The graphics of the game have received mixed feedback; while many users appreciate the solid visuals and recent improvements that enhance immersion and animation, some criticize the stiffness of zombie models and occasional clipping issues. Despite initial concerns about outdated graphics reminiscent of the N64 era, the game has become a favorite for some players, especially after updates that significantly improved its visual quality. However, there are calls for options to reduce graphical fog for a clearer view of the environment.
“Now with the recent update, this game has 2x better graphics, fun, animation, and immersion.”
“The graphics are nice, providing a visually appealing experience.”
“I actually thought this game would suck with its N64-looking graphics, but this is one of my favorite HTC Vive games.”
“I would really like the fog from the Nintendo 64 days washing out the beautiful city streets to go away or at least give us a setting for those of us with better graphics cards to do so.”
