Although maybe only for some Wild Heartsis apparently a pretty good lower-case monster hunter game, albeit one with somesubstantial performance issuesits developers pledged to fix.

For a shooter set within an alternate history Soviet Union, it could perhaps have used some more central planning....

Heavily promoted feature is coming post-release I noticed the lack of ray tracing options in the review build we received last week, and got in touch with the game’s press relations team to check if I was missing something, or if they were due to be added via update.
