Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
i love this game but a couple of things i don't like are the random lag spikes, and the fact that i cant find where to change the device that the audio outputs from. one other thing its from the new HUD is that i don't know how tired i am. everything else is so much fun and interesting to the point where it's not super boring. i've had this game for more than a year an i feel like it's finally time to write a review.
