Contrary to the "most helpful" review on this site currently, the game is DRM-free, and I can say that with some certainty. It runs well for as good as this game looks, even running on a Steam Deck on low settings. It works on Linux via Heroic Games Launcher with no fuss. And if you were bothered by the tedium that came along with the first game, the quest design and game feel have been improved immensely. There's still more room for them to improve on the formula in their next game, but I was absolutely hooked on this game for about 90 hours, most of that being side quests.
