10 Essential Video Game DLC Packs
3. The Last of Us - Left Behind
Naughty Dog knocked it out of the park when they released the critically acclaimed Playstation 3 title, The Last of Us back in 2013. The PlayStation exclusive featured an emotional narrative and introduced the world to some incredible characters, none more so than the duo of Joel and Ellie.
Left Behind focused on Ellie, further adding depth to her character, as well as exploring her backstory and her immunity to the Cordyceps virus. Much of the DLC takes place within an abandoned shopping mall weeks before the events of the main campaign, as you take control of Ellie as she explores the mall with her friend Riley.
The expansion took a different approach than the main game as it saw the duo fool around the mall and featured little combat. This ultimately drew Ellie, as well as the player, into a false sense of security that proved disastrous when they eventually encountered the infected at the end of the DLC, which culminates with the pair being bitten.
For those that enjoy the world that Naughty Dog has created, Left Behind is as important to the story as the events of the main game and is therefore integral to the series.
