    While The Last of Us Part I is arguably the game’s best version, its PC port is incredibly sub par and currently needs a lot of fixing.

    Was it worth the 10-year wait? Well, the game itself was, because it is still good, but the port is straight up awful, which is kinda funny, because it was made by the same studio that developed the infamously terrible PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight. There are moments when the graphics are impressive, but optimization is horrible and the game will surprise you with crashes more often than it will with story twists.

    It's one of the best adventures of the last decade, but the PC port is a disaster in terms of optimization, performance, and bugs that don't live up to the franchise.

    The game is as compelling as ever, and this is an interesting opportunity to compare it with the TV show, but at launch this is one of the worst PC ports from any major publisher in a long while.

    Sony has impressed with their recent PC ports, but something has gone awry with 'The Last of Us Part 1'. This is of the most highly regarded franchises in gaming, but this port is a buggy mess that crashes constantly and requires hours of set-up before playing. Avoid until major patches arrive, and even then, you should remain skeptical.

    This game is still an absolute huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $60 for this poorly optimized re-remaster. IThis game is still an absolute huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $60 for this poorly optimized re-remaster. I didn't know Naughty Dog still make Crash games, because that's basically what this joke of a game is. It's just crash after crash. This broken piece of garbage is full of screen tearing and FPS drops. I don't even want to hear how this is Iron Galaxy's fault. If Naughty Dog hadn't been so cheap and lazy to do the port themselves, then there would be no reason to outsource this game to those garbage developers in the first place. I have made the decision to refund this garbage. Naughty Dog never fails to amaze me on how greedy and lazy they are.

    To make matters worse, this doesn't even have the multiplayer. Lazy developers only had to work on half of the game and they still couldn't get the job done. Ever since Bruce Straley left Naughty Dog, these lazy and greedy developers have not released any multiplayer, let alone a new game that's actually finished. TLOU2 doesn't count as it's still an unfinished game. It's been almost 3 years and I still haven't gotten multiplayer for TLOU2. Not even Capcom took that long to give me RE8 online, and that game came after TLOU2. That's embarrassing. At this rate, RE4 remake will have online before TLOU2. Seeing how ridiculously long Naughty Dog is taking with Factions 2, I will have high expectations for TLOU2 multiplayer. You better not disappoint me Naughty Dog. I don't recommend this cash grab garbage game at all.    … Full Review »
