The verdict
A free, very demanding, nostalgic ray-traced tech demo of a 2006 PC room with little interactivity. Skip it if you lack a high-end RTX GPU or want an actual game.
Great for
Owners of high-end RTX cards who enjoy 2000s PC nostalgia and tech demos
Main risk
Very heavy requirements cause awful fps or crashes on mid-range or non-Nvidia hardware
