If someone thinks he bought a faulty game there is a lot of help and instructions in the internet on how to get a refund. Please proceed according to them ASAP. Generally it is contacting support of the seller (Steam, UBI or other store). https://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=o...w=1362&bih=936

Yes it was playable even on lower systems at reasonably reduced resolution or in Windowed mode. Incredible for such a monster sim with all the details modelled IMO.
