What players say

81% of 71,982 reviews are positive · 95% of 1,301 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the story, Joel and Ellie’s relationship, the post-apocalyptic atmosphere, and the visuals. The main complaint is unstable PC performance, including crashes, stuttering, freezes, high VRAM demands, and memory-related issues; some players also find the stealth, combat, and puzzle loop repetitive.
