Unlike the original game, we don’t face humans until the very end, and even this sequence isn’t very graphic, however this can be stabbed and shot with a pistol and bow, spraying and splattering blood. On occasion, players encounter zombie creatures and get to take them on with a pistol, knife and bow showing a small amount of blood upon killing them and while using explosives, brief gore. Infrequent and relatively tame violence compared to the first game. Serving as a prologue and DLC to the original game, The Last of Us (2013), we switch back and forth between the main games events which remained unseen until now and the past with Ellie and her friend.

Left Behind does not require ownership of the full game and also includes a two-hour free trial of the Factions multiplayer mode, which can be upgraded to the full version via an in-game purchase.The Last of Us: Left Behind (2014) follows 14 year old Ellie and her friend Riley through a shopping mall in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Left Behind was also among our favourite games of 2014. The game won two Video Game Baftas earlier in 2015, one for best story and another for best performer, given to Ellie's voice actress Ashley Johnson. There is also a shorter side story during an unseen period of the full game, which sees Ellie helping Joel after he sustains a near-fatal injury. Riley and Ellie embark on a little adventure through an abandoned shopping mall as their friendship is explored and we learn more about one of The Last Of Us's main characters. Starring Ellie, the game takes place three weeks prior to her meeting the main game's chief protagonist, Joel.Įllie is awoken by her best friend Riley and told she has joined the resistance group called the Fireflies, who oppose the military's oppressive measures to maintain humanity's survival in the face of a devastating infection that has swept the globe. Released in February 2014, Left Behind was a fine piece of DLC for the classic original tale of post-apocalyptic survival. Left Behind is available to download for PS4 through PSN for £7.99. Sony has released the standalone version of Naughty Dog's award-winning single player DLC for The Last Of Us. Ellie (right) and Riley in artwork for The Last Of Us: Left Behind.
