Review Note:

Terrible game for an M1 due to not having hardware based Ray Tracing. With the newer update it runs much better. It is playable, just uses a lot of upscaling.

Review Note:

It's playable, but with some frame rate drops below 30, and in some places it goes down to 23fps. It's not impossible to play, but the optimization by Ubisoft is terrible. If you have an M1 Air, or 8GB of RAM, forget it.

Review Note:

Playable in 4k at medium settings, however I need to manually ramp up the fans in Macs Fan Control, otherwise the M3 Pro would overheat and crash, so better play with headphones. FPS are somewhat around 30-50, so not that smooth if you ask me. Will update once I got the M2 Ultra Mac Studio.

12 hours in. Not ideal, but very enjoyable. Stock settings (were hi), haven't changed a thing. HDR is great; grass and faces - much less so. Once you're immersed it's amazing.
