Who are these characters? What is this story? How am I supposed to follow any of this as a newcomer?

Rancid game

One of the best games of all time.

There was a bad PC port here. It's gone now.

Demo so good I stopped playing it so I can experience it all at once. They did it again.

If they can fix the stuttering in cutscenes I'll drop 70 dollars on this in a heartbeat, it's my favorite game of the 2020's so far...come on Square :(

Extremely difficult but rewarding.

As someone who blew over 200 for all the games on Epic (R.I.P. Melody of Memory), of course I was gonna have to spend even more money on these releases. 100 dollars is not bad for what can easily be 200+ hours of content. Unfortunately, these are pretty flawed ports, main issue being high refresh rate support (not high frame rate) being broken. Basically, the game runs at 60 FPS at 144hz causing huge issues with judder, massive FPS drops, and some weird cutscene glitches. Once you set your monitor to 60hz, you're basically all set. There's actually quite a few bugs that this new release did fix, including some busted textures. However, on the same coin, the new AI upscaled textures are...weird. It's not a Persona 3 Portable disaster where every 2D element got a terrible looking Waifu2x pass and then they called it a day, but some of them are pretty rough looking (others look really good, actually) I have over 100 hours in this collection on Epic, same for Xbox, and an eye watering 300 on PS4/5.

Excellent games and on sale this is a killer deal. Buy it. Play on the hardest difficulties!

What happened here?

Certainly missing the charm and soul of Uncharted but a fun mindless third person shooter regardless
