The PC port of The Last of Us Part 1 is bad. But, the good news about hitting rock bottom, or close to it, is that you've got nowhere to go but up.
Four patches of varying sizes later, The Last of Us Part 1 is getting better on the PC.
The Last of Us Part 1 debuted on the PC on March 28 to 2,518 negative reviews compared to 1,263 Positive reviews on the digital games distribution platform, Steam. Now, as per the latest numbers from April 13, there are 55 positive reviews to 24 negative reviews.
Granted, The Last of Us Part 1 on the PC still isn't great, by any means. But, it's gotten better and it will continue to get a lot better based on how much effort Naughty Dog has put into it.
Unfortunately, this "improvement" could have all been avoided had Naughty Dog done their job in the first place. The Last of Us Part 1 reviewed well on the PlayStation 5 when it came out last year as it silenced doubts that Naughty Dog was simply in it for the money. More than half a year later, Naughty Dog dropped the ball, even after delaying the game's PC debut to guarantee that it's "in the best shape possible," saying that the extra time in development would make sure that the game "lives up to your, and our, standards.
