It’s a real shame that one of the most anticipated video games for PC for many years has come out in such a sorry state (and this is coming from someone who has played the game eight times). We speak, indeed, of The Last of Us Part I, remake of the original PlayStation 3 game that now comes to PC and was released for PlayStation 5 in September 2022.
The reviews from players who have purchased the game on Steam couldn’t be clearer: of the nearly 6,000 ratings in 24 hours, only 33% are positive. In fact, the rating of the port on Steam is, at the moment, “mostly negative”. Bearing in mind that we are talking about one of the most awarded videogames in the history of the sector, and the result of the success of the HBO series, one can imagine that these ratings are based on the technical aspect.
In a few words, the game does not stop giving technical errors as soon as it is installed. Specifically, the shaders are the ones that are giving more problems, to the point that it crashes the game and closes it, not to mention optimization failures in all areas, frozen camera movements (stuttering), textures not loaded correctly, etc. . All this happens, moreover, with equipment that have very good components, as can be seen in the Steam reviews.
As expected, from Naughty Dog have already come to the step of these comments and have asked for “apologies” in a public way. They are aware of the problems with the PC port and are working to fix them.
On the other hand, they emphasize that anyone who suffers from bugs or errors can send a complaint ticket through this website.
