This incredible game has it all. Action, adventure, and a real story with characters worth caring about. Proof that female characters can be something besides window dressing/eye candy or trophies to be one by the male hero. The characters are realistic looking. The young teenage girls who are the main protagonists are tough and resilient, but that doesn't stop them from also being emotional.
The story also briefly touches upon the possible romance between Ellie and Riley. This word may be overused, but I think it was brave of the game's creators to have a homosexual rather than heterosexual romantic pairing, and to show an actual lesbian romance with real human feelings rather than exploiting lesbian love for the purpose of titillating heterosexual male gamers.
Games like The Last Of Us Left Behind will change the face of gaming and have the possibility of creating real social change too. I truly hope to see more such games being released in the future.
