    My issue with Unreal Engine 5 is pretty much exclusively Lumen.

    Developers turn it on and call it a day. No baked lighting. No reflection probes. Just blurry reflections and blurry shadows with FSR on top for extra blurriness.

    It runs and looks like absolute ass and I simply stopped buying UE5 games that use it.

        Pretty much every UE5 game I have played so far has it, with very few providing fallbacks to old school lighting.

        To list some of the worst offenders I can remember right now:

        • Lords of the Fallen (2023)
        • Remnant II
        • Talos Principle 2 and Talos Principle Reawakened
        • Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
        • Supraworld

          I looooove Talos Principle but my hardware is getting long in the tooth and 2 runs so blurry (and not well enough to compensate) that I gave up on buying the 1 Remaster, even though I really wanted to play the new bonus chapter…
