    With no steam release I’m taking the same route. Love looking at remedy games, don’t enjoy playing them.

    I wish I could play it, but I don’t think my PC could handle it, being right at the edge of minimum specs. Has anyone played it on a 2060? I can live with 1080p and no Ray Tracing but I’m scared of sub-30 FPS.

      it is ok on a 2060. the high minimum spec is not because of performance, but because older GPUs do not support mesh shaders. that is why it runs ok on a 2060 while being unplayable on the much faster 1080 Ti

      From what I’ve read it runs just fine on min spec. They made them very conservative.

        Forgot to mention I have a gaming laptop. So not equivalent of the 2060 in performance, although it contains the mesh shader support so it won’t literally refuse to run. But seeing as the desktop variant is minimum spec I’m not optimistic.

      Yeah that’s the thing for me too, I’ll just buy it on sale in a few years, trying to not watch gameplays of games I’m interested in to not break it for me, made that mistake before with Horizon Zero Dawn, watched gameplays, read whole wiki of lore being sure it won’t be available in PC, few months later PC version was announced, bought it on a sale about year later, still had a lot of fun though

    Anyone have a recommendation for a good let’s play of this? Anytime I’m thinking about watching a let’s play I never know who to pick.

      MKIceandFire on YouTube. All they do are lets-plays with no commentary most of the bullshit cut out.

      I’ve been watching and enjoying Jesse Cox (on his CoxClips youtube) play it. He knows a lot about the universe lore and does some explaining for people who may not be as familiar. Someone related to the game also mailed him some ARG stuff related to the game before it came out and he did a few videos on his jessecox channel for it.

        Cox also isn’t obnoxious. He was part of the TotalBiscuit John Bain group that were fairly sensible and quiet channels.

      I think Welonz is great. She’s played Alan Wake 1, Control and the AWE DLC before so is well familiar with the story and always pays close attention to story games.

      I’ve been hesitant to buy it out of performance concerns and have been watching her instead.

    “Musical” mission was worth suffering through all those jump scares for me - I’m not a horror fan, but decided to force myself a bit and I must say - it’s really good.
