Initially this was a heartbreaking crashfest, about a 50% chance the game would crash at any cutscene or reload. Eventually, luckily, hit upon the settings combo that was fairly stable. Still get occasional loading hangs though. My setup: i7 14700, RTX4070, 2560x1440 - don't use monitor exclusive, don't use DX12, run the exe as administrator with Windows 8 compatibility. Some people recommend turning off CPU cores, this didn't fix my big issues and caused regular graphical and music glitches that got worse the more cores I disabled. Once all that is sorted, the game is great. The main story feels much shorter than HR but the amount of actual game in there is probably more than HR. The side quests are pretty involved and there are always multiple ways to do a mission. For me it was more of the same fantastic stuff as HR - upgrading your favourite augs, creeping about, rifling through offices, crawling through ventilation ducts, ducking under cameras and quietly taking down guards. And all that happens in a grim, believable world not far from current events.
