Comments:

This game recieved a yellow rating due to performnce issues that can hamper the overall feeling and flow of gameplay.

Test Notes:

  • Playable offline with a local account. After completing the tutorial, there is a prompt to continue playing offline.
  • During one early cutscene, there was noticeable clipping and ghosting on character models.
  • Performance mode targets 60 fps. However, this will drop considerably in areas with a large number of enemies on-screen. Performance rarely dropped below 30 fps at this setting, but there were a few particular survival/defense quest objectives that stressed performance especially.
  • Quality mode displays an occasional delay when loading textures.
  • In some areas, there is an issue that impacts gameplay and performance where the framerate drops progressively and brief micro-freezes start to occur. This was first noticed when exploring the Delphaipolis, Okeanos, Toriel’s Lands and Frontier areas in chapters 2 and 3. The drop in performance is seemingly due to the number of enemies killed in these areas. This resulted in a crash in one instance. Upon further testing, this issue was mitigated by teleporting back to the Montescail city hub area. This results in a more stable experience. It is therefore recommended to use newly discovered fast travel points to reset areas while progressing for a more ideal experience.
  • Toriel’s Lands and Frontier show noticeable pop-in of textures at the edge of the screen in performance mode. Doesn’t appear to occur in Quality mode.
  • Trophies related to defeating main story bosses unlocked as normal. Most progression trophies unlocked when exiting and loading back into the game if the requirements were met.
  • Online mode allows the player to share character and city progression. This does not function offline, but a new city can be created offline either in story or endgame mode.
  • Encountered one instance where some enemies stood still and didn’t attack in a small area. Enemy death animations also didn’t play on rare cases.
  • High end loot can only be obtained on higher difficulties.
  • 29.56 GB install
