50-60 fps very high (preset) graphics on Nez Perce Valley (first map)

So far that I've seen: There are large areas to hunt and I've enjoyed exploring them on foot.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

It has an excellent way of pacing the story: It's there whenever you feel like picking it up and so far that I've seen, revolves around doing specific hunting tasks that you're likely to want to do already; Mixed with some special events and it gradually unlocks things or would show you how to do things if you're new like me.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The one thing I like about Way of the Hunter is that the difficulty is very customizable.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And FINALLY the best point of the game is the weapons, the feeling the you have shooting.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you use NVIDIA card, buying Way of the Hunter 1 now (-80%) is better bang for buck than 2 since you can use Smooth-Motion for extra fps.
