Is it a good game? It's............... different, it's interesting but kinda weird. It's quiet resource heavy …

I also tried the version of 11 that was released today, it still works. According to an article I was reading it's going to be locked to 2nd Gen Ryzen and up, and Intel 7th gen with some hit or miss compatibility stuff. Same with Ryzen. Edit: On full release. I did have to modify the installer to …
