The narrative is complemented by a beautiful soundscape that evokes strong emotions, leaving players both satisfied and yearning for more.

    • “Maps are split about 50/50 between having and not having crippling optimization issues.”
    • “Maps are split about 50/50 between having crippling optimization issues and not.”
