    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.

    Second: I let the shader load finish before starting it, which a lot of people didn't.
    That said, the situation today is quite different, the game has received several fixes and currently has no problems. I give it a 9 only because Part 2 exists which as far as I'm concerned is superior in everything. If you haven't played it, get it back, whether it's ps5 or pc, The last of us part 1 is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Yeah, that game was horrible when it came out on PC. It is good now though. For me The Last of Us is one of the best games ever made, and is amazing to see it on my favourite platform.

    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

    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 refunded when I first bought a few months ago. I bought again a couple days back and so far it plays fine, the June patch seems to have worked great. Shader cache didn't take as long as I thought it would. Graphics are beautiful and it plays smoothly on my system, only jitters during loading screens or sections which is normal.

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

Surprisingly I did not face any bugs in this 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.

    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.
