I didn't buy this and it's nowhere in my library lol, but from what I've seen the hanmdling is way too heavy/clunky+drift focused, like most modern NFSes, sadly.

Been stuck on this for 24h non-stop without realizing, friends visiting, leaving, then visiting again 12h later, me still going. Recommended.

Absolutely excellent experience - with some deeper secrets... 🦀

And yeah, the frustration part is definitely right. GG Nvidia.

Also I thought path tracing should've been so great for workflows/dev etc.
Cause no shadowmaps/baked lighting so that everything automatically just worksᵀᴹ, calculating the look out of lightweight PBR materials and coordinates for lightsources.

Going from 820MB to 19.6GB(!) certainly is an achievement.

So much for:

Yeah, good luck with that, with ~20GB.

Not dealing with a remote code execution exploit today, my boy!
Bye R*, thanks for 108GB additional drive space.

Quacktastic cozy winter vibes for the cold season.

Quacktastic!
10/10 - Duck approved.

Quacking good job, adding a launcher and greed store on top, after almost 10 years?

Absolutely glorious.
The only reason why I'm stopping (for now, after playing all-night, since release, 13h non-stop), is that I'll just pass out otherwise, not having relentless endurance like Stanley.

How else to describe "The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe"?
Such a revolutionary step forward in the lineage of one of the most beloved video game properties of all time! The additions and changes made to this expansion will surely resonate in the annals of the history of all media ever made.
It is perhaps true to say that no mistakes are forever etched in stone for the stone into which The Stanley Parable was carved has itself been transmuted offering a message of hope to those who have ever erred in their judgment.
You are not beyond redemption. You may change, and you may become more. So much more than you were before.

If there is any message to be taken from The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe it is this...

What a fortune, a privilege, a joy it is to have had such an experience. It leaves me hopeful that as a community - as a world there is time for us to become our greatest selves. As great as we ever could dream of in our wildest, most ambitious visions for a brighter future.

8/8
