“I honestly can’t express how much I love TLOU. It’s easily one of my all time favorite games, and I’m so happy to finally have it in my Steam collection! The experience is just incredible, from the emotional…”
“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…”

“This game is broken on PC, its nice like the look of it but got graphics issues and script issues and sometimes crashes or the game freezes for 50 sec but audio still running like in combat with the infected and…”
“Excellent narrative-focused end-of-the-world game. Imagine Cormac McCarthy wrote a zombie film, that's the vibe. Looks great, runs well, gameplay is fun and the story is genuinely good. (Can't speak for the sequel, but…”
“The Last of Us is one of my favorite game. I really love this. I like soundtracks, gameplay. But most of all I like plot and characters. It's story not about superheroes but about just people. Joel and Ellie trying…”

“I've only got 2.9 hours on the pc version, but I've beaten it twice on PS5. Legitimately one of the greatest story games of all time, the characters feel so real, the environment is amazing, the atmosphere is beyond…”

“Наверное самая интересная для меня игра Naughty Dog. В ней мне нравится наверное всё, кроме довольно спорного геймплея, но о нём чуть позже. Наверное лучшее, что есть в The Last of Us, так это визуал. Картинка и антураж…”
“It's alright. Playstation slop gameplay, can be tense sometimes. High fidelity is always cool to play in though. Story is massively overrated, but still good. Telltale's The Walking Dead Seasons 1/2 are so much better.…”

“It's gorgeous. While I have some gripes with the controls, the game still sets itself apart as a masterpiece. Go play it ^-^”

“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”
— a player, Steam review · 43 hrs played“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.…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“This is a great game, but it is 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.”
