You never stray from Ellie’s point of view throughout as you learn about her adolescent friendship with Riley and her strength in ensuring Joel’s safety. Even despite the knowledge of Riley’s fate (gamers learn of her death in the main story), Druckmann and Straley craft a compelling game that creates an earnest hope that something miraculous could avert the impending tragedy. The game jumps between these two time periods, and while they’re not connected in either story or gameplay, you get a sense of who Ellie was prior to meeting Joel. The second part takes places around the mid-part of the third act of the primary campaign when Joel, after being injured during a fierce battle with hunters at a college campus, becomes indisposed.
The first part serves as a prequel to the game and introduces the player to the character Riley Abel (voiced by Yaani King), a close friend of Ellie’s that has connections to the rebel militants, the Fireflies. In the DLC, gamers play Ellie (Johnson) for three to four hours, jumping between two pivotal moments in her life. Voiced by Troy Baker ( Batman: Arkham Origins, Bioshock: Infinite) and Ashley Johnson ( Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction), the duo reflect the feelings of being on the opposite ends of an emotional spectrum during an epidemic that collapses humanity. After facing a myriad of obstacles and enemies, the game’s two protagonists, Ellie and Joel, who started out as strangers, become irreplaceable in one another’s lives. If you have, you’ll already understand why the ending of The Last of Us was exceptionally perfect. If you haven’t played Naughty Dog’s critically acclaimed third-person survival-horror action game, please do so before reading this review. '9-1-1' Canceled By Fox, Moving To ABC This Fall
