60 of 281 · most liked firstI started The Last of Us thinking this was a zombie game. It isn’t. It’s a game about loss, guilt, and pretending you’re fine while the world quietly collapses. I opened a door, picked up some supplies, and somehow ended up questioning my morals. Clickers aren’t the real threat — attachment is. Joel doesn’t save the world. He barely saves himself. And Ellie? She turns sarcasm into armor and hope into a dangerous habit. Combat is slow, heavy, uncomfortable. Every bullet feels expensive. Every…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Back in June 2013 when the game originally released I was 12 years old, I didn't own a PlayStation so the only way I got to enjoy this game was by watching people play it on YouTube. Today it is July 8th 2026, a little after 2AM. It is my 26th birthday and I have finally played through this masterpiece. I've enjoyed it and I felt like I was back in 2013 seeing this game on YouTube for the first time. To say this game is a masterpiece would be to sell it short.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m usually the type of guy who stays in the shadows and never posts anything online, but this time I simply can’t move on without rating this game. Back in 2013, when I saw the massive hype surrounding The Last of Us, I was frustrated that I didn’t own a PS3. I ended up spoiling a lot of the experience for myself by watching playthroughs and let’s plays. As a PC-only gamer, I always dreamed of a proper PC port. Years passed, and when I heard that The Last of Us was finally coming to PC, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An action-adventure game that tells a story of survival in a post-apocalyptic world I’ll start by saying that in my review I won’t be comparing the game to its pre-remastered version; I’ll focus solely on the part I’ve played! ✅For me, the biggest strength of this game and the reason I simply love games like this is the relationship between the main characters, Joel and Ellie. As the story unfolds, they gradually build their bond through conversations, shared experiences and small everyday…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is the last of us. no part 1. no part 2. this game is the only the last of us. before neil cuckman ruined it with his weird kinks
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it for the gameplay. Stayed for Joel and Ellie. Left emotionally damaged. 10/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Real people. Not video game characters. Had me in tears more times that I would like to admit. A master piece.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I honestly can’t believe how they managed to make a game with such limited gameplay, yet do everything else so perfectly that it went down in history. This is my fifth completion on PC after playing it first on PlayStation. Truly one of the greatest games of all time. 10/10.

unlabelledView post →People always say the apocalypse brings out the worst in humanity. I disagree. It brings out the truth. That's why I love this game. The world ends, governments collapse, cities rot away, and suddenly everyone stops pretending they're civilized. Funny how quickly morals disappear when there isn't anyone left to applaud them. The infected are fantastic. Clickers. Runners. Bloaters. Loud. Violent. Predictable. It's the humans that keep my attention. Every survivor has a reason why…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let us be clear The Last of Us Part I is not a "fun" game. It is, nevertheless, a stunningly, heart, wrenching, emotionally, shattering interactive experience that will, in the very order, make you cuddle your dear ones and go take a shower. It's the video game equivalent of seeing a flawless, five, star, Oscar, winning movie in which the family dog dies in the second act. It is the story of Joel, a grumpy smuggler with the emotional depth of a brick, and Ellie, a teenage girl who curses like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally played The Last of Us Part I and I completely understand why people love it so much. Amazing story, incredible atmosphere, and characters that actually feel human. I enjoyed every minute of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Last of Us isn't just a game its art but they shows us how to destroy art... Play the game, 40 minutes later, crash crash crash crash crash
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw nothing technical to complain about, so let's cut to the chase. I'd play it for the contemplative music and apocalyptic set pieces alone, so naturalistic yet with a pinch of stylisation. Naughty Dog used technological advancements to breathe life into both characters and action. They couldn't have conveyed their vision fully without such an intricate facial animation and nuances. Hell, spit flies out Bill's mouth when he angrily reprimands Joel! Now, that's a great fusion of tech and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Last of Us isn’t just a game. It’s an emotional masterpiece, a story that breaks your heart into pieces only to carefully stitch it back together – just to break it again. 💔 The story of Joel and Ellie is unforgettable. From the very beginning, it pulls you into a post-apocalyptic world that’s broken, yet still full of small traces of humanity. Every dialogue, every glance, and every moment of silence carries meaning. You feel the characters grow, change, and form a deep bond that…

unlabelledView post →The Last of Us Part I is an unforgettable experience built on a powerful and emotional story. It follows a broken father who, after losing his daughter, finds himself protecting someone just as precious. Every step of the journey feels intense and personal. You don’t just play the game, you feel it. The bond between the characters grows naturally, making every decision heavier than the last. It’s a story about love, sacrifice, and choosing one life over the fate of humanity. The emotions hit…

unlabelledView post →It's one of the best games ever made, truly. The story, the characters, the world - its just like a brilliant movie. What Naughty Dog and Niel Drunkman did to this game's story in the second part should be considered a crime. My only complaint would be shader rendering which takes AGES in this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely a 10/10 game. Great gameplay, characters, story, atmosphere, everything, I played it on ps3 and ps4, and now on pc, And i've never gotten bored of it my favorite game of all time. And ♥♥♥♥ part 2

unlabelledView post →Some experiences are so masterfully crafted that they transcend their own medium. Thirteen years ago, as a broke teenager craving the industry's newest post-apocalyptic obsession, I settled for YouTube Let's Plays to fill the void. Over the years, that coping mechanism crystallised into a devout annual tradition: treating the game not as an interactive playground, but as an eleven-hour film. For thirteen long years, voluntarily have I chosen the spectator’s seat over the controller – such is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An outstanding game, does the apocalypse really well. Joel and Ellie are a great protagonist duo their chemistry is strong and holds the game together, the story is amazing and the combat is really good. Some tense segments with the infected, and the game takes you on a unforgettable journey. Survival and resource management is fair and doesn't feel like it leans in either too much loot or too little but just the right amount where you're holding onto bits of ammo and resources to get by.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have waited a long time before getting this game, mainly because the reviews say the port to pc is awful. I now had the courage to buy the game, expecting my rig to be able to handle it, and to say that it is badly optimized is... an understatement. Im gonna give it a couple more tries, but god help us this game is TERRIBLY optimized. I have always been a huge fan of the TLOU franchise, which is why im willing to let it take a dump on me, but if i was a person picking up the game for the…

unlabelledView post →如果你在考虑《The Last of Us Remastered》值不值得玩——简短的答案是：值得，但你需要先了解这是一种什么样的游戏体验。 这并不是一款传统的动作游戏，也不是以“好玩”为核心的作品。它首先是一款以剧情为主导的游戏——氛围黑暗、情感深刻，而且非常真实。如果你喜欢优秀的故事、立体的角色，以及能让人沉浸其中的氛围，这款游戏很可能会打动你。 不过，你也需要做好准备：它的玩法相对简单，而且有些地方已经显得有点过时。潜行和战斗系统是够用的，但不要期待很高的深度或多样性。有时候节奏会比较慢，甚至略显重复——考虑到游戏的年代，这也是正常的。 最好的游玩方式是放慢节奏。多探索环境，听角色之间的对话，阅读你找到的笔记。很多剧情的细节都隐藏在这些小地方里。 适合人群： — 喜欢剧情驱动游戏的玩家 — 喜欢电影式体验的玩家 — 能接受慢节奏的人 可能不太适合： — 想要快节奏动作体验的玩家 — 更看重玩法深度和多样性的玩家 — 不喜欢线性游戏的人 总的来说，这是一款即使不完美也会让人难以忘怀的游戏。如果你想知道为什么它被称为经典之作——那就亲自试试吧。 If you're…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Visually breathtaking with phenomenal mechanics and a fantastic story. A must play masterpiece.100/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game. It's like Metal Gear Solid + Resident Evil. The visuals and story are insane
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't even play it an hour and it crashed twice. I have a 4070Ti and a 7800x3d and it kept stuttering. I lowered the graphics quite a bit and finally got a consistent 50 FPS but it didn't help with crashing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought a game about zombies, left with emotional damage. I thought I knew what was coming because the internet has talked about this game for years. Didn't matter. The characters feel so real that by the end I just sat there staring at the credits wondering why I do this to myself. Gameplay is solid, the atmosphere is incredible, and the performances carry every single scene. It's one of those games you wish you could experience for the first time again... even though you know it's going to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The connection between Joel and Ellie is what makes this game for me. It's bleak and heavy the whole way through, but the human side of it never gets lost. The writing feels real and the quiet moments hit harder than the action bits. Not many games manage to feel this sincere. Definitely worth playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Last of Us is more than a game built around its theme — it’s a masterclass in storytelling. Going in, I honestly wasn’t sure this game would be for me. The theme made me hesitate, and I assumed it might not click. I ended up taking a gamble when it went on sale, thinking I’d just boot it up briefly to see what it was like. Before I knew it, I was almost 10 hours in. What surprised me most is how naturally the game pulls you into its world. The pacing, atmosphere, and character moments…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Masterpiece. I really love how The Last of Us Part I Remake makes the characters to show their emotions so clearly through their facial expressions, which makes me feel even more immersed in the story.

unlabelledView post →-Solid game experience. -The longest 'compiling shader' session ever, it took me more than 30 minutes to finish it entirely. -Mirrors only work in the prologue. -Aiming without stability upgrades feels pretty immersive. -Seamless transition between game levels, but sometimes the whole game would freeze for a few seconds. -Highest FOV setting still feels weird. -When you move backwards while looking at the front, your character will actually move backwards. In many third person games the…

It delivers a mix of emotional storytelling, authentic gameplay, and unforgettable characters. Story and characters The heart of the game is the relationship between Joel and Ellie.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have gotten this game on sale. I have played years ago on ps4. The PC version right now runs great with many settings and all the options we need. I would recommend it to firends. The story aged well imo. 9/10 story game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game! Highly recommended for anyone who loves heavy story games and wants an emotional punch in the face. The cure wouldn't have worked
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Revisiting this masterpiece for the second time, I still find myself unable to judge if Joel made the right choice. I can barely stand the look in Ellie's eyes during that final moment. The only thing I know for sure is that Joel loved her with all his heart, just like a daughter. Love is always blind and selfish, but I don't blame him. No father could ever endure the heartbreak of losing his child twice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To anyone buying this game and trying to avoid spoilers like I am, this game is truly mentality hard to play, If you have played GTA V or Red Dead Redemption 2 like I have thinking you've played the most mature games around and you can handle this, you're wrong. This game contains more upsetting things within the first 10 minutes of game play, than any rockstar game. This game is insanely well made and thought out, with fun, yet gore oriented gunplay. Proceed with caution and enjoy. Oh and btw…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Last of Us Part I is a powerful, emotionally driven game about loss, guilt, and human connection in a collapsing world. With tense, engaging gameplay and unforgettable characters like Joel and Ellie, it explores how attachment can be more dangerous than any infected. A true masterpiece—and one of the greatest games of all time—you’ll only wish you could experience it for the first time again.

unlabelledView post →I'm really glad I finally had the chance to play the game I had heard so much about ever since it came out. I completely understand now why so many people love Ellie and Joel. As a father who has lost a daughter, I felt every painful moment Joel experienced, and I fully embraced his absolute need to protect Ellie at all costs. This isn't a new feeling for me in gaming either. I felt it with Elizabeth in BioShock Infinite, I felt it with the Little Sisters in BioShock and BioShock 2, and I'm…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played through this game on a PS3 back in 2013. As amazing as it was then, I always thought it was a shame it hadn't come out on PC because it's full potential was limited by the platform's hardware. I've always been kind of salty about it. 13 years later, I finally decided to get this game on Steam. And you know what, as upset I might've been that this hadn't come out on PC sooner, it's actually great that it has come out on Steam when it has. We how have hardware to do real-time ray…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Masterpiece. Update: I do wish it had a bit more open-world exploration or side quests,as the experience is mostly linear.Still an incredible game overall.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Last of Us - Absolutely deserves all the love and recognition it's received over the years. This was my first time playing the game after watching the series, both of which are excellent. A scary, not so empty world full of demons and human stories. The Last of Us has become one of my favorite games, and I'm so happy it was published on Steam. My first playthough was not negatively impacted by watching the series first, and I fully believe it can be enjoyed in either order. This is a game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Introduction Wanting to play the games back to back since it's been YEARS since I've touched these games, I decided to buy both Last of Us games on PC and this is my first time revisiting the game in over 8 years. Positives The Last of Us Part 1 is an action-adventure game, set in Post-Apocalyptic America as a virus strikes the country down, turning humans into zombies (this is the simplest way to put it). The main focus is fungi, as a specific fungus known as Cordyceps becomes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The biggest reason I'm giving this a negative review is the poor optimization. Even though optimization has improved since launch, I'd argue this game still takes way too much VRAM and compute resources to run even at lower settings and with AI upscaling. I would only really recommend this for systems that have more than 8GB of VRAM. At 8GB, most configurations require a lot of cuts to be made to even run. For instance, the "normal" texture streaming rate is atrocious, requiring at least "Fast"…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An easy 9/10 To think this game released 13 years ago is INSANE. The world is beautifully crafted, the characters are real and the story is great. Ellie and Joel are some of the most raw characters in video games. A true masterpiece of story telling / character plots. The combat / gore / animations are more satisfying than most games ever made. The attention to detail is what makes this game so special. My only complaint is there's a little too much 'puzzle' filler (ladders, dumpsters & water…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The world has been flooded by a strange fungus that turns people into aggressive monsters within hours. It is transmitted by a bite, and within a few days it spreads throughout the world and causes the collapse of civilization as we know it. So much for the classic zombie plot. You play as Joel, a bitter, life-tested man who has been robbed of any shred of empathy by the pandemic. By coincidence, he is tasked with escorting a teenager, Ellie, to safety, and he reluctantly accepts. That's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great game, but it clearly shouldn't be on PC as there are way too many unresolved game crashes. A little online research shows this has been a known issue since at least 2025. Download at your own risk.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Verdict ✅ Strongly Recommended A masterpiece that everyone should play at least once. My history with the game I finished The Last of Us Part I on Steam in 16.7 hours, including the story DLC Left Behind. This game is my #8 game of all time out of the 100 best games I have ever played. It is also one of those games I know I will always be happy to return to. My history with The Last of Us started back in summer 2013, shortly after the original game released. At that time, I had an…
