I'm having a lot of fun with this game. It also looks amazing and runs very well. I'm maxing out all settings with 2x MSAA at 2048 x 1152 resolution and I maintain 60fps. It's a well-made game in general.
When is it releasing on console's?
Beyond being a surprisingly good game with engaging exploration and puzzles, it's also remarkable for a few other reasons:
1. It's quite simply one of the best looking games I have ever played, yet it was only made by a small development studio. This further proves that "indie games" can definitely compete with the big AAA titles in terms of visuals and quality gameplay.
2. This game represents among the best bang for your performance buck. What I mean is that it is very well optimized and runs extremely well for how good it looks. Most of the games that look near this good don't run this good.
3. It proves that photogrammetry is the real deal. Many of the assets in the game were created by taking very high quality photographs of real life objects and processing them in a special way that allows them to be used to texture the game world. It looks amazing.
