The saddest part about this game isn't the cutscenes. It's finishing the game and knowing you'll never play it for the first time ever again.

For ALL the people having problems with The Last of Us Crashing at 10% during the Building Shaders process there is only 1 FIX for this and I have verified it 3 times just to be sure.
Also if you turn off the Enable Shader Pre-caching option under Steam/Setttings/Downloads that WILL NOT work either.
The New Nvidia Drivers 555.85 RELEASED ON 5/21/2024 and 555.99 RELEASED ON 6/4/2024 both of these Driver Versions will CRASH THE SHADER COMPILATION PROCESS Which in turn will CRASH The Last Of Us rendering it Unplayable.
If you use either of the 2 Versions of Nvidia Drivers listed above you will get an error message after Launching The Last Of Us during the Shader Compilation at 10% that states:
"You don't have enough Vram or Ram to play this Game at its Current Settings and then the Game will Crash.
I have VERIFIED this with Both Versions of the Drivers listed above.
Nobody likes to rollback Drivers but for the game to work again I can and have Verified that if you want to Play the game with NO PROBLEMS you must Rollback your drivers to 552.44 RELEASED on 5/9/2024.
I always like to have all my drivers up to date but if It's going to break a Game especially a Sony Title then that's a Driver I DO NOT WANT. I hope this helps somebody out there looking to Fix or Play The Last of Us until Nvidia Addresses the Situation.
I have sent Feedback to Nvidia through Gforce Feedback but Don't know if that will do any good until they decide it's of enough Importance to them to Deal with It.

Really, really good game. Despite having a rough launch on PC, nearly all problems were fixed. But besides that, the game itself is an absolute 10/10, please try this game out if you haven't already!!

The grounded mode is as realistic as possible. It's only at this difficulty level that you realize just how much bricks and bottles can do.

The Last of Us Part 1 is not only visually stunning, but also emotionally captivating. From the very first moment, it grips your heart and doesn't let go. Joel and Ellie's bond really shows the strength found in vulnerability and trust. The Last of Us beautifully explores the themes of loss, survival and hope in a broken world.
The emotional depth, stunning visuals, and immersive gameplay create an experience that is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. This game isn’t just about survival; it’s about the connections that make life worth living. Truly one of the most moving experiences in gaming.
It's a must play for fans of story-driven games (that like to get their hearts ripped out) ♡

Picture this: you’re Joel, a grumpy dad-figure in a world overrun by fungus zombies. And you’re hauling Ellie, the world's most sarcastic teenager, across the ruined U.S. Why? Because this isn't just another "pew-pew, zombies!" game — oh no. The Last of Us is like a masterclass in emotional trauma, but make it interactive. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll question why you spent 60 bucks to feel this sad.
When it launched on PC, the game’s real villain was the frame rate. The optimization was so rough, Joel didn’t need a baseball bat; he needed tech support. Crashes? Check. Glitches? Double-check. At one point, Ellie’s face did things that were scarier than any Clicker. But luckily, they patched it up! Now it’s deep, emotional, and actually playable — no more GPU meltdowns.
So get ready to bond with Joel, shed a tear, and maybe question your life choices. The Last of Us Part I on PC: a tale of survival, redemption, and a launch that was almost as rough as the apocalypse itself.

Just finished my first ever playthrough of this absolute f*****g masterpiece.
Jesus Christ, I need a cigarette and a hug. One of those games where it ends and you just kind of sit and stare into the ether for a few minutes while the credits play in the background. I'm looking forward to NG+ with director's commentary eventually, but I think I need to take a week away from Joel to collect my thoughts lol.
Besides the fact that the story crushed my soul with as much efficiency as Joel crushes skulls with blunt objects, it was also a blast to play due to game systems and mechanics that still stand out in 2024 (which I was not expecting from a narrative driven PS exclusive). The stealth gameplay is so well done, the enemy AI is so fun to play against, the gunplay is fantastic. Not to mention that it's one of my the best looking games I've played on my OLED.
I'm glad I waited for this to be released on PC and for the bugs to get worked out because it's, without a doubt one of the best games I've ever played. Gonna have to sit with it for a few days but I'm not sure how many games I can say I enjoyed more than this one. Perfect game.
