It's heat

The most criminally underrated game of our time.

I hate this game

Got a Quest back in May and used VD to play this. Astounding introduction to VR. It's very easy to lose yourself in the game and there really wasn't any point in which I grew bored. The combat is pretty simple yet never stops being a blast to even just reload your weapons. Hard to explain how great it feels to be in the Half-Life Universe when playing this game but lemme tell you I really hope they do something like this again.

A clear contender for game of the year. One of the finest pieces of graphical capability and technical fidelity within the millenia. A truly awe inspiring experience for anyone wishing for more from their game, and then some. This game will be spoken of for years to come, to highlight the peak of humanity's performance and the sacrifices made to create this next piece of Art History.

Before I get into the review, let me say that I love the game, but what the devs did is unforgivable.

I'm not giving this game a positive review to show the devs I don't support these kinds of ports. It's sloppy and lazy.
Let me go by naming a few:

-Capped 30FPS (of course I had to say it)
-Really low quality textures
-Objects clip into eachother
-The view distance is tiny
-The environment in general seems blurry
-Floating bottles
-1080p is blatantly an upscaled 720p (which is the main cause of many of these problems)
-Stuttering framerate
-When the game launches, it doesn't close the launcher, forcing me to go into task manager and close it because it plays music

This is unnacceptable. This shouldn't become the norm for Triple A PC Releases. This is abhorrent and ridiculous. Hangar 13, I know this is your first major game (I could be wrong), but that doesn't mean you can do this to your PC community. You know damn well that a huge amount of PC Players can run this game so much better than you're forcing the entire community to play it at. Fix it, and fix it quick. Once the patch comes out, I'll edit my review depending on what happens.

EDIT: Now that the game has been patched, the game runs better now, but it's noticably poorly optimized. Even with the low quality textures the game has, it only gets like 57 fps. It's ridiculous. Also, the only other thing they changed was the keymapping. There's still no ability to change graphical settings. You can still only change post processing. Still not recommending.

EDIT 2: After playing for over 10 hours, I think I have a rough idea of what this game is. I thought this was going to be a successor to Mafia 2, but looking back at things, Mafia 2 is eons better. This game is watered down with the same rinse and repeat missions. The main story missions are few and far between, since you have to gain control over an entire territory to unlock it. It's frustrating and makes this game burn out fast. This game should have been worked on longer. They should have added more main missions rather than the side missions you're forced to do.

EDIT 3: Well, I beat the game. Can't say I feel accomplished. Story was alright, but way too overrated. I have no interest in playing afterwards. I feel like I wasted my money and I'm never getting it back. Devs released another patch that fixes blurry upscaled resolution, but it did nothing. I'm done with this game, and I'm not buying another game from Hangar 13; they can kiss my ass.

God this game is boring. Loved Human Revolution, but Jesus christ, this one is dull.
