    Don’t let new games hype you! Play the actually released, proven, Good games - Undertale, Ori and the Blind Forest, TOTK, God of War, The Last of Us, It Takes Two.

    There’s a wealth of available, old, discount games! Don’t roll the dice on new shit

      At the same time I hear you but still I feel like it’s still not acceptable to release half done or poorly optimized products and hope that they’ll be done over time. For those who pay for the product it’s almost an insult.

        I absolutely agree, but so long as it remains profitable developers will do it. Skip a whole lot of QC, rush to release the game, then use the launch to gather bug reports and fix those. Costs saved not hiring a ton of QC testers, get a return on the investment much sooner, get early players to pay to be QC testers basically. It’s a tried and tested formula now and it will keep happening until too many people won’t pre-order games.

      You’re not wrong. On the other hand, i would prefer mediocre game from Paradox over every single one of those that you listed solely on base of genre.

      What is the OP about on? Cities Skylines 2? It have better reviews now that the first wave of negbomb passes. Also i wouldn’t even take those under consideration, paradox forum crowd have long and established tradition of negbombing on steam for petty reasons.

          Maybe it was during the initial “generating textures” phase when you first launch it, but it should definitely not be lagging at the menu.

          I’m on a 2080 S + 9700k and the game runs pretty decently, small city and it averages maybe 45fps with most settings on high at 1440p, run over 70 fps if I turn down the settings a bit, but I like the graphics and I can live with lower FPS on a city builder game.
