In conclusion, The Last of Us Part 1 on PC is a problematic port that shouldn’t have been released in this state. The game isn’t optimized in the slightest, and struggles to run on some of the most powerful hardware on the market. The load times are horrendous, and with several reports of frequent crashing and texture glitches – The Last of Us Part 1’s PC version should be altogether avoided as of now. While Naughty Dog has promised that patches and hotfixes are incoming, the current state of the game is simply unacceptable.
It would seem that Iron Galaxy Studios which released pc games last year without any of these problems would have figured out the porting process by now, but that’s far from the case. All of this paints a really depressing picture for The Last of Us Part 1 on PC, where a masterpiece has been buried under a thick veneer of technical issues. For now, we can only hope that the game gets fixed soon enough – and fans get to experience what they paid for.
