Intro's / Cutscenes:
-----------------------
Fmv's are fine

Sound:
-----------------------
Seems fine, Might have minor issue couldn't tell

Performance / Gameplay:
-----------------------
The performance varies, on my hardware runs 40's Ingame and 60 fps in pre game intro. Worse, it got to 30 fps. Runs worse in vulkan.

Graphics:
-----------------------
Graphical issue with shadow on referee being broken on night and raining maps. Also an issue with shadow being missing on player in raining weather.


Rating:
-----------------------
Playable: Should run at full speed with zen 4/Amd Gpu not sure what gives the better performance
