    Medium Graphics

Additional Information

Frame rate was between 25 and 35 with the medium preset (at 1440p -- I have a 4K monitor) and a bit higher with the low preset. It was above 30 FPS most of the time. The game froze on me twice and needed to be force closed. I turned depth of field all the way down and that appears to have fixed it.

    Maximum Graphics

Additional Information

It played well most of the time but certain parts the frame dropped low and it caused dialog to stutter. Dropping the resolution down to 1080p or using lower graphic settings would probably fix that.
