Performance is gross, everything on low with FSR on the lowest (effectively rendering at 854x480 btw...) runs between 30-50fps with a 1070ti/5800X3D combo, not a great system but no slouch by any means what's the point of low settings in games anymore? UE5 is going to kill this hobby unless we all spend 5000 dollars on a PC every 3 years at this rate. Even my mate on a 4090 is complaining about performance, that's when you know something is wrong. Had a few crashes so far and having to compile shaders every single time I open the game is just unacceptable. if you're okay with this you're the problem as well, complacency in regards to game optimization is negligence and someone should be fired for releasing the game in such a state. "le epic jank game" is such a bad take for putting up with yet another Unreal Engine 5 slopfest and people saying it need to get real.
nagging me about cloud saves being unable to sync becausde of self imposed storage limitations for a first party game when it used to work fine, then a pop-up to review the game right after, lol okay he's your review :)
My god the dialogue was putting me to sleep then I realized this was the game, hearing teenagers complain and moan about nothing for a solid 20 minutes is not a good way to start my exploration into this world and that's where I put an end to it. With a plethora of visual novels and interactive story's, like Firewatch that I played a few hours before this, this game would be at the very bottom of recommendation pile... if I would even recommend it. Bottom line is if your game's mechanic to progress is the writing of the characters then it has to grip me and take me on a journey. It has to be something that makes me want to spend time with them and care about them. And if the one and only thing that gets presented to you is something that makes me want to turn off the game then you failed, hard.
