The Last of Us' PC port is bad, but the bugs are great

pcgamer.com:

The PC port of The Last of Us Part 1 is not good(opens in new tab). In fact, it's bad. We're talking shader-plague bad, random-crashes bad, all-the-Steam-reviews-are-real-angry bad. It's a shambolic situation for a marquee Sony game and yet another in a long line of exhaustingly shitty PC ports(opens in new tab). 

But hear me out, what if it's also a little bit good? Because I've been scanning through some of the clips and screenshots people are sharing online, and I think TLOU PC might be one of the finest works of absurd comedy of our era. I mean, look at this:

It makes the entire game look like it's taking place in 50°C heat, thereby turning it into an example of climate fiction(opens in new tab).

People are sharing all sorts of other bugs out there (like the fact that Tess can levitate(opens in new tab), an underexplored aspect of her character in the PS5 version) in The Last
