The Last of Us™ Part I

A title that saw 3 generations of Playstation, The Last of us really made a name for itself. This is easily among the best works of Naughty Dog, and among the top Ps Exclusives. The story of TLOU is the core, it's so memorable, gripping, emotional and impactful. The pacing is so good, the cinematics are top notch. They really succeeded in making a Post apocalyptic world beautifully without any flaws. That being said, it graphically is outstanding and well detailed. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3512767178 The main characters are peak af. They are very inspirational and they felt so real, the portrayal of fatherhood in this game hits hard more than anything. Might be one of the best I've seen in fiction, phenomenal acting from the duo and all the cast tbh. There were many good moments.., moments of laughter, tension, sadness, hope, relief. Gameplay is really good, it might feel a bit stiff at first but eventually it becomes easier. Stealth is amazing and satisfying, also tried aggressive approach which is more fun imo. The weapon selection is good and resource spawn is well balanced. It felt more immersive respective to the world. The details in this game is something I wouldn't miss out to mention, even the tiniest among them. The recoil of a gun, healing effect, upgrading weapons, blood and dirt display on characters, etc... The notes and writings found across the world stands out, they were in unique handwritings and were interesting infos regarding to that current world scenario. The game itself let's you to read it as it is rather than pop up the info into graphical display, the npc's during the journey keeps exploring the world, interacts and helps us during combat. Instead of just standing still all the time like a statue waiting for us to pull all the strings, these all really contributed towards the immersion as well. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3514848812 The Last of Us Part 1 is one hell of a journey, a journey that isn't completed yet. For me TLOU Part 1 is 100% one among the greats i've ever played, and i have no doubt it's going to be the same case with Part 2. I can't wait myself to get my hands on that one. If you are on the fence i'd say just go for it, the experience is so unmissable...

a masterpiece with well written characters and a really good history, is impossible not feel empathy with Joel in this game, you just ended in love with this person regardless his past. Tlou2 will never be as good as this game.

One of the best narratives in gaming history that I can't recommend in good faith until the devs get their shit together and optimize the game

There are some games that make you feel more than words can say. That’s when NSSTR happens. Not Sufficient Space To Review 100/100

⭐ Score: 9.5 / 10 – A Masterpiece Reborn > “The Last of Us Part I delivers a breathtakingly emotional experience with refined visuals, unforgettable storytelling, and world-class audio design — all wrapped in one of the most powerful remakes ever crafted.” The Last of Us Part I isn't just a simple remaster — it's a full-blown remake that rebuilds every corner of Naughty Dog’s 2013 classic with stunning fidelity. On PC, it shines (after patches), running smoothly with crisp visuals and customizable settings. The environments feel more alive, character animations more nuanced, and every tense firefight carries more weight thanks to improved lighting and audio immersion. But it’s not just about looks — it’s about the journey. Joel and Ellie’s emotional bond is told with such authenticity that it transcends gaming. The performances, the pacing, the heartbreaking choices — it all hits harder than ever. This isn’t just a post-apocalyptic survival game. It’s a human story about love, loss, and the lengths we go for those we care about. The combat remains sharp, combining stealth, resource management, and brutal encounters. The AI is smarter, and enemy behavior feels more reactive. Even if you've played the original, this version demands a replay just to soak in the technical upgrades and emotional punch. Sure, the lack of exclusive fullscreen and initial optimization issues might be setbacks, but after updates, the experience is stable and polished. Verdict: > The Last of Us Part I on PC is a near-perfect retelling of a genre-defining classic. Whether you're a newcomer or a returning fan, this remake reaffirms why this story is considered one of the greatest in gaming history.

i dont recommend the game on steam deck as the audio is bad it crackles which take lotta of immersion i in looking for solution just go on loop

Проходил на PS3, перепроходил ремастер на PS4, прошел новую версию на ПК. Все еще одна из любимых игр, в которую приятно возвращаться. Это простая история с очень качественным повествованием, и, что самое важное — цепляющими героями, которым не нужно много времени на раскрытие, чтобы им можно было сопереживать. Если уже играли в подобные игры раньше, рекомендую попробовать пройти на сложности «Реализм», получилось испытать много новых эмоций от боев.

The Last of Us is a story rich game in which you go on an adventure of a lifetime. Filled with emotional moments, beautiful scenery, unforgettable characters, touching music, and realistic interactions. Including clever dialouge here and there. The combats could either go smoothly or get under your skin, unless Ellie's puns get to you first. The enemies varies from humans to infected, and you can deal with them in several ways. Depending on which difficulty level you play on, ammo is generally easy to find, as well as items scattered around for you to collect to modify your weapons. On a personal note: I played this game years ago on PS4, and had to buy it again here on Steam, as this is one of my favorite games of all time. I cannot begin to express how much this game means to me, and playing it again after all these years felt just as fresh as the first time.

Amazing game and story and not just that Graphics are amazing too 10/10

It's a Masterpiece. Ez 10/10. Loved the game, every moment was cinematic, thrilling and also engaing. One of the Best Game i have played soo far.

by far the worst optimized game i've ever played on pc. constant crashes, screen artifacting, cutscene glitches and much more. also many annoying things that are impossible to turn off, for example the game messing with the lights on my mouse and keyboard causing them to flash and blink constantly. the game keeps opening on my second monitor and when i use alt+enter to drag it over to my first one it just disappears and i have to reopen the game. i have to unplug my monitor entirely to get it to launch on the correct one. no amount of playing with settings has fixed this. and yet i still buy this garbage because there is no other option on pc. game is great, i love the story, but 80 dollars for this is criminal.

Good Story Rich game with a best stealth hand to hand combat and gun fights

amazing writing and good gameplay (higher difficulties are peak). DLC was kinda mid though, and the deluxe edition is not worth it at all

Simply a masterpiece through and through, amazing story telling & captures the apocalyptic scenery and the creatures of the world so well. Played it on release back on the PS3, been a treat and a pleasure to be taken back to experience it in its full modernised glory.

What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said a million times before? There's a reason it's a classic, and that so many like myself have wanted to return to the world of The Last of Us time and again. The characters, first and foremost, are intriguing—whether or not you relate or even agree with them, they're charismatic. It's clear a lot of care was put into this game, into its world and narrative, which you feel as you play. It's linear, slow-paced and methodical in a lot of ways. This isn't Call of Duty but a sort of slow burn; it feels a lot like an interactive movie than a game. Cutscenes and cinematics often outnumber gameplay segments, and it feels like you're more of a captive audience than a participant at times, but the universe is so well crafted that it somehow doesn't matter. I would recommend TLoU to anyone because it's a beautiful story, with likeable characters that feel real by the end of the game. My only complaint is the fact that it feels like it ends too soon, which is why I periodically return to experience it all over again. Not many games make me feel like this, or give me this sense of nostalgia, which makes this a game I'll recommend to anyone.

Currently would not recommend. Game consistently crashes I'd say at least every half hour or so. End up having to restart entire sections that I've already cleared before. Ran diagnostics on my PC. GPU drivers are up to date, CPU and GPU temps are fine, no issues with memory. It's just becoming really annoying.

I just got to the capitol building. I've already discerned that this is a 10. It's art. I love when games are actually good. I hope everybody who worked on it gets all the praise and love they deserve. Never played it before. Really glad it's on PC. I like all my games in one place. Play

Still to this day, The GREATEST Video Game I have ever played. Everything about the game is Pure Perfection.

Visually and storywise its the best game ever made. I find it very hard to believe that the original came out over 10 years ago and now this looks so freaking good and plays so well on PC

best game ive played truly an experience you can play over and over again

One of the finest gaming experiences I've ever had. The story, the graphics, the music, the characters, and the gameplay are cream of the crop. A 'must own.' Period.

This game crashes sometimes during fight scenes. I read a forum and it said my GPU was the issue, anyone else heard of this? I have an RTX 3070 and NVIDIA's website itself admitted to causing crashes in TLOU 1 in 2023. I assume they just never fixed it because it doesn't happen with other games.

Having never played this game, I have always wanted too but never had a playstation after ps2. So I bought this game while it was on sale recently and this game is amazing like I've always heard it was. 10/10 glad I bought it, now onward to part 2.

Recommended for amazing characters and some good story moments. [b]Overall - 8.5/10 Gameplay- 7/10* Story - 9/10 Graphics/Optimisation- 8/10 Characters- 9/10 [/b] *subject to change, as based on easier difficulty playthrough. [h3] About my review- [/h3] I haven't been able get into any new games or complete them last couple years or so. So it was good how this game pulled me in. I always wanted to play Last of Us or witness the story at least, but recently the show not doing that well solidified my decision to get the game. My playthrough started on hard difficulty, permadeath (per chapter) and that was quite challenging but equally immersive and satisfying. (Played for 10 hours) At the same time, after having stressful weekdays, I just couldn't bring myself to stress myself while playing. So I played instead on Light difficulty (second easiest)- 15 hours. That did make it too easy and hence I missed out on some gameplay aspects. So, the review is incomplete, gameplay likely has more score than I have given. Yet to play DLC as well. [h3] Gameplay- [/h3] This is less of a shooter and more of a survival game. The aim itself as sway by default and can be eliminated as you progress/level up. +Especially on higher difficulties the emphasis is on resource management and going stealth route to save it. I do quite like this style of gameplay so enjoyed that. -On the other hand resources are scattered across corners of the maps, so it is quite some work having to go through each possible part of the map. That felt like a mixed bag to me as even that way you may end up missing it. -Even on hard difficulty (have not checked hardest), the enemy ai was very slow to detect the player, that broke the immersion for me. -Just being fan of action heavy games like Doom Eternal, the gameplay left me wanting. This would be subjective take though. Will update if/once I try the higher difficulty thouroughly. [h3] Story- [/h3] I had pretty much known about it having watched Youtube playthroughs a decade ago. So for me first half felt okay, near the end though there is one additional chracter/story which caught me off guard and I loved it. The emotional impression that left was quite significant, I did ended up getting quite attached to the characters and hence the whole last 10-20% was quite enjoyable. I really wish I had gotten more time with the characters, more side quest stuff, dialogues etc. Just shows how great job they have done! [h3] Graphics/Optimization- [/h3] Since it is not an action heavy game, played with controller, one can turn down the framerate and that helps in performance. I played bit of the game on 4K TV at 30 fps (low/medium settings, performance DLSS) and did not feel anything was lacking. I did not face any crashes/stuttering. Game looks pretty even at lower settings. Would likely be revisiting the game and would be updating the review in that case. Would also be taking my sweet time waiting to start part 2 (hopefully get it on discount).

Couldn’t Even Play 10% – Constant Crashes! I was really looking forward to playing this game, The game crashes from the point where I exit the church window in The Graveyard Chapter, but I couldn’t even get through 10% of it. It crashes constantly, making it literally unplayable. I’ve tried everything nothing works. It’s extremely frustrating and disappointing. Fix these stability issues before putting it out there. Right now, it’s just a waste of time and data. 👎 I want a refund because this is not what I paid for.

this game has the best graphics and best storytelling i ever played! responsive and fun gameplay! its a masterpice of gaming industry 10/10

One of the best games ever made. Incredible story and amazing graphics for the remastered version

I can’t express enough how much I love The Last of Us Part I. From the very beginning, the game completely hooked me not just with its gripping story, but with the way it constantly keeps me guessing. Just when I think I know what’s going to happen, it takes a turn I never saw coming. That unpredictability makes every moment feel intense and real. What truly stands out, though, is the character development. Watching Joel and Ellie grow both individually and in their relationship is one of the most emotional and powerful journeys I’ve experienced in a game. They feel like real people with real struggles, and that connection just pulls you in deeper. The atmosphere is another thing I can’t get enough of. It constantly shifts in tones sometimes haunting and quiet, other times chaotic and tense. The changing environments and mood always match the story perfectly, and it keeps you on edge in the best way possible. And honestly, the more I play it, the better it gets. Every replay reveals new details I hadn’t noticed before, and the emotional weight of the story somehow hits even harder the second or third time around. It’s not just a game it’s an experience I never get tired of.

I have played the last of us part 1 and part 2 on PS5, disc versions. BOTH were amazing, and both gave me heart attacks on some scenes, on your second play through (what I am doing right now) it gets much easier when you know what to expect and when to be scared and when to chill. I need the last of us part 3, because these games are perfect. The story is amazing and its so amazing that you will want to play the game to the end and even replay it multiple times, even if its scary; you will wanna finish it because its good.

Super fun to play, great graphics, and one of the best stories I have ever experienced in a game. Add it to your wishlist, but wait for a good discount.

I launched the game, and it was a slideshow, about 0.5 FPS, while the CPU usage was 100%. I could not even get through the first launch setup screens. I tried Alt+F4 and relaunching about 3 times, still the same. Even rebooted my machine. After launching the game again for like the 4th time - this is after 30 minutes of game time - finally it greeted me with the main menu with the window scene (without me even finishing the first launch setup wizard). At this point, the game decided to run mostly fine, but because of the shader compilation, the audio was crackling and there were constant small stutters. Finally, after 75 minutes of game time, the game finally finished compiling shaders. The game was now running fine, without stutters or crackling audio. At this point, with less than 1 hour left from the 2-hour refund window, and me not even having started the story yet, I decided that I won't be risking going over it and then being unable to get a refund if I found any other problem with it, e.g. crashing. The game in this state is not worth even 30 euros. Better play it on PS4 or PS5.

I am 15+ hours in - and its already a masterpiece game for me! wow - playing this in full VR on Quest 3 with Luke Ross mod is just an experience to be lived ! The post-apocaliptic world-build and variety of game play is just 10/10.

first single player story game that made me want to not play multiplayer games with my real friends

Just completed all the achievements... Such an amazing and breathtaking game...

Pure Gold for people that love singleplayer Games and Amazing storys 10/10

Last of Us Part I is one of the greatest games ever made. BUT Last of Us Part II is the worst game ever made.

Game is amazing but the performance is still garbage. Playing on a 4070 ti super i7 9700K and 16 gigs of RAM and the game has crashed like 5x all in longer playing sessions.

It's the 12th anniversary, and I realized I hadn't reviewed Part 1 until now. Truth be told, I had a great time with it and really enjoyed my playthrough. Sadly, I cannot in good conscience give this a thumbs up due to the fact Part 2 exists and butchered the narrative in a million ways. :/

I was super immersed in the game, the story was one of the best I have ever played, but the pc port is kinda laggy. So... good game, bad pc port. Over the years they have been fixing most of the bugs, so playing it now, it's really not that bad at all so yea, awesome game would recommend

Second play through first was on ps4 a few years ago and now on pc and it is still my favorite game that naughty dog has created. And love that they added in game "cheats" for all the annoying stuff.

This was definitely worth playing and I loved everything about this game. Good stealth mechanics, good archery mechanics but auto lock, when turned on or at automatic lock on could be better (crosshair goes everywhere, and sometimes you miss the shot). Gameplay 9/10, Visuals 7/10 (Graphics settings if played at lower, game was too blurry), Story 9/10, Character Development 10/10, Story immersion 10/10, Audio (+fight scene+emotional) 10/10...

This has all the elements of what makes a great game, 10/10. My one regret: I should never have watched the fucking show first.

Even with increased windows virtual memory, the game still crashes every three seconds, including on the main menu. The amount of VRAM this game requires is INSANE. I've tried every fix I can. I have a beefy system, but I find it more worth it to purchase a playstation and buy the game again than to play it on steam. I love this game, and I really recommend it, but on console only. The crashes make it unbearable and ruin a phenomenal game.

The Last of Us part 1 on pc is not a game I enjoyed playing. the game is full of crashes and bugs and all sorts of technical issues that make this game hard to play, you may question my computer but the second game runs great which only leaves me more confused. As for the story I find it very overrated. This exact plot has been done in Telltales's The Walking Dead and without dragging it'self out. As for the gameplay I find that even by the original release's time it was very outdated, doesn't help that the game strips control from the player every 5 minutes to force you to watch a cutscene (some things could've been an email) and lastly the game starves you for ammo and gives you some very weird guns with makes shooting just very annoying, the game has good acting but that can't carry a game for me. 6.5/10 (Only buy if on sale)

I watched the series and then I wanted to play this game but man ... it is so annoying and unfair. Don't get me wrong, I love difficult games but this is more than that - this is unfair. I shot 5 soldiers, they all had guns and what happened afterwards? They did not drop any ammo or gun - WTF?! It's okay to be difficult, but don't be more difficult than reality would be.

loved this game ever since it first come out in 2013, its just got better with the new graphics

Bought the game on sale because it's ridiculous to pay full price for a 11 year old game but it is worth every single cent Beautiful graphics and the most beautiful story, the characters are captivating and the game is extremely immersive Playing on controller is easy and intuitive

I will try to persevere. I really hope this game gets better. Weapon choice is abysmal, aiming and gunplay are really bad. Gameplay is very repetitive and quite boring, though I do not like stealth games. Really hoping there is more to this game than sneaking around choking people, because so far, I have 5 hours of sneaking around choking people.

I finally played The Last of Us Part I, and all I can say is—it’s an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, I felt like I was part of a high-end cinematic masterpiece. The game blends powerful storytelling, incredible voice acting, and film-quality direction in a way that few games ever achieve.

Its sooo good but I just dont know what to say about it, just get it if u like story games and imo dont worry if u have a budget gpu like me cuz you still can run the game at high graphics with some tweaks to the settings of course.
