Upon further research, it appears that my CPU is a bit underpowered (i5 9300H @ 2.4 GH)...
Feels weird, cause I can run plenty of other 3D games just fine.
The low specs update that was just released got me a bit further, but as soon as the characters went outside, it crashed.
I hope they're able to further optimize the game, i'd love to play it as opposed to watching someone else play it.
