I used to play this game on Playstation and it really brought back some nostalgia when I opened it. it plays just like I remember. I was super excited to play but unfortunately this is just a demo. the full game is 9.99, but seeing how similar it is to the console version, its probably worth it. I dont have a controller for mobile yet so this game in particular is hard to play with just screen functions, I find myself taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back every 3 steps, metaphorically.

There is a lot to say about this game. First the pros, game is cool, realistic graphics and good gameplay, nice UI and cutscenes. Then we got the cons, game drains battery immensely fast, there are graphics settings but it isn't really "clear" what it's implying. Another thing is that the tutorial popups could have been a bit more specific, like they should say you have to be holding onto the prey to activate the aim mode, some more QoL changes and that should be fine.

Great game, supports controllers, but heavy on resources. On a S8 Gen2 it needs to run on "Performance" setting and 60FPS for best results, very smooth. But "Balanced" or "Quality" will cause low framerates. Also, I noticed this "Try & Buy" version runs better than the premium version for some reason, which has frequent frame drops. The game is fun and enjoyable, but I wish it was better optimized to run at medium graphics at least.
