    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

    IDK why peaple blame technical state of PC version. Works fine and smooth on 5900X and RTX 3080.

    However the game itself is not really a game. You`d better complete it on youtube. There is almost no gameplay. Completed "Days Gone" and it had both drama and good gaming competition. Sorry, I see no game here:(

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    The Meh!:
    If they didn't want to release this game on PC they shouldn't have forced or tried to push the matter forward. It is seen that in this port they put their hands a lot because releasing patches to fix something and damaging other parts is not normal. There is a self-sabotage or a hint of doubt of wanting to do it wrong on purpose to make PCs feel bad.

    For some reason my 12600k sits at 90-100% usage while my 3070ti chills somewhere below 60% and cant even put texture on anything above lowest settings at 1440p. Watch the show instead, its better.

    The only positive thing about this port is that it precompiles shaders and they somehow even messed that up at launch.

    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.
