The Last of Us is easily one of the best games of PlayStation 3’s generation – if not the best game, period – so any excuse to jump back into its expertly realized world is most welcome. With Left Behind, developer Naughty Dog’s only single-player DLC for The Last of Us, we get to do just that. Squeezing out just a few more precious hours of exploration in its post-pandemic, post-apocalyptic United States includes both enlightening story reveals and an interesting new take on combat.
The real beauty of Left Behind is that it isn’t derivative of The Last of Us’ campaign, nor is it an afterthought or a cash-in (though, at $14.99, it’s a tad bit expensive). It’s a thoughtful and meaningful prologue to the events of the original game, fleshing-out Ellie’s origins through the lens of her friendship with a girl named Riley (who’s first introduced in the companion comics, American Dreams). We get a true taste for Ellie’s connection with Riley, and how that helps form who she’s become by the time she meets Joel. And there are a ton of other surprises, to boot.
