Key points
- Excellent PC version: great performance,[2] many graphics and controls settings, Oculus Rift support, and editable game XML files.
- "Novice" and "Nightmare" difficulty modes were added in a free patch.
- This version lacks a voice detection feature from the console versions that can enable you to maintain the mic's noise level during the game.
- The anti-aliasing that comes with the game is rather poor, but can be rectified.[3] See Anti-aliasing (AA).
