While the flashback sections aren't essential to understanding Ellie's character, the relationship between her and Riley enriches the main game. The greatest compliment I can give this dlc is that I wish it had been integrated into the main game. Still, if you get the Enhanced version of The Last of Us 1, for PS4 or PS5 (or PC, if you want a laugh) then this game is free, and for a free bonus chapter, I'd say it's more than good enough. it was just the game no longer accepting input. The main menu worked fine still, and the controls would restore when I'd be forced to try again, so I know it wasn't the controller. And this may sound odd, but the end of the flashback involves a sudden zombie attack (well, infected attack), and while this was well-done overall, the game literally killed me 3 times because, for no reason, the controls just stopped functioning from time to time. For one thing, the bulk of it involves teenagers sneaking out, going into a restricted area, which is not only close to soldiers (of a semi-totalitarian government) but also close to zombie infested areas, yet they run around, making LOTS of noise, and yelling “WEE!” (or the equivalent) A LOT!! This kind of thing always annoys me considerably, and this is actually one of the worst examples of it. As for the flashback segments, they're more than adequate, but they do suffer from a few problems of their own. Not to mention just the satisfaction knowing that a lot of raiders were lost during the time that the main game did not show. It works because Ellie was always the one that we, the audience, interacted with, rather than saw everything through, so hearing her thoughts and seeing how she approaches situations, similar but not the same as Joel, does add a good bit of bonus content. Also good is that we actually see an engaging bit of storytelling that takes place in the present, during a time in the main game (about 80% through) where Ellie is the one protecting Joel, rather than the other way around. 2h 44m PlayedThis DLC/Expansion does offer a solid bit of character building, and it does represent a rare instance where viewing someone's backstory is actually somewhat engaging.
