£34 isn’t a bad price considering Starfield and D4 were closer to £70, my kids play as well so will get it for free via steam family share so works out at around £11 for each of us.

EARLY ACCESS REVIEW

RTX 3080 and can only get 50fps on LOW settings, this is in no way, shape or form a better game.

You bought it dude?

This isn’t me, just a vid I found on YouTube, waiting to see how it runs on a 3080 before I buy.

Not expecting full ultra settings but I’d be happy with 1440p 60+ fps on medium/high with upscaling.

Doesn't that mean you can't play together/at the same time?

You can if you play offline unless they’ve changed it.

It’s UE5 and as we’ve seen from pretty much every UE5 title so far it’s very demanding, especially since it uses both nanite and lumen.

UE5 + this particular developer doesn't inspire confidence that this won't be forever an unoptimised mess to be honest.

Should just add a toggle for nanite and lumen as while it looks good it’s just to performance heavy right now, even in Fortnite it kills fps.

If it was £38, or a £10/20 upgrade if you owned ALL of the DLC, then i think that might be a very generous gesture, but honestly i dont think its an unreasonable price for a standalone product. I suspect thats something thats too complicated to do though, might be possible on Steam but there needs to be parity on Xbox & Playstation too.

Considering the all the work that must have gone into bring it to UE5 I don’t mind paying £34 and I’ve already sunk 25 hours in so far, will probably get 1000+ hours out of it with all the DLC so very reasonable in an age when games are releasing for £70 a pop and have much less replay value.
