thegamer.comThe Last of Us episode seven has come and gone and it was one that was largely focused on a backstory. Hewing fairly close to The Last of Us DLC Left Behind, episode seven told a story about Ellie and her best friend Riley. [Spoilers ahead] It was a heartfelt episode, with lovely, whimsical moments, and a tragic ending. But it appears episode seven has been attracting some very negative ratings.
Episode seven started with a continuation of the previous episode, with Joel badly wounded by a gunshot, and Ellie has managed to drag her guardian into shelter. Needing to apply medical treatment, Ellie goes to look for supplies. Then, the episode shifts and we're back to an earlier time, with Ellie training at a FEDRA facility.

But while nearly 39 percent of users gave it a 10/10 score, a surprising number has rated the episode just 1 out of 10.
