Overall, the optimization of the game varies significantly among users. While some praise its impressive performance and ability to run smoothly on various hardware, others report issues such as crashes, inconsistent performance, and significant drops in frame rates due to intrusive DRM and engine limitations. The demo serves as a useful tool for testing system compatibility, but the optimization experience can be inconsistent, particularly on lower-end systems.
- “A pretty impressive demo, I must confess. I rarely play demos, but I wanted to see if my PC would run it well, and yes, it's a very optimized game. At least in the demo version, it didn't freeze at any point.”
- “Incredibly well optimized for my PC, excellent way to see if your game runs on your PC before considering buying.”
- “This game is so optimized and runs on anything at 60 fps with great graphics. Also, the game is easy to understand and go through and has a nice dark vibe to it.”
- “They have been caught with their pants down adding an intrusive DRM to a 10-year-old game, which kills modding, cheating in single-player mode, and reduces gaming performance by 10-20 fps.”
- “I can't get the game to go into fullscreen without crashing and locking up my computer, and performance is significantly worse in borderless window.”
- “I could forgive all that if the performance wasn't abysmal; I constantly have pauses of up to 10 seconds, killing any enthusiasm for this game, so glad I didn't buy the full game.”
