Great to hear. They made an absolute mess at launch, but I bought it the other week to find a real gem of a game. Performance is bearable, but this patch should hopefully smooth things out further.

I really liked this game. Played it a couple of weeks after release and didnt have any major issues with it.
They’re nothing alike really but it reminded me of how I felt when I played the first inFamous game.
