I always thought that the vanilla game always looked a little too oversaturated and cartoony in places, which is completely at odds with the dark and gritty tone of everything else. This ReShade preset was designed to tone down the overblown greens and oranges and give the game a slightly more gloomy feel which fits the game a lot better in my opinion.

Please note that this preset was made using the Next Gen Update DX11 version, but since it's only a ReShade preset designed for vanilla lighting, it should work with any version of the game, althought I can't comment on how well it will work with Ray Tracing enabled.

This preset is very performance friendly since it's only focused on changing the colour palette, there are only a handful of effects enabled and none of them are intensive
