    I am playing with a Rtx 2060 Super in 4k Dlss Performance + Max graphics settings and framerate is good. I haven't experienced any stuttering so far. No bugs and no issues at all. Graphics quality of this remake is excellent, it's incredible the work they did with this remake. Gameplay and story are very good. I'm enjoying this game so far, excellent remake Sony thank you!

    I liked this game. The story is very good. The dialogues are very powerful. The gameplay is good but it is little bit old. I expected to add more mechanics but it is like the old one.The optimization is horrible. Graphics are meh. This game has a lot of walking. After the first half, you feels like you are in the walking simulator. But in the summary, this game is good for the other games.I liked this game. The story is very good.

    what you must do is lowering the following settings,
    - wait for shaders cashing to finish
    - shadows resolution
    - lower reflections resolution-
    - turn off real time reflections
    - use DLSS mode
    - your VRAM must have free space don’t fill it up with high settings

    This game had one of the worst PC releases of all time, but after months and countless of patches, it actually works well now. It's a shame that they released this game like that, but overall it is very good game and solid remake. It doesn't add anything new (some minor things), but it's just overall best version of this game and now on PC. It's great!

    I'm glad to see Sony is porting very good games to Pc and The Last of Us makes no exception. My Gtx 1070ti is able to run it FHD with a mix of med - max settings around 30-35 fps. No stutters at all. And they did an awesome remake, graphics quality is very high!

    I didn't have any crashes so far nor stuttering. I don't understand what other players are complaining about. My 8GB Vram Rtx 2080 is perfectly capable of running this game with most settings maxed out plus some ultra settings indeed. Graphics engine is demanding but the game is playable and stable. Gamplay is stellar and narration too. A must play for everyone. Sony you're number 1

    Excellent HDR support, impressive quantity of graphics settings (you will lose yourself, they're so many and there's high granularity), tons of options, very good controls. I'm enjoying it more than I did with Uncharted pc port which also was very good. Story is so good, settings are wonderfully reproduced. I have nothing more to add. Simply one of the best PC games of 2k23 so far

    I love the difficulty settings you can now customize it. You can make the enemy AI smart and aggressive, without turning your allies' AI completely dumb and useless. You can also have those settings without making it impossible to find items. People keep complaining about crashing I played the entire game without a crash. I did noticed bugs once I started playing Left Behind, the items you would collect would just randomly not be collected.    … Expand

    Well, we reached that wonderful moment for all gamers, when a great game - The Last of Us (in the Russian localization - One of Us) - made its way to the PC.

It took "only" 10 years for the game, having undergone a series of improvements and having passed the way from a game of "format 2013" to the version of the sample "Part I", reached the hands of PC-boyars on the most orthodox platform.
    It would seem that how can a seasoned player be surprised by a trivial plot format "journey in a post-apocalyptic world from point A to point B"? As it turns out, it can and how. The story told in "One of Us. Part I," although first told 10 years ago, is still capable of touching, surprising, giving hope and telling one of the best video game stories in 2023.
    The development of the relationships between the main characters is interesting to watch, the secondary characters are well-discovered and their story is interestingly presented. The visuals of the game in 2013 were pretty good even for 2023, but in the "Part I" version, after the introduction of modern graphics technology in general is fire.
    Separately, I want to draw attention to the concept of the "green apocalypse", when the nature begins to regain its previously lost ground on the ruins of human civilization - it's very aesthetic in itself, and the game is also very stylishly depicted.
    I also want to note the attention to the approach in the design of the locations - if you went into an abandoned apartment, the setting, the interior, the small details of design, etc. - Everything literally immerses you in the atmosphere of the game.
    Great game lore, which is conveyed through the dialogues of the characters, the environment around, notes, and the overall story - can not leave anyone indifferent.
    If you, like me, love a heartwarming story, well-described characters, post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and an interesting world, then I can congratulate you - this game will be a godsend.

    "You can't escape or hide from the past. It will catch up with you anyway, because it's part of you..." (с)

    PS: The game has been run with Intel® Core™ i9-10900F, 32Gb DDR4, GeForce RTX 4080 16GB VENTUS 3X OC, SSD, so I have no complaints about the optimization.    … Expand

    This game is a masterpiece, that's why I put it a 10. I don't have a PS5, and PC is the only way I can play The Last Of Us Part 1. Even though its optimization on PC is terrible, the story, gameplay and graphics on high settings are good. But I understand people who put 0, because company that ported this game on PC must be terminated for what they've done.

    But when the 4.0 patch came in, it became very stable to the point of being playable. Not super smooth but playable. I completed the game at that patch. "please wait" loading screen was there but not every minute. It showed up maybe once every hour. CPU did not reach 100% in this patch. Rather capped at 90%. It was good enough. Surprisingly I did not face any bugs in this game.
    Now about the game...
    Damn, the story is **** good. Like holy fk. Did not expect the story to crawl up like that. Did not see it coming. For the first few hours, I was not able to connect to the story. It felt like I was just shooting people without any context. But then something happened and I was hooked for good.
    The combat was really good. Really liked the stealth mechanic in this game. Crafting felt real and needed. Everything according to me felt AAA. I Enjoyed it. I hope people can get past this bad port optimization and enjoy this brilliant story of a Dad and daughter.    … Expand

    The game play though was getting old. When it was released on PS3 in 2013 it was ground breaking but now you see it can be done better. Now i want to have influence on the story but here the game fails. This could have been changed to make it more interesting.

    Stop whining and trust Sony / Naughty Dog to release more bug fixes as they always do. Blame yourself for buying a game before it is stable. For me it was stable enough and i care more for the game play than latest visual effects (i wouldn't play pixelized games though). I can only complain about the sound effects where i had only stereo on my 5.1 surround system.    … Expand

    I really enjoyed this title, had to wait a few patches but now runs great on my rig. So glad it got ported over, I couldnt justify buying a whole console for one game.

    This game is probably top 3 of the most beatiful game I have played on PC. The story and characters are great. The atmosphere is awsome. I love the game from the beginning to the end.

    The only thing is that this game require a monster of a computer, but if you have it you can enjoy this game as it should be.

My feeling is that the video settings is a bit too detailed and complicated, and most of all the presets are a bit overstated. Indeed it feels bad if you have a 3070 RTX laptop with 8gb where most of the games play well on high/ultra, but TLOU requires you to put tweak all down to medium to get a playable experience. And some details aside, it still looks and feels pretty good. I guess the optimization of all game should think more about running fluidly on mid-range machines than to get all the possible visual thrills at 4090.… Expand

I put a solid 9/10 points, one minus is, unfortunately, a bad start and a terrible port on the PC, if this is removed, then the game really deserves all ten cherished points. Thank you very much for this masterpiece and I am definitely looking forward to the second part on the PC platform, thanks again!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 8.5/10.

    First of all, I played in patch 1.10, and now it seems ok, I didn't see any major bug and my performance was ok on a RX 580, not great, not bad.

    The Last of Us is a linear game similar to Uncharted but the difference is here we are way more focused on stealth and survival aspects.

    Story 8.5/10 - The game setting is an apocalyptic pandemic world where a fungus pretty much transforms people into zombies that infect people by biting them. 60% of the world's population died because of that and the rest becomes assh0l3s to survive, it is like a free for all in an abandoned world.

    I like how the places we get through develop this world, we have many records telling what happened with the world, the letters of "survivors" and the places we go really show a true post-apocalyptic world with hundreds of broken empty buildings, hundreds of cars broken down and rusted, also there are many sprayed graffiti sayings things in houses front like: "stay away, I have a weapon and I'm gonna shot you".

    Now, the main story, we follow Joel, a smuggler that lost his daughter when the pandemic apocalyptic began. He works with his partner Tess. They receive work from the Fireflights, a militia group, to smuggle a girl, Ellie, that is immune to the virus.

    At first, Joel tries not to be attached to the girl, he even wants to give this job up, but his partner, Tess insists, then she is bitten by an infected and begs for him to go on with the job, saying that Ellie is the only hope for this sh1tty world.

    Throughout the journey, they are attacked many times and meet different people. I think each of them develops something, Bill (a crazy dude that lives all alone in an abandoned district) tells Joel that is better to give up and that he is gonna die if he tries to protect other people, interestingly, Bills survives.

    Then we meet Henry and his younger brother Sam (that looks like his son honestly), Sam is infected and Henry suicide, IMO they show how cruel this disease is and there is no hope for those infected.

    We meet Joel's brother that extended his hand to give them shelter, so they have an option, but they refused, following their idealistic thoughts instead.

    Ellie is kidnaped by cannibals and one of them, David wanna forgave her if she abandons Joel, but she refused and fight like hell against them. I think that encounter showed the loyalty of Ellie and her furious personality.

    In the end, after so many hardships Joel managed to deliver the girl to the Fireflights but when arrived there, they told him she needs to die to bring the cure for mankind but Joel refuses, slaughtering everyone in his way, and rescuing the girl, the girl that in the beginning he said he didn't care. Interestingly it seems everything was for nothing and that is discussed before.

    But although the whole journey for both characters was for nothing, which is kinda disappointing, it showed very well how this disturbed world works.

    Combat 9/10 - Honestly, I am kinda saturated of with these third-person shooters but here, I must admit the system in this game is very good, maybe the best I've played. I like how in this game the human enemies don't have any radar, so if they see you but you flee they lose sight of you. Also, you can pick up a bottle of brick and throw it into the enemies to stun them or in the ground to make noise, it is a very good system.

    The weapon's ammunition is limited and you can craft bombs, medkits and improvements to your melee weapon.

    Although I liked the combat against enemies' humans, I think sometimes it is kinda repetitive and it is just there to increase the gameplay time.

    But for me what definitely takes the cake is the combat against the infected. They are very fun to fight against because they are so different from other type of enemies. There are many types of these infected but the most interesting aspect is that they are blind and they locate you by the sound (and some with echo-location), so if you don't make noise you can pass through them, or you can throw a brick in the ground and everyone will group up to that sound.

    Also, there are dark parts where the clickers make a sound so creepy, it seems like in a horror movie.

    Gameplay 7/10 - when we not doing all of those things above, we are resolving some puzzles and collecting resources. I thank Naughty Dog for not doing such a bad puzzle-like in Uncharted 4. Here, the puzzles are ok.

    Overall, 8.5/10. Great game.    … Expand

    One of the greatest games of all time gets completely shat on with a LOT of fails, glitches, crashes, and general shenanigans. But if you have a good PC, it works the best. EDIT: Even with the best PCs, it is still a legit mess.

    The character's development is really impressive. The script uses all elements of cinema and gaming to reach its point.

I loved the dialog and was really into it. Feel so real that everything looks unclear - in a surprising way.

    The graphics are amazing. I was getting impressed almost every time, due to the art direction in the streets or the expressions. Water, grass, sky, and textures, and more aligned with the audio design, adding a lot to the atmosphere factor.

    The gameplay could be a little better since the dual sense controller's sensitivity was a little slow. But I liked the challenge overall since you must learn how to be stealthy to mitigate ammo.

    Anyway, I highly recommend it. But be aware. The PC port is not good right now. I did not consider it in that score, which would reduce it significantly.    … Expand

    There are two good things about remakes. You can play the game as you remembered it and you can introduce new generations to masterpieces and i think this release does both things really well. Graphics and physics are great, story is superb, ai and repetitiveness of fights later on are getting boring.

    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.
