The only annoying problem I had with the PC port is the absence of an exit button or key. Performance-wise, the game runs like a charm, without any crashes whatsoever. To fix this issue, I needed to either r estart the game or reconnect the controller. If you pick the Xbox controller but accidentally clicked on your PC keyboard, the signal changes to default. The controller signal changes to default when I click on the keyboard.

I did encounter an issue with this though. In terms of compatibility, the game also offers controller support for Xbox, PlayStation and Switch. Note that I was running the game on the best settings. Even though the game’s system requirements state that 8GB RAM is the minimum specs, after monitoring the game several times, I discovered that it only consumes less than 500 MB of my RAM and about 20% – 30% of processor usage. One thing that did surprise me is that the game is extremely well optimised on PC. Considering that Rune Factory 4 Special is not a remaster, but more of a game + DLC pack, this is understandable. In terms of graphics quality, even on the best settings, the improvements are barely noticeable. However, the similarities end here as I’ll be going through my experience playing the game on PC.
Rune 2 reviews upgrade#
While the new content isn’t as massive as say, Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Royalwhich adds another love interest, new maps and gameplay mechanics, Rune Factory 4 Special is still a pretty content upgrade overall.Īll the points that I mentioned previously were already covered in our Rune Factory 4 Special review for Switch. Overall, the new content is a welcome one as there’s nothing to lose from the original game. If you like to be a bit more critical with how you dodge or if you just want the satisfaction of beating the game in the hardest difficulty, Hell mode should do the trick. As for Hell difficulty, the new difficulty option just increased enemy HP and the damage they dealt, so if you’re expecting smarter enemy behavior, you’re out of luck. The dual audio option also extends to the rest of the game, which is sweet. On top of that, the new content is entirely voiced in both English and Japanese, depending on which language option you prefer.

Fully voiced with adorably drawn illustrations, the additional content is sure to melt your heart. As someone who absolutely loves Forte, being able to make more memories with her through the Special edition content is a blessing. While the Another Episode DLC and Newlywed mode only offers quite a fair bit of extra content (especially if you want to explore ALL the love interests’ episodes) the best part about it is quality. There is a huge amount of things to do in the original and the Special edition adds even more, namely: Follow spent hundreds of hours on the original on the 3DS, it goes without saying that I thoroughly loved the original.
