Graphics are what I expected, gameplay is stable, movement needs some tuning, but nothing game‐breaking.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There is definitely some optimization that needs to be done, but I found if I turned my resolution down to 1440p, put the graphics settings to 'high', and set the frame rate limit to 60, i didn't have any stuttering issues aside from the first 10-20 seconds or so on the first boot up.
