Digital Foundry's High on Life 2 review shows Unreal Engine 5's image quality comes at a price: consoles target 60fps but struggle due to CPU limits, while PC can hit superb visuals on top hardware; a single graphics mode and suboptimal reflections/lighting highlight UE5's current trade-offs, prompting questions about a balanced 30–40fps option on consoles.
