📋 About This Mod
I found that many of the presets are too bright and deviate too much from the art style of the game itself, so that they are not universal enough, and in some cases the graphics are not natural. In this ReShade Preset, the colors are natural and rich, the light is more layered, and the performance is excellent in both day and night.
