About the Game
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone of that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission - Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
We are Expedition 33.

Review Note:
Used a mixture of low and medium settings along with upscaling and it runs at a fairly decent 60fps. Only area that mess it up is the map where it starts using over 25gb of ram which my machine lacks (18gb) so I have to restart the game after monitoring the ram usage as swap makes the game unplayable due to stutters.

Review Note:
Wish I could put the graphic settings up, but game still looks stunning. Hair looks a little grainy but that's it. Doesn't eat up too much memory (only in the main map did I notice it being hungry).

Review Note:
The game runs well enough to play, although I'd recommend finding other ways. It's not super optimized to run through Crossover. Definitely worth playing though.

Perfectly playable, 30-60 FPS depending on graphics settings / upscaling. I settled with 45 FPS on High upscaled from 720p. Image quality is great but hair can be grainy. Can enable Frame Generation for 2x FPS but I got artifacts + screen tearing.
