My first impression is not to bad - Download, install and update time was about 2 1/2h (200 Mbps connection), did some test flights now. Updating the graphics drivers fixed my low fps dramatic (it was an 2019 AMD driver before), however in my opinion they still have to do a lot of performance tuning. CrossfireX (or mGPU) does not work currently - i hope they'll add support for it at a later point (DX12?). Graphic this game is a 10/10, performance currently a 6/10 and technically it is also a 6/10 for me (Joystick sensivity is really bad, no preconfigured Joystick scheme, very hard axis control, sometime clicking on the cockpit buttons just dont work, ...). There was no missing content (Premium Deluxe Ed.) or else for me - no crashes or anything. Graphic setting with one GPU and a 5760x1200 resoulution is about Medium to High End (Low FPS, just playable).

Joystick: Microsoft SideWinder Precision II, GPU: 2 x Radeon Vega 64, CPU: Enough, RAM: Enough.

Okay, i played it now a few minutes, there are three major things, which annoy me, and would stop me from buying it. Otherwise it's a nice idea, and the implementation looks quite nice to me.

The first thing which i think is a major issue, is the combat system, it's a no-go. Sure, G1/G2/G3 got a dull combat system, but that worked quite flawless.

Second thing: The overlay HUD (health bars) is really annoying, and is ruining the game experience, in my opinion.

The Third thing: The Inventory. Sure, there are many games around where you got a inventory (and character menu, ..) like this - but why don't orient on the "old" style? It was simple, easy to open, easy to handle, ...


The graphics is pretty UE like (which isn't a negative point at all), altough i would refine some things (like the torch corona, flame emitter, ...). Also, it would be fine to see the "Classical health bars" in a (final?) game. So, overall it is a nice experience to play "it" again.

Epic Game for Partys and Solo Nights (Singleplayer).
A Must- Have!
