Sending a pack of Clicker’s running into a team of Hunter’s is most satisfying, and the end result will lead to less work for yourself – handy when ammunition is at a premium, and bearing in mind that Ellie is not particularly strong with melee attacks. However, one interesting element is that in areas where there are both Infected and Hunter’s, you now have the opportunity to play one off against the other, or eliminate both as you see fit. Those of you who have played Ellie’s strand in the main game will be instantly familiar with the gameplay, and in essence, nothing is remarkably different. The action based scenario sees you trying to find a medical kit for Joel’s injuries while holed up in a shopping mall, avoiding Infected and Hunter’s who do not take kindly to your presence. The two halves of the game fall into two contrasting styles of play, but neither will be unfamiliar to those that have played the main game – the story strand focusing on Ellie and her friend Riley is a fairly pedestrian affair, whereas the strand focusing on Ellie’s care for Joel is very much action based.Īs you play through, the game flips back and forth at intervals between the two settings, and although the two stories are not directly related for the purpose of the overall game, they help contrast the flow of the action with that of a more character driven experience. One part of the story explains the events of how Ellie is propelled to prominence within the main story and the second part tells the story of how Ellie cared for Joel in the immediate aftermath of his near fatal incident at the University of Colorado.
The Last Of Us: Left Behind is essentially split in to two stories, which flash backward and forward as you play through. One really needs to have completed The Last Of Us before embarking on following the story of Left Behind, and if you have yet to play main game, or have not yet completed it, you may wish to stop reading now as there are some minor spoilers ahead!
Left Behind is set up as something of a prequel to the main game, and while part of its story is set prior to the events of primary story, the bulk of this chapter actually plays out in a time frame set during the main story, albeit quite late on. Many regular readers will no doubt have read my enthusiastic embrace of the original PlayStation 3 release from a few months back, and as you can imagine I was rather keen to download and play the additional one player content Naughty Dog released on February 14th. I would not usually plan to cover DLC within my blog entries, but for The Last Of Us: Left Behind, I will make an exception.
