LOST EMBER: Rekindled Edition

I will finish the game in the future for the achievements, but that's kind of it. It is very poorly optimized and once I apply settings that are fit for my configuration, it looks worse than the regular 2019 game made in UE4! Loved the normal game, but this engine upgrade made it worse, not better. If you're considering a playthrough, choose the 2019 release instead of this.

I'd give this game a 7/10. Lots of heart, I could see where they were going with the story and experience curation. Music was lovely. Collectibles were a waste of time and distracted from the atmosphere. Unfortunately, graphical and pacing issues took the punch out of some of the most impactful scenes. I would have been sobbing during the ending if I wasn't confused on where I was supposed to go. I ended up wandering in empty space, which revealed the limitations of the design field and broke my immersion.

game itself is amazing, however its optimized horrifically

I'm very confused.. I have bought the rekindled DLC, and it has me still playing the main story?? Would like some help...

Soothing game exploring a old culture as various animals.

I loved the original/classic version of Lost Ember so I was excited to play this version. The original ran really well on my pc, the rekindled was.. well... the opposite. Severe lag, the audio didn't play at the proper time, especially during cutscenes. The ground especially if water was present in the scene was completely transparent & invisible. I barely even made it out of the starting cave before I just gave up because of how garbage the rekindled version was running. Unless things change, I prefer the original 2019 version of the game. I even had my quality set to lowest in the settings & it still ran like complete garbage on my pc. I'm attaching my PC Specs to the review & I hope maybe a developer can fix whatever issues I'm having. I don't know how else to ask for support for the game outside of a review.
