I should not have to rely on DLSS to have a playable framerate with a 3090. This game is extremely poorly optimized and my thermals are through the roof when I do play. Yes its a visually impressive game but at the very least I should be able to get 60 fps on native. Even with the DLSS I still get occasional stutters and fps drops. That is unacceptable and there is no solution. No mods.
Moving past the performance of this game it's a solid remake in the sense that it kept basically everything kosher and improved nearly on everything. The atmosphere is not as daunting and intimidating and that vibe just isn't the same. I will say I do wish they kept Isaac's silence or just really restrict his speaking as I like that it took a whole game for him to finally speak. Also wished they kept his design from the original games and just made him look younger instead of drastically changing his appearance.
Overall its not a bad game but the poor optimization really held back my ability to enjoy this title. Get on a deep sale and play during the winter because boy does it burn hott. Not the worse remake but not the best very far from it. Go play the original at some point if you haven't
