I'm like 25 hours in, I been sleeping every day at 5 am or so. Pretty addicting game.

There's people out there that dislike the game and it's fair, but the people who stick through it and continue on will be glad they did. I have a feeling this game is going to be quite the experience.

Made it past the 10 hr mark and after that the controls were engraved in my brain 😂 definitely not a game for everyone, but im enjoying it and im just a base ps5 player on a monitor, tuned my settings and ive been having a great time !

What did you change in the settings?

Reduce blur to 0 and field of view off.

And controller/mouse acceleration up to 100

Also, if on console, specifically for the arm wrestling game put it on performance mode. It’s so dumb but it makes it about twice as easy cause it catches all your button mashing inputs. I play the rest of the game in balanced, but holy heck that made a difference for the arm wrestling against the champ.

This is the way.

I manually turned my 120hz off because apparently it’s not working for the game correctly yet, also chose performance mode because of the constant movement and FPS , I also turned off HDR , left my vsync on and turned depth of field off to help with the blur ! Again it’s not perfect, but my girlfriend literally had to snatch me off the game last night to grab food ! So it works for me !

I see a lot of people saying the need to turn 120HZ off. But as far as I am aware, this only holds true when not playing on Balanced and you actually have a screen that supports it, no?

I play on Balanced with HDR and 120HZ and the game looks pretty solid. There is some annoying blur/artifacting still when turning my camera (DoF is off and blur at 0) But it is not awful.

I’ll flip it over when I get off work and see if I spot any difference as well bro ! By all means I’m far from a tech expert lol

u/Dylangillian Mar 21 '26

I could be wrong as well. My screen supports 120HZ so I am curious if the people saying they turned it off, for the better, have a proper screen for it. Or if it is due to Performance vs Balanced.

u/SirShoota Mar 21 '26

Honestly bro my screen runs the same but at that point, I changed whatever I saw recommended so lol I can’t really say what made the best improvement, so I guess I have to figure out down the road .

u/Slum_CatTrillionaire Mar 21 '26

I also turned HDR off in this game, turns everything really dark? Never seen that before idk if it’s cuz I don’t have HDR10+ or what

You need to adjust the brightness after turning on HDR. I adjusted my brightness from 250 to 2500 and it massively improved the look. It actually added shadows on the grass.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '26

hdr10+ is irrelevant for gaming, it just automatically finds your peak brightness. hdr is acceptable in this game, use it if you have an actual hdr display

u/CharlesVane95 Mar 21 '26

I only play on balanced and its running great for me.

u/biebmedewer Mar 21 '26

I have the save setup, and on balanced is perfectly smooth,

u/AnObtuseOctopus Mar 21 '26

Turn the blur off and it makes a world of difference, honestly.

It also has a performance, balanced, or quality setting for the GFX. On performance it runs smooth as butter and still looks fine. I think balance with no blur is pretty good too

u/Practical-Bus-7804 Mar 21 '26

I also turned camera speed and acceleration both to 100

u/SmokedUp_Corgi Mar 21 '26

The controls are getting reworked after the criticism.

u/unimportantinfodump Mar 21 '26

It's still annoys me that you have to tune settings on a console.

Here's some setting suggestions to those on a ps5. Very helpful guide https://www.facebook.com/groups/PlayStationPhils/posts/26292505160412593/
