For those of you that have read the four-part comic, American Dreams, it’s clear that Ellie and Riley are not only besties for life, but they also have the tendency to constantly get themselves into mischief. The action sections of Left Behind legitimately taxed my nerves and made me think on my toes time is limited before you’re caught and you have humans and infected to deal with at times.īetween each action sequence with solo Ellie, we are transported to flashbacks of Ellie’s past with her best friend, Riley. Running like a bull through a china shop is certainly not a viable option unless you want to rage quit. There are more strategic avenues the players can take when dealing with threats, which is definitely recommended considering Ellie’s handicaps. She moves a little slower, takes greater damage with a larger recovery time, and feels clumsier than Joel.

The action sequences are interesting, as Ellie’s gameplay and controls feel limited, making perfect sense considering she’s only a young teenager. We get to witness how Ellie managed to save Joel during the lost time between the university and the winter chapter of The Last of Us story line. Ever since the DLC was announced, I’ve been waiting with bated breath for its release and, on Valentine’s Day, I got myself the most romantic gift of all: Left Behind. I opened up a bottle of wine and steeled myself for the inevitable feels that would surely turn me into the most pathetic sap you’ve ever seen. It’s no secret that The Last of Usis by far my one of my favorite games of all time and arguably should have won Game of the Year at the VGX’s.
