These are the words of DF’s Alex and their review will be out today probably.
“I do not think it is reasonable to say this game is unportable - it was just not ported correctly. Late ports of other games which were console only do not have these issues. A gtx 1060 literally runs like the base ps4 in this game. This is just a terrible Port Job which can be evidence in other areas than performance: many features do not work, menu options do not work, settings do not work, etc. Everything is incompetent here and that probably applies to the usage of the PC APIs, memory Management, EVERYTHING. This game need more time to develop and more resoueces than what it got. It also probably need GG to work on it and not a secobdary Studio known for making unsatisfactory ports.
Like most things, this is a Management issue and priorities issue, not that it was such a unique and special snow fake ps4 Game. GG literally always had a PC version of their engine as they detailed to DF in 2017 - it needed updating and care to produce a viable PC version here and it was not given the proper update or care. / Alex”
