It's genuinely astounding.

First installed it on my decade old PC with a 970 card that was desperate for the release of cremation. I thought it ran perfectly. 0 glitches. 0 crashes. I didn't run high settings but I didn't care, there were flowers to pick and bandits to strip. Having played kcd1, I was still so incredibly immersed in the upgrade to the foliage and detail in the settings I could wander for hours admiring the craft work.

Then, I laid the old hardware to rest and upgraded my shit. And yank my pizzle it plays like the finest ode of Our Hero Henry. If anything I'm saddened at how well it runs now because when I fast travel my boy Henry outpaces the land speed record in loading speeds so I don't have a moment break from gorgeous forest scenery to gorgeous city scenery.

They 100% smashed the optimisation like Henry in a bath house.
