashbacks are an interesting take on the story and one I felt was executed very well. The two girls find themselves in an abandoned mall and the majority of their side story is spent exploring, playing with random toys they find, and making such a racket I was saying, 'do you not realize that the world is swarming with infected people?' When this DLC pack was first announced, I was curious how they would tackle combat, I knew that Ellie didn't really come into her own as a combatant until the events of The Last of Us. Ellie is suddenly woken up when her friend Riley has snuck back to visit her, Riley enlisted herself in the Fireflies and coerces Ellie to sneak out so the old friends can spend some time together before Riley leaves for good.

This prompts a series of flashbacks to events that unfolded prior to the game. She gets him to an abandoned shopping mall and locks him in one of the shops while she searches for medical supplies. The majority of the combat sequences take place in a series of events following a midpoint in the game where Joel is mortally wounded and Ellie frantically tries to save his life. Interestingly, the story sheds light on two untold stories from The Last of Us. I was very pleasantly surprised and I think you will be too. With this being a game, I was curious how the developers would include gameplay during a part before Ellie became the badass mini Lara Croft she became when you controlled her in The Last of Us. Left Behind gives us a deeper glimpse into Ellie's character and her best friend Riley, who we know from the game, has been dead since before the start of Joel and Ellie's tale. Early in this new year, we finally get our hands on the first piece of story centric DLC for the game. Written by Justin Prince ( The Last of Us was one of the most praised video games of 2013.
