opening animation had to be skipped, had some graphical issues every now and than that required restarting. sometimes wouldn't connect with my PS5 controller. playable enough to beat the game, but not optimized for M series chips. also had issues if I played in fullscreen, but window stretched to the edge of the screen worked? kinda weird but made it work

Review Note:

Other than the consistent crashing issues, a bugged loading screen, and and refusing to run at 2560x1440 when I know the m4 model can handle.
the game is extremely playable getting 70-90 on avg and can bump up to 144 (refresh rate for me) during cutscenes
