For them, the length of the add-on didn’t justify the price, but that didn’t stop them marveling at some of the mechanics and terrifying situations Ellie and Riley can find themselves in. Metro, too, were moved to award the DLC with an 8/10. The conclusions they reach are surprising, touching and sad.” They shift between light-hearted banter, tense drama and nearly breaking down under the weight of the post-apocalyptic world they live in.”Īdded “They talk about music, friends and romantic interests, but they also spend a lot of time trying to figure out where they belong in a world torn apart by disease and death. Polygon have gained a reputation for being Microsoft-heavy in their praise, but that didn’t stop them awarding PS3 exclusive Left Behind with a healthy 8.0, saying: “Ellie and Riley aren't easy stereotypes, either. After all, everything they know about the pre-Infected world comes by way of stories from older folks and their own observations of the decaying world around them.”
“There’s an important touchstone to the past here, even if neither Ellie nor Riley necessarily knows that. “The majority of Left Behind takes place in a mall, which I loved simply because two girls going to the mall is something that happens with regularity in the real, pre-apocalyptic world,” he says in his 9.0 review. For IGN’s Colin Moriarty, this is one of the aspects that carried over well to Left Behind, which features Ellie’s story before she met Joel. Using a shiv to open a door to an otherwise inaccessible room offered up great reward, and extra tidbits of story would be relayed in places off the beaten track. Riley and Ellie in The Last of Us' Left Behind DLC out today: Feb 14Īt the heart of The Last of Us’ charm lay a vested interest in extracurricular foraging. Now the journey is extended with Left Behind: the first and only piece of DLC for Joel and Ellie’s adventure. It was, by all accounts – including ours – a masterpiece. The Last of Us was a forensically crafted, deep title with time spent on characterization never before seen in videogames. There's no word on whether "The Last of Us" is a stand-alone title or part of a franchise supported by multiple sequels, but the game will be supported by singleplayer DLC.Ĭheck out "The Last of Us" in action below.Naughty Dog put time, care and attention into their work.
Similar to every other creature in existence (with rare exceptions, like the Lemming), they're just trying to survive the nightmare that they find themselves in.
They're merely two desperate souls who form a bond by sharing experiences filled with both horror and happiness. In short, Joel and Ellie aren't protagonists. "The Last of Us" isn't full of choices that are merely black or white - like real life itself, its world is very, very gray. The game also revolves around the "moral choice" game mechanic that began to gain prominence with the original "Bioshock," among other games. "The Last of Us" is very story driven, focusing around two survivors: Joel and Ellie. At E3 2013, the upcoming survival-horror game "The Last of Us" was shown off by developer Naughty Dog, creator also of "Uncharted." "The Last of Us" is only two days from release and will be exclusively for the PS3.
