Now that I'm calmer and have accepted that I won't be able to play this game for another 3 or 4 months, I will try to be helpful to other people.

My PC specs are:

• GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
  
• AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
  
• 32GB RAM
  
• The game is installed on an SSHD (a hybrid drive that's better than an HDD, but not as good as an SSD)

Apart from all the other problems such as crashes and stuttering, the game doesn't run that well. I get an average of 60fps on 1080p with DLSS quality and any graphical settings. I didn't have any stats on the screen, so I couldn't see if the problem was with my CPU, but my CPU shouldn't have trouble running this game.

I had some texture problems. Even with high settings, some textures looked blurry. If I tried to change graphical settings mid-game, the game would start glitching, and the illumination and textures would get messed up for some time.

I decided that the game wasn't worth my money after the second combat encounter, where it shows you the stealth mechanics. Some of the problems I encountered (SPOILERS for the early game) before that were:

• Almost an hour spent building shadders (not that bad if only done once, but I saw some people saying they had to do it all over again after closing the game)
  
• A lot of stuttering
  
• Audio desync before the car crash, which made the crash really goofy with Sarah screaming a whole 2 seconds before the crash
  
• Really poor performance before and after the Fireflies' attack
  
• After picking up Joel's backpack, the game instructed me to reload my gun by pressing the left mouse button, and to melee with F. I know you reload with R2/R1 in the original game, but that's because they were working with a controller layout, and it's not the same thing with M&K. Fortunately, you can rebind it, but it gave me the impression that the people who ported the game didn't bother to adapt the controls to the PC.
  
• One of the worst things I've seen so far, which I know won't be fixed since it's intentional. When the guy crushed by the locker asked me to mercy kill him, I tried to quickly aim and shoot him but missed his head. For some godforsaken reason, there is a vertical offset to the reticle in this game. Just why? The original game didn't have this issue. Why would I want to aim lower when trying to shoot straight? At this point, I quickly looked at the configs because I knew my 2 hours were almost up, but I couldn't find any option to fix this.
  
• Tess casually killed my FPS when she turned on her flashlight before knocking on the door where the kid opens for her.
  
• At that same scene, I tried to change my settings because the performance was atrocious. After leaving the menu, the game started glitching out, and everything started bugging graphically.
  
• I had to kill the first human enemies by hand because I wasted all my bullets testing the aim offset, but when it came time to finish the last guy, he fell to his knee after a punch, and the game refused to let me punch or grab him for a full 3 to 4 seconds. I could only do something when he started getting up.
  
• At that moment, I was already done with the game. So when I walked behind the guy where you need to stealth him, to my surprise, they changed the stealth mechanics so you are not silent if you're not crouched. That was on me, but I was already fed up, and that was the last straw.

I would advise you to save your money and buy the Resident Evil 4 remake instead. The game is really something else. I would even say that it is one of the best games that I've ever played. The last time I was this invested playing a game was with The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4. I wish someday we could get that game for PC.

And if you still want to play this game, these problems are not due to Denuvo since the game doesn't have it. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to do with that information. ;)

Here's my old review, just for a laugh:

Wtf is wrong with this optiomization? rtx 3060 recommended my ass. I'm going back to resident evil 4. Thank you for ruining my favorite game
