Review:

The HDR presentation here is very similar to the previous game, so very sound from the technical perspective, the artistic one probably won't be to everyone's taste. The main difference here is that HDR matches sRGB in SDR and not Gamma 2.2, however sRGB here looks very similar to G2.2 in Requiem, which makes me believe that it's an intended EOTF.
