The thing that really gets me is that the game can't run on a normal HDD. Despite being as sectioned off as it is by loading screens, and the graphics being pretty standard for a modern AAA game, it literally requires an SSD to run.

The only other game I've encountered that requires an SSD is Baldur's Gate 3, and even that runs perfectly fine on a normal HDD, so long as you don't mind occasionally waiting for stuff to load in after a loading screen.
