This was free on PS+ so I downloaded it, after about 5 hours in I think it's still easily the best looking game on PS5 right next to Demon Souls. Just an absurd amount of detail and it looks incredible. I really hope more games in the future start having balanced mode for this with high refresh rate monitors, 40 frames is just fine and 45 should become the general target, it's more than fluid enough while keeping all the bells and whistles of fidelity/ RT modes. Really fun game also, the combat is surprisingly addictive.
