    Good game, ran pretty descent on my old 1080 ti in 1440p with FSR but nowdays on 3080 ti it just flies on max details and graphics are pretty amazing. Story, atmosphere and gameplay are solid and the game is enjoyable. Can`t wait for part 2

    Even without the horrible performance issues, the game just... isn't that good? It would make a great movie or tv show (imagine that!) but the actual game parts of the game suck. The graphics are amazing and detailed, the characters and dialogue and story are intriguing, but it all keeps getting interrupted by a completely run-of-the-mill cover shooter with some stealth elements.

There is only 1 part in the game I would even consider a boss fight, and it's nowhere near the end of the game. There are no puzzles, unless you count "there's a ledge you can't reach, find the ladder conveniently placed somewhere nearby to continue" as a puzzle, because there about a dozen of those. When the gameplay of a game is the worst part of the game, it gets a low score from me no matter how good the rest might be. After hearing for YEARS about what a masterpiece this game was, and finally being able to play it for myself (I've never owned a playstation) it did not live up to the hype at all.… Expand

    This game is worse than tomb raider by a mile. It's worse than days gone even.
    The only reason people praise this game is because it baits you into feeling sad?
    See this person? what if they were real nice, and then we killed them. woah. amazing. go kill zombies. #deep

    Eventually, this game may be worth recommending. Given that Iron Galaxy are also partially responsible for Fallout 76 and Arkham Knight, though, I wouldn't bet on that happening any time soon.    … Expand

    still.
    I've tried every time there's been a patch. My PC is well within recommended settings and yet there is STILL constant micro-stutter.
    I think I've just about had enough.
    I regret buying this. I have not had a moment of fun or entertainment from this product. That's a lot of money, completely wasted.

    So many people worked on this game, so much money, the rating because of that should be AAAAAAAAAA but the quaiity is like cybescam2077 or even worse.

    It deserves more hate than everything else for lase few years.
    This is so very bad made game, who cars that is has less bugs on ps5.
    It is still super-crap.

    These guys from Iron Galaxy have done it again, yes sir, incredible but true. I can not understand why Naughty crew is still working with this people after the Uncharted 4 disaster. Very poor performance considering that this is a game from more than 10 years ago, only with new beautiful skins. I usually play heavy games on    I5 10gen + 16GB + RTX 3060 and 1.0.5 game version.

    I usually play heavy games on high-ultra without any problem (Atomic Heart, Valhalla, RDR2, etc). And the real point here is not that I have to play it at 30-40 fps, it's not that dramatic to imagine that I have an old console instead of a decent computer, the really annoying thing are the sudden drops during epic cinematic sequences. Simply unacceptable for the price it costs.    … Expand

When you are fighting zombies, if you turn the camera, it will hiccup and you lose your bearing, then get killed. That is only half the misery, every time when I start the game, it takes up to 10 minutes on the loading screen. It's definitely in an unplayable state. And don't trust the positive reviews on Steam, because obviously Sony fanboys heard about the game's failure on PC, and they come to the rescue, with a lot of them leaving a cultish praising review for the game after merely 2 hours of play. tse tse. Sony tried to block Microsoft's Activision acquisition because Sony is afraid that Microsoft may deliberately make the PS version of COD worse so people will rush to buy an Xbox. I have an urge to buy a PS version of TLOU right now, is this what you meant, Sony scumbags?    … Expand

    The worst game ever, as long as it is Iron Galaxy then it sucks.
    Sony should be ashamed to themselves for not using its own port company Nixxes.
    what an irony messing this flagship and IP on a bad and incompetent company like Iron Galaxy.
    Sony you deserve this.

    I had been waiting for a PC port for a long time, since I had never had the chance to play the game. I was very hyped. Unfortunately, I encountered a lot of bugs while playing. I have a mid-end PC that can run most games in high or ultra quality but this game just eats up all the VRAM and the optimization is terrible... Had to play it with very low settings and it worsened the experience.

    You are at a 3/10 now, congratulations. It only gets a 3 because I played through some of the content.

    I leave first impressions below:
    I finally got to play the Remake of The Last of Us on PC to see the Juicy Graphics and enhanced gameplay. I played The Last of Us on the PS3, the Remastered on PS4, and now we are at the Remake.
    I have to say, this is the worst Port to PC I have ever seen, the game stutters for me a lot, I am yet to see any crashes, and the shader compilation took over 2 hours?!

    My specs:
    - Ryzen 5 3600
    - 16GB DDR4
    - HDD
    - RTX 3060 12G
    I tested the game @ 1440p and 1080p with DLSS on all quality modes, on High Graphics, it runs at 60fps+ but can't maintain a constant locked Framerate, and stutters a lot, especially during combat sections.

    As for the price, there is no reason for this game to be full price, if you're going to buy this, DON'T. Wait 6 months, and make sure your PC is beefed up. I'd pay around $30 for a game that was already released 10 years ago with fancy graphics, and no multiplayer.

    The enhancements of this game are pretty poor for a "REMAKE", Joel may be old but give the man a dodge mechanic. I expected that to be added because damn it's pretty tough to play after being exposed to Part 2s mechanics. Yes, yes crafting table, whatever, it's just a flashy weapon upgrade screen.

    Clearly, Sony, Naughty Dog and Iron Galaxy did not test this game properly or at all and decided to take shortcuts. I love Playstation games, but this port hurts a lot, especially towards PC players.

    I want more Ports from Sony but if they are going to be like this, I don't want them, I'd rather not waste my time and not support them.

    It's a 6/10, Somewhat playable, but with bad stuttering at least for me, no multiplayer, and no actual or useful enhancements. A 6/10 in my book means you don't need to get this immediately, Just wait for a Sale on Steam.

    How the Mighty, have fallen.

    Personal Message to PlayStation (If an employee ever reads this): You guys make good games, I've been a fan for more than 15 years but from what I've seen recently you have forgotten that quality is better than quantity. While yes you have delivered good ports of other games so far, The Last of Us is one of your biggest properties and should have been polished from day one. One day I hope to work for PlayStation but if this is going to be the direction you'll be taking, shortcuts, following trends and making poor decisions, I would say I'm better off at EA or Ubisoft.

    Good luck and Happy Developing, also please Give us a Bloodborne Remake, and a Demon Souls Port, It is time.    … Expand

    В целом плохая оптимизация не особо сильно помешала в прохождении игры, но когда покупаешь игру за 4,5 К, ждешь конечно продукт гораздо лучшего качества. Отдать данный порт такой компании как Iron Galaxy, это было просто полнейшим идиотизмом со стороны Sony, т.к. в 2015 году, эта компания портировала Batman Arkham Knight, которую потом вообще убрали из продаж почти на целый год, пока не выпустили переработанную и играбельную версию. К слову за все время существования компании Iron Galaxy, она выпустила только один более менее достойный порт не очень то популярной игры, все остальные релизы оставляли желать лучшего. Чем нужно было руководствоваться, что бы принять решение о найме данной компании для релиза на ПК одного из флагманских эксклюзивов Sony останется загадкой.
    P.S. Проходил данную игру давным давно еще на PS3 и затем на PS4, так что в целом впечатления от перепрохождения её на ПК не были особо испорчены этим ужасающим релизом, но не смотря на это я не рекомендую покупать данный продукт, особенно тем, кто в него не играл ранее. Я крайне не доволен политикой Sony в отношении как ПК геймеров, так и геймеров с платформ PS. Понятное дело, что рынок и прибыль решает, но что мешает Sony прислушаться к своему комьюнити и исправить многие спорные решения, которые не требуют особых финансовых затрат как на PS, так при релизах на ПК мне скорее всего понятно, предположу что это жадность и глупость тех самых "эффективных менеджеров" которые принимают решения как о развитии экосистемы PS, выборе компаний для портирования своих эксклюзивов и региональных ценах, использование которых крайне странно определяется для каждой страны или региона.    … Expand

    I'm giving this game 3/10 because of its poor performance . To this day they still haven't fixed the memory leak issue and the high Cpu, Gpu usage. If you hate your hardware so much and want to grill your PC, then play this game . It's so sad because the game is not bad but the optimization kills any hope for me to play this bad PC port.

    Terrible technical condition of the game. It is simply impossible to play when the FPS suddenly drops from 60 to 5 and does not recover. I have to restart the game, but after a few minutes the FPS drops again.
    Several released patches do not fix the situation, but only make it worse.
    Just a mediocre team of complete bums did the porting of the game.

    Yes, The Last of Us Part I for the PC has somewhat improved a little under two months in. Graphical stutters, framedrops, and other visual artifacts currently exist. If you’re able to look past those graphical shortcomings, The Last of Us Part I is a truly exceptional game. Consider waiting just a bit more before jumping into one of the best series from Sony and Naughty Dog to date.

    The remake of one of the most iconic games of all time finally got its PC version. Unfortunately, it is plagued with bugs and glitches, and the optimization is extremely poor. If you are not in a rush, wait for a more substantial update that will hopefully solve most of these problems. In the meantime, give it a try on the PlayStation 5 if you have the chance.

    It’s nice to be able to experience Joel and Ellie’s story on the PC. But it’s not the best way to go about things and a game as brilliant as this deserved better from its port. The crown jewel of three generations of PlayStation should’ve arrived in a much better state.
