The game is good, a lot of people had or keep having knee jerk reactions to some issues like the MTX, or the performance, however the things in the store are a scam, everything can be earned in-game. Performance wise, there's a lot of things you can do to troubleshoot and fix your performance, I went through the trouble of doing so and I'm now running the game on ultra at a steady 80 fps, ray tracing on and effects. Only turned down the shadows and I think the tree details. However, the performance of the game out the gate should not be like this and it's unacceptable. Hopefully whenever they remove Denuvo down the line, performance increases significantly, along with further improvements and updates. I haven't even finished the game yet at all, but I am having a blast. It's been a really, really long time for me when I got lost in an open world setting and explored while fully enjoying the journey, and this game has achieved that for me. Hopefully people do give this game another shot because the game is a gem. The first game was phenomenal, and I believe this one is too. I was taken aback by the performance issue, but was determined to power through it and giving the game a shot and can safely say, this is my personal GOTY.
