✦ AI summary
Follow The Crown has an interesting historical narrative and atmospheric setting that appeals to some players, but the game's optimization is inconsistent—running smoothly on lower-end systems while experiencing performance issues on high-end hardware, alongside dated visuals and a distracting dithering effect. The stealth gameplay is functional and the concept has merit, though some find the pacing slow, camera controls awkward, and the abundance of guards frustrating without quick save options.
game feels slow, but often challenging, I like the concept it runs great on my potato computer5 found this helpful
It is a very nice atmospheric game, with interesting storyline, that is based on actual historical events2 found this helpful
[h1]Before I played Follow The Crown, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]1 found this helpful
Not good. Looks very low-budget, cheap, and outdated and is poorly optimized. I was getting constant frame rate drops in 4k resolution using an RTX3080 and i9 processor no matter what I changed the graphic settings to. There is also a strange checkered dithering effect across the screen that I don't care for. Camera movement is also not smooth and the camera angle seems distorted and warped. There are also way too many guards and no quick save. Even when it is free to play, I would still pass on this one to play better games.1 found this helpful
It's hard to hate on a free game with a workable stealth system and what seems like an interesting story, but this ran surprisingly poorly on my RTX 3080 when the game doesn't look that good.
