I've been seeing a lot of complains about FPS drops and "badly optimized". Personally, I've only ♥♥♥♥♥♥ FPS drops fighting the first boss in the open world. The drops were very noticeable but nothing I couldn't live through. To me this was not much of an issue as I didn't even meet this boss until later on, but I can see why some people would pretty much start the game and be met with these FPS drops and be disappointed. Other than that, only in the open world have I ever ♥♥♥♥♥♥ any FPS drops, and it's not very often. If you want my rig info look at the end of this review.

The game so far is massive, gorgeous, and challenging. It's everything I was expecting and more.

My only complaints so far are not the FPS drops but:

1.- The fact that you can completely miss meeting an NPC if you go trough another route (the NPC will literally disappear, never to be seen again).

2.- From all the boss drops and "rare" items I've found, the only item that was actually useful for my class, I got from killing an NPC that you're not supposed to kill. I'm not entirely sure I'll ever find a better staff.

My rig is a Ryzen 3600, RTX 3060ti, and 32GB of ram.

Edited with 79 hours in: This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. I'm still not doing with my first playthrough.
