The value story

The value story

Its score puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. The nearest things to it, Darksiders III ($5.99, scores 47) and Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™ ($49.99, scores 59), are both worse buys on this math.

The game runs fine, don't have a problem with FPS. What I do have a problem with however, damaged is crazy scaled with this version and there doesn't seem to be a fix for it.

Its almost unplayable which sucks because its a beautiful remaster.
