    I think this game is really great

    There are some definite cons: slow-walking cutscenes, unskippable dialogue lines in the cutscenes, so on and so forth. BUT I think the pros far outweigh those. The action is exciting and I really like killing those freakers! I haven't written a game review in a long time but I hope you know that these feelings are sincere.

    Thanks for sharing, Rorie! Been thinking about picking this up, actually. How'd it run for you (I don't recall what video card you're rockin')?

    I think I played it on a 3080 the entire time! The only shame is that it's a DX11 game so there's no RTX or DLSS or anything like that, but it still looks pretty good!

    Thanks for the review, Rorie! I have a 1080 Ti, do you think it will run fine with that or should I just play it on a PS5?

    I think this game is a much better experience on PC or a PS5 compared to a PS4. The 60 frames on those platforms makes the combat and driving feel so much smoother to me, I enjoyed it much more once I had that option.

    I am really struggling to remember if I tried it on my 1080ti before I upgraded my card and I'm not entirely sure that I did. I still had some framerate drops on my 3080 but that was at 3440x1440 and at the highest settings! But if you're at 1080p a 1080ti will probably work fine?

    I’m seeing a huge lull in releases for me over the next couple of months and they made it free for ps5 people so maybe I’ll finally check it out. You didn’t mind the main character too much? Wasn’t too off putting of a person?

    I'm glad you like it. It's good to hear, since I'm going through it and I've been enjoying it as well. Good to know it keeps up the quality, I could imagine another game losing stride 60% of the way through and just feeling "bleh". I really like stealth games where if stealth is broken, it's relatively easy to re-enter it, and this game does that really well. Lets you stay quiet or go loud without heavily punishing you as long as you have a plan. And that crossbow!* Mmmm!

    * With damage upgrade.
