You’ll collect a bow later on, just as human enemies enter the picture. Ellie plays just the same as in the main game, small and fast with a knife. You hunt through sections of the mall for the medical equipment you need, taking down zombies and clickers along the way.
“Survivor” Ellie is on her own, working with a pistol, knife, and whatever else you find along the way. The two bounce off of each other and develop, creating a character driven second half to the story.Įllie and Riley are BFFs. Visited by her friend Riley, a rebellious girl who left six weeks prior, Ellie is roped into a journey to an old, abandoned mall near the school, with a girl she is both happy to see alive and secretly somewhat angry at. On the flip, we switch to Ellie a few weeks before the events of the game, living at a boarding school controlled by the government. As the cold sets in, Ellie hides Joel somewhere safe before going off to find medical supplies in a snow-dusted mall near where Joel suffered his injury, thus setting the stage for one half of the story. Players familiar with the game will know that this part ends with Joel being badly injured, leading to Ellie caring for him throughout Winter. However, the DLC opens right in the middle of the game, during the end of Fall. Left Behind has been promoted as something of a prologue chapter, giving us a very welcome window into Ellie’s recent past in the time leading up to the story of the main game. Does the DLC mix stealth, action and story as well as the game before it? Those are big shoes for a girl of fourteen to fill. This gives us a closer look at Ellie, and a chapter of her life from before the main game begins. The Last of Us combined perfectly deep combat with a narrative that was organic and human, without needed absurd complexity or crazy twists to tell one of the most emotionally evocative stories ever put into a game. Naughty Dog’s zombie apocalypse game was one of the biggest titles of last year, getting game of the year awards from dozens of websites, including being the favorite of myself and several others here at Hey Poor Player. The Last of Us has quickly become something of a legend. I personally agree with, and endorse, the score he gave. The main game was reviewed by our own Burtacamoose last year, and can be read here. It does not, however, contain spoilers for this DLC. The following review contains spoilers for The Last of Us.
