A fantastic game for gameplay purists and fans of fun movement systems, pick this up ASAP if you want something fresh but not convoluted.

High octane movement/skill based FPS that rewards moment to moment decision making and mechanical skill.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
for sure one of the more fun games I've played in a bit. visually one of the best looking games I've played to date. like sure its not hyper-realistic with 8k ultra HD path-traced graphics, but the stylization and "landscapes" are so beautiful.
