Silent Hill f looked great in previews - now seemingly down to a combination of high spec hardware, frame-rate caps and a warm shader cache. Looking at the PC version with both high-end and more mainstream hardware, the first play experience clearly needs some work. While this is no Borderlands 4, there's clear scope for substantial improvements to the PC game.
