Final Thoughts

Before commenting on how Hard Reset plays using various hardware configs I'd just similar to thank Flying Wild Grunter for this slap-up video game. There is a lot to love about Hard Reset and non all of information technology has to exercise with how the game performs.

For starters the lack of DRM is great news for gamers. The programmer deserves a lot of credit for this, which is a little sad when you lot think about it, but that is the style things are. Some other rarity is the affordable price tag. Flying Wild Hog is request just $29.99 and information technology's available on Steam correct now. When you consider that Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which nosotros tested recently, still costs twice every bit much Difficult Reset certainly seems similar a bargain.

Moving on to the game's performance, Hard Reset plays really well using the ultra quality settings, with MLAA enabled the game is well optimized. Moreover the game looks fantastic and the levels feature an impressive amount of detail. For a kind of Doom, Convulse, Painkiller or even Serious Sam-manner first person shooter we have found Difficult Reset to be a lot of fun. More importantly, similar many games released this year it didn't force usa to make a hard reset when playing, pun intended ;)

Apart from the obvious event with Crossfire when using MLAA, the game played flawlessly on all hardware configurations. Still, given the performance reward we recommend gamers employ the MLAA setting only every bit the programmer does.

Those with dual-core processors should be aware that their organization is likely to suffer as we constitute quad-cores evangelize significant performance boosts. Although the game merely appears to heavily use two cores, the third and fourth cores do see lite usage.

Finally, those hoping to run the born benchmark as we did should download the complimentary demo. Hopefully the developer volition patch the benchmark feature into the full version of the game so that whatever future improvements tin exist easily tested.
