Recommended system requirements are pretty low. I guess that's good news for everyone eh?

I agree...I think a good system is going to be the best experience.

Even if you have a system with recommended requirements, you are likely to have issues with the performance. In order to get a great experience playing this game, you should have a pretty powerful system with something upgraded than these recommended setting.

Oh that's for sure because now we have the game and it ran on my old Ryzen 7 2700x with a RTX 2080 @ 2560 x 1440 144hz reasonable well but it had low frame rates once in a while that were really aggravating. Once I built a new rig with the Ryzen 5600x & a RTX 3090 all my problems went away.

Yup, I beat the game twice on my old build i7 7700K + 3090 and it was a fairly fun and smooth experience overall. Playing now on the new build and the minimums are certainly higher, but the averages are around the same. Mostly GPU limited, but 3090 overcomes that barrier pretty well.
