Wouldn't bet on this. It's a shallow action RPG without a good modding scene. PC players don't care for those.
One of the positives that almost every review mentions, are its deep rpg mechanics and reactivity.

The first one was quite shallow and I'm expecting this one to be more of the same.

It's not the same in that aspect.
Some people here blame the hardware like saying the PS5 Pro sucks.

For what it's worth, from my perspective as someone who disliked the first one, I don't think it is. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but the writing and the RPG implementations (plus the graphics tech, less loading etc), it feels a lot better to me, idk. This is so much more enjoyable, and it many ways it reminds me of when I played Fallout New Vegas back in the days.

Today's patch has removed PSSR from the PS5 Pro version, lol.

- PS5 Pro now uses TSR for upscaling to address blurry grass on Paradise Island and unexpected lighting noise across the game.

Finally, someone unbiased like Timothy made the right port.

TSR is lighter to run vs PSSR, so I wonder if the average resolution jumped a bit.Today's patch has removed PSSR from the PS5 Pro version, lol.

Since it's effectively the base PS5 version now, DRS and frame rate metrics would (should) hopefully improve and reach their max bounds more often.

Removing mandatory PSSR seems to be a popular choice for developers
Now fix the shadows plz.

Stupid decision to remove PSSR from the Pro version. I've never seen a game using TSR that has better motion stability and sharpness compared to PSSR. The Pro thread on Resetera confirms that now the motion clarity and image sharpness is worse now (I haven't played the game myself though). All they needed to do was put a toggle in to choose between PSSR and TSR.
I fully acknowledge that PSSR has strobing and flickering issues on some areas of lighting and foliage in various games, but this is being overly emphasised to the point where people are thinking that TSR is the obviously better choice. It's not because it comes with the tradeoff of worse sharpness and clarity in motion. I prefer PSSR with its tradeoffs compared to TSR with its tradeoffs. If this decision was motivated by Digital Foundry's video then that's unfair. Why does Oliver's preference override everyone else's preferences? They need to put PSSR back in and make it optional. I really hope other developers don't listen to DF and remove PSSR from games entirely.
To be fair Oliver didn't outright ask for PSSR to be removed in this game, but he did state that he wanted it to be removed from Silent Hill f. And in this video, he stated that he doesn't know if PSSR is the right upscaler for this game. The image quality preferences of some people shouldn't determine what everyone else gets. A PSSR on/off toggle is all that needs to be added, it shouldn't be removed.

Yep, that has been my preferred way to play as well. I would play every game in a 40 FPS mode if the option was there.
I played the first game and found it a bit problematic because it lacked a good tone.
Poorly placed jokes; it tries to be satire but sometimes gets too serious.
It also has good parts, like when you go to a new planet and there's a disaster caused by a corporation, a great atmosphere of mystery and a bit of horror.
It has several highs and lows.
It's light years away from Fallout New Vegas; anyway, nobody who worked on F:NV is even there anymore.
From a technical standpoint, it's never going to be a great game... After all, it's "day one game pass".
Comparing the performance on PC, it wasn't so bad on PS5.
Regarding the "definitive edition" with all the DLCs being added to PSN Plus, I will play it, just like I did with the first game.
