Stutter can be fixed, crap story and gameplay can't. Awaits dead space remake.

Refund approved from Steam. Woop. Now playing NFS Unbound. Which is actually quite good.

Poor old Chris Kamara.My feelings at the moment:
John Linneman gave the PS5 version a pretty glowing review (it appears to have been the lead platform) - XBSX not so much (worse performance, visual bugs and no RT reflections) - Alex Battaglia said the PC version is broken and not to buy it.

I enjoyed it when it wasnt stuttering to be fair, it was pretty much what I expected from a Dead Space-alike so was happy with it overall. If they can just fix the stuttering then I wont refund it, so I will give them a little time to do that
Apparently it's not just the shader compilation stutter that's an issue - there's some (presumably fixable) visual bugs on the PC that the PS5 doesn't have, also it's heavily CPU-bound and apparently mostly single-threaded (which accounts for the terrible performance) - it needs a lot of work to bring it on par with the PS5 version.
Here's a link to the PC analysis part of the DF review:

I don't know why people are disappointed or surprised, writing was on the wall the whole time:
- denuvo announced last minute
- reviews not allowed till launch day
- stutter shown in videos leading up to it
- the animations etc. already being planned for paid content (the whole reasoning of "these haven't been cut from the game" is just bs, they have just worded it this way to stop people from being mad, reality is they would have decided this during the game creation)

Was able to watch skill ups review earlier during work, and was dreading the result, and then coming home to massive negative reviews, such a dissapointment was looking forward to it

Wow, glad I cancelled my pre order for this..... the price being relatively low was a bit of a red flag to me.

Will try it out on pc but looks like I will be refunding and ordering the ps5 version.
Not sure if anyone has tried this ?

Switching to DX11 is not enough. There is one additional step that is needed :: The Callisto Protocol General Discussions
Open config file: %localappdata%\Local\CallistoProtocol\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Engine.ini Add this at the end of the file: [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
There's a lot of placebo 'fixes' being mooted because once the engine's compiled the shaders, the stutter (for that section of the game) goes away.

Wait what I thought it was kammy at first but it ain't it's the guy from the American office
That does seem to be the general consensus - but hey - Steam has a great refund policy - if you really want to check it out then just don't play it for more than two hours if you want a refund.

Mad how much this must have cost to make and its turns out like this ...
Sadly yes
