It was a really cool experience, but I kept waiting for the sun to come up or something. It was clearly night and nothing in the game looked like it does in the screenshots.
Only after completing it I realized something in the graphics settings was screwing up. It seems that only changing the Overall Quality button changes things and when that is set to medium or low it looks "ok", otherwise I get something like the picture below.
I mean it's still cool and moody, but I don't think it's the intended experience even if I enjoyed it 😅
My graphics card is a Radeon RX 5700 in case that means anything. I don't remember seeing similar bugs in other games on this machine.
Ah interesting. Yeah, I know there's a big discrepancy in visuals between medium and higher settings. I think this is due to Unreal 5 and all the new lighting/raytracing features that are toggled between those settings. I probably won't use UE5 for my next project since the minimum specs seem rather high and it's a bit unwieldy/untested.
Glad you had an interesting experience regardless, thanks for checking it out.
