‣ 9/10 – This game didn’t deserve such a brutal PC port.
‣ Thoughts: Nobody has asked for this game to be remade for PlayStation 5. Even when it was, this is still not the complete package with all the quirks part II has. But I am glad this exists, because it gives me a reason to replay such a classic. Sadly, the butter finger knob heads that ported this game to PC, took this title and smashed it into the glass riddled pavement, kicked it into the river and fed it to their dogs. This is a horrendous, disrespectful port.
As a remake, it’s nothing special. Yes, it looks fantastic and plays as smooth as it can gameplay wise. But selling this as a new triple A title is straight up a scam. Perhaps it is not that big of a deal for console players, but this is fundamentally a scam on PC. Even after patches and other fixes the game performs sluggishly, and no mid-tier computer can handle it. I even encountered some bugs that almost soft locked me from progressing and I had no way to fix it but just keep restarting the cutscene. It is hilarious how raw dogged this port is.
In any case, the game, its story, gameplay, characters are all fantastic and this is still my top 20 banger zombie game, but the port is a disservice and will forever stain the reputation of The Last of Us on PC. Shame, because this was a great chance for many new players to experience an absolute masterpiece and yet if you don’t own a high-end rig, you’re out.
