I hate to be a downer, but I just ran Stranger's Wrath and... this has got to be one of the worst ports I have ever played. And that's saying a lot.

First, there's only one graphics setting. You can change the resolution to Low, Medium, High, or Ultra. What does that even mean? Do they not realize that monitors have native resolutions and resolution limits? We have to know exactly what resolution we're choosing. And who knows if they're widescreen or not.

Second, there's no mouse control in the menus. This one isn't so bad because a lot of ports don't have mouse control in menus. It just means you have to scroll through all the options with your keyboard. It's still annoying and, after all this time, I thought they'd have something more suitable for PC.

Third, the sound is messed up. The ambient/background music in the introduction cutscene is clearly audible while all the sound effects are buried underneath. It's impossible to hear what the characters say. It's also like this during gameplay, though it doesn't seem as bad.

Finally, the game runs as if it's being played through an emulator. Crysis performs so much better, and Stranger is a 6 year old Xbox game. Come on...

I can only hope Munch's Oddysee is a bit better. I don't think I can play Stranger in its current state.

Pro tip add this to config.txt:


width=1680
height=1050
fullscreen
resolution=custom

with your resoultion
