“The single worst PC port I have ever seen,” reads one review. “Waited 10 years for the game, avoiding any and all walkthrough videos, reviews, spoilers and etc. and this disgusting excuse of a port ruined every single ounce of excitement I had for the game.”

Several players in the Steam reviews and in theThe Last Of Us Reddit communityare reporting issues with shaders specifically, with the game taking a long time to build them at launch and crashing during the process.

Sony have released several PC ports over the past two years, including Horizon: Zero Dawn,Days Gone, God Of War andMarvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, with most of them launching in good condition.

The Last Of Us has a lot of new fans after the huge success of HBO’s television adaptation. Season one just wrapped up andit’s getting a second season.
