The only real complaint here is that it only takes about four hours to complete, and that’s if you go at a snail’s pace. For $15, that might not seem like a lot of content for most people. But the quality more than speaks for itself and is easily worth the price of admission. Of all the things that should be left behind, this DLC is not one of them.
John Llewellyn Martin · Feb 21, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewIt's delightfully ironic that the one game which really didn't need any DLC has received one of the best pieces of DLC in recent memory. Left Behind is a fine blueprint that details the right way to thoughtfully and meaningfully expand on the arc of a story-driven game.
Brad Shoemaker · Feb 18, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full review...a great addition to The Last of Us. ...it adds some actual meaning, gives us a new way to play and an intimate look into Ellie's poignant past
Mike Huber · Feb 18, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Overall, Left Behind is a great addition to the already brilliant Last of Us. Naughty Dog took the only two segments of the story they hadn’t fully fleshed out and let you play your way through them, even if you already know the disheartening conclusion. While excellent, Left Behind definitely could have been longer, but with such a well crafted little story, it’s hard to fault the game for not giving me some more monster killing filler.
Doug Mercer · Feb 15, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewIf more story content for The Last of Us is what you’re after, you couldn’t have asked for much better than Left Behind, and Naughty Dog shows once again why they’re among the most respected developers in the industry.
Matt Beaudette · Feb 15, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewHowever, quality almost always trumps quantity, and Naughty Dog’s inaugural solo expansion packs plenty of the former into its two or so hour campaign. This is a touching, intelligent, and largely refreshing extension to the core escapade, and while it’s not exactly brimming with narrative revelations, it’s still a beautiful story that you shouldn’t let pass you by.
Sammy Barker · Feb 14, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewLeft Behind is worth the wait, worth every penny you spend on it, and worth the two-hour plus investment of time you put into playing it. It’s even worth playing The Last of Us in its entirety again before loading up Left Behind for the first time so you can get the most out of the atmosphere, gameplay, and connection to these deep characters.
Anthony Severino · Feb 14, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewLeft Behind is the perfect complimentary side-dish for The Last of Us. It’s happier at points, but just as bleak at others, and everything else is pretty much on par with any of the other chapters in the tale. There’s a brilliant approach to the narrative, while Ellie and Riley’s charm shines throughout, their wonder and imagination matching exactly how you’ll feel as you return to this world.
Blair Inglis · Feb 14, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewAt around two and a half hours long, it's not an epic experience, but another window into Ellie's life. Instead of blunting the impact as I feared, Riley and Ellie's story adds resonance to the original game's ending. For The Last of Us fans, this is a ride well worth taking.
Matt Helgeson · Feb 14, 2014 Reviewed on PS3That sequence aside, Left Behind feels like an important step for Naughty Dog. It's aware of its own shortcomings and largely willing to focus on its strengths. It embraces the developer's impressive character development capabilities, and inches away from including elements that feel arbitrarily shoved in "because it's a game." Left Behind is small and quiet, but it's also confident in a way The Last of Us never quite achieved.

Un DLC que nos da mayor contexto sobre el pasado de ellie, corto pero sin duda algo que merece la pena.
Reviewed on PS3The DLC is a worthy add-on to part 1 as it explaines the relationship between Ellie and Joel. Just like the main story, it is well made with deep character development. Still the same clunky controls as the main story game, which makes sense as it is DLC but still highly recommend this. If you have a playstation, this is a series you MUST play.
