This game looks spectacular, unparalleled artistic vision and environmental storytelling. The story itself is dark and compelling, with lots of dramatic moments and great acting. I think that witnessing the duo's character arcs was the highlight of the game for me. Backed by the excellent cutscene direction and emotional score

One thing I never really understood though, is why humans don't just take over the world again. There are no threats, the infected are nowhere to be found on the surface, there are no monsters or mutants. Animals are casually strolling through the environment, unbothered and perfect for hunting. You can just walk around, visit museums, pet giraffes and monkeys or ride horses or loot everything - and it's perfectly safe. You never see hordes of infected, or some kind of unstoppable supernatural force, there seems to be no risk involved in exploring the world (that's especially true for rural areas). Even when you intentionally venture into deep dark holes, there's barely a handful of zombies that a little girl can kill all by herself. Now imagine if you had 100 heavily armed men who knew what they were doing. I don't know if that was a narrative failure or just restrictive game design logic, but to me it felt like the infection was absolutely no threat at all. Humans are the only bad guys in this world, perhaps that's exactly why the game is called The Last of Us

All that aside, I really enjoyed my time with TLOU1. Definitely avoid the "Deluxe Edition" as it's just a waste of money on completely useless stuff. Just like everything else in the "Extras" section of any Naughty Dog title. The game is also long enough for you to become the ultimate survivor but doesn't overstay its welcome where you find yourself sick of this world. The gameplay is solid and extremely polished, nothing is accidental or sloppy, no hair strand out of place. Everything works perfectly, no crashes, no bugs, no clipping, (only bad performance). There are a million animations for everything, zero loading screens once you're in, tons of secrets and mesmerizing post-apocalyptic environments to get lost in

Very good game, althought otimization is lacking.
Expect FPS drops.

Never seen such an idiot game that do not start for memory / video driver when i got 16 GB and a GeForce GTX1060 ... Ive played this game on PS and was beautiful. PC version is not worth. Don't buy it
