The Last of Us PC Is Naughty Dog's Worst Ever Reviewed Game by Some Margin | Push Square
Naughty Dog deserves a standing ovation for somehow managing to cock up the PC port of one of the greatest games ever made. The developer – a symbol of consistency for many years – has dished up one of the most disastrous releases in recent memory with The Last of Us: Part I, and all on the back of a ridiculously successful transmedia push as well.
Currently, the conversion is rocking a 56 critics score on Metacritic, making it the Californian developer’s worst reviewed game in modern history. In fact, it’s so bad that it’s a full 20 (!!!) points less than the studio’s next lowest reviewed game, Jak X: Combat Racing on PS2. (Which was pretty good, by the way!)
