68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The weapon customization is great, the gunplay feels fantastic, and I really enjoyed how the campaign constantly switches between different perspectives and locations.

54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is smooth, the gunplay is excellent, and fighting large groups of enemies is still satisfying.

What I can say is that, with the graphics settings on Normal and DLSS set to Quality, I was able to reach around 150 FPS, sometimes even 200–220 FPS.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game, on my system, was smooth and the FPS was fast enough that I didn't feel like it was overly laggy on the High Quality setting.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very good graphics, mostly well optimized, and still quite a fun gameplay makes it worth it.
