It certainly would need a patch, but there is none at the time of testing (mid Feb. 2025)
Completed the main story and completed some side content. However, we just couldn’t continue any further once completed.
The game suffers from horrendous screen tearing in almost all locations indoors and outdoors.
The FPS drop consistently well below 15 fps (captured and examined). This seems to have no real reason as it also occurs in less expansive, less open areas. It does seem the longer you play the more the screen tearing and FPS drops occur.
The game actually skips frames as well. It continues but you won’t see it, the next frame will show you in a different position.
Closing and restarting the game gets rid of these issues temporarily, but after an hour or two it starts all over again.
There is an almost game-breaking bug in the second dungeon on a small ledge. You have to climb this ledge to weigh down a pressure plate. However, death will pull up to climb onto the ledge but will glide along the edge and drop back to the floor below. It took us at least 20 attempts to finally pull up correctly. Once we finished the puzzle we tried to climb this ledge again and were unsuccessful and couldn’t get back on to it a second time. At the very least, this will cost you some time to get past.
Stick with the PS4 version if you have it, as this release is a mess.
