This comes with oodle scanner, just drag and drop file.

Isn't the 2018 God Of War a PlayStation exclusive? That explains why its using Oodle.

I know the PC re-release in 2022 uses no compression.

I feel like a right rube again, I contacted the developer and got a message back, just before reading the responses here, the developer also confirmed there isn't any compression used, if I'd taken the time to read through the github release notes I would've seen they officially noted this.

It seems odd the developers wouldn't use Oodle on the PC release given how many folk still have older and slower hardware akin to a PS4's specs.

Perhaps I am missing the point, but wouldn't it make more sense for the developers NOT to use Oodle for the PC release? Older hardware would offer poor decompression speed compared to being able to just read game data from disk straight into memory and have it ready to use.

I was thinking more so about read operations from the disk being less intensive if the data was compressed but yes I'll admit I wasn't thinking about the fact it'd be more intensive on a user's memory and processor!
