Nice review I love to see the just bring all your cards knock down drag out sort of review. :) Even if the card I bought isn't dominating the charts. It falls in line with what I spent! ;)
 
Thanks for the write up! I got lucky and had a code for this game with my new laptop. Ironically I haven't had a chance to play it on it yet but I did fire it up on the 4090/OLED rig last night and yeah, it's beautiful. I don't know when I'll get around to playing this but I'm looking forward to it.
 
I've been playing this on the laptop, 4080 SUPER, and 4090 for the last few weeks and have very much enjoyed the visuals. The laptop at 2500x1600, and 4080 SUPER at 4K, perform very similarly with max settings but also using DLSS w/ framegen. The lag is noticeable with framegen but otherwise I'd say it is very well implemented.

The best experience is, of course, with the 4090 at 4K. There are moments I can turn off frame gen for 60+ FPS but I've left it on for the mostly 90-115+ FPS.

Visually speaking, I've really enjoyed the look of this game as I did briefly live in the backwoods of the Northwest (Aberdeen WA in the mid 80s, which looked a lot like most of this game). HDR is also well used.

I've enjoyed it the most out of the various Wake/Control franchise games I've played but it's getting a bit depressing and I've got enough things to bring me down these days so I'm going to drop it and switch over to something else, probably Baldurs Gate 3 since I could use a decent fantasy RPG to get lost into for a bit.
