The game is as compelling as ever, and this is an interesting opportunity to compare it with the TV show, but at launch this is one of the worst PC ports from any major publisher in a long while.

The Last of Us Part 1 comes to PC with a disastrous optimization and performance problems, evident especially in more modest equipment and with graphics of previous generations (and Steam Deck). In these cases, I would wait to see how it evolves. With a cucumber equipped with one of the latest graphics, you will enjoy a superior visual spectacle.

An impressively gorgeous remake of a bonafide masterpiece. Just don't expect that hefty price tag to bring much more than cosmetic feeling changes to this emotional narrative.

A completely pointless remake of one of the best games of the last decade, except with only half the content and at double the price.

The Last of Us is still a masterpiece, and the PS5 remake looks truly "next gen". There are some gameplay improvements and new game modes, but it is not enough to buy the game for the third time if we already played the original and the PS4 remaster.

The Last of Us Part 1 is the definitive way to experience the original story and Left Behind. However, it’s hard to recommend it over the PS4 remaster.

Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part I keeps all the original's emotive magic while adding a big dollop of modern visual wizardry. Read on.

If you can fling yourself over the price hurdle, The Last of Us Part 1 is absolutely the best version of the single-player game.

With a hefty price tag and less content than its more than acceptable PS4 counterpart, The Last of Us Part 1 is an entirely unnecessary remake with gorgeous graphics that only make its dated gameplay stick out even more.

The Last of Us is (and always was) a masterpiece and Part I is unquestionably the best version of it yet, but that may not be enough for anyone hoping for a complete reinvention of the formula from the ground up. Part I adds just enough to warrant its remake for the latest hardware, which elevates it to the same level of The Last of Us Part II in smart design choices, flexibility and technical prowess even if it’s still the third time we’ve made this journey before. If Naughty Dog’s original PS3 version was the critically acclaimed theatrical release, then Part I is the Criterion 4K remaster complete with commentary and behind-the-scenes footage.

$70 is a steep mountain to climb. But, if you want to play the very best version of one of the greatest games that has ever been made, then The Last Of Us Part 1 is a triumph.

Naughty Dog have worked wonders to bring their PS3 classic into the PS5 era but the £70 price tag could well put off players

Realistically, patches that are coming for the game may continue to make The Last of Us on PC even better. If the patches can improve the playability then the port will become akin to its console predecessors and contemporaries. However, for now, the crashes, visual bugs, texture glitches, and stuttering is not something that can be ignored. Until then, if you’re a first-time The Last of Us player and you’re looking for a seamless and non-buggy experience on PC, it may be better to wait for patches to truly get the best out of this incredible story and game.

The Last of Us Part I is a masterpiece of gameplay with a story worthy of Hollywood. Definitely the best transposition of Joel and Ellie's adventures, with some technical inconveniences on day one that are being quickly resolved.

As The Last of Us finds its way to the Playstation 5, the graphics have been given a loving complete renovation. Otherwise, much is the same as before, although a number of minor improvements do a lot for the experience. There are still elements that gossip that the game's roots stem from old technology, but there's nothing stopping The Last of Us: Part 1 from touching, intimidating, and engaging as much now as it was then.
