1.8 GB (expanding to ~7GB) is quite small for a video game. Still, if that's too much for your hardware to spare, you don't have to download and play it.
small, no it's absolutely tiny, there's a crazy amount of content here and even older games like HL2 are over 8GB compressed, who tf is complaining about 2GB in 2025? I could understand 20 years ago when 500GB was a large drive but today?
