Outlanders 2 in Apple Arcade

★★★★★ Oh, bummer.

I wrote a previous review stating all the good things about this game, so I’m going to skip the praise. This game lags so much that it becomes unplayable. It drains your phone battery in about 20 minutes, if you can even play that long without your phone getting so hot your fingers are practically burning. Forget charging and playing at the same time, too. Your phone will be too hot and charging will be disabled until your phone returns to a normal temperature. I’m currently using an iPhone 14 so I shouldn’t be having this issue, nor am I alone, based on other reviews. I don’t know how the optimization of a sequel can be so much worse than the original. It’s a bummer.
