Finally got to try the game, and I was blown away - that does not happen often. Graphics are Alyx class, and that says a lot. It's not strictly a game, but more a kayak sim. Feels like using a real kayak - or "better than life" as the devs call their company.
Using RTX 3090 I could do res 230% with all settings maxed out, but using highest quality of DLSS. Using lcd, DLSS creates a blurry image, but it's fine in res 230% in 90 fps. Disabling DLSS and using MSAA provided non-blurry image quality, but jaggies appeared. I ended up liking DLSS the most. I took a few shots:
Water and cliffs look beyond amazing - and all in solid 90 fps
Looks like tessellation, but I don't think it is
Tons of polygons make this game/sim look real
The are about 5 different locations - this is Antarctica
Found a turtle on the beach - note the nice textures and dynamic shadows
See the small ripples/waves in the water - it looks amazing
Kayak VR is a 15/10 - it transcends the normal scale like Alyx and Lone Echo 1-2. For those caring about VR, Kayak VR should be in the collection.
