Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However the graphics are very nicely done and performance is highly optimised (got about 135 fps maxed out on 1080p resolution on a 3070 ti) apart from some mild stutters, most likely due to shader compilation
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design seemed good to me (again, the demo is very short) but the music, without being bad, again does not correspond to the atmosphere, seems anachronistic.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I ran this at 1080p 60FPS at the highest DLSS settings without any frame drops or stuttering.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This Demo is very well optimized and it showed some potential about this game.Can't say much because it's around 20 minutes of walking around but I really cross my fingers that it will be a great game on its release,"Alone in the Dark" deserve a come back and PC gaming deserve more well optimized and enjoyable games in this terrible period.
