- “The graphics are amazing!”
- “Such an incredible game honestly, the graphics, the gameplay, everything is good about this game.”
- “Beautiful graphic, smooth motion, love this game.”
- “The game is fun if I can play it properly; this game is not compatible with low-end devices. You need to have 5GB+ RAM in order to run this game smoothly. I would rather play the original one than this. I can't really say much more about this game since I deleted it minutes after I downloaded it because it's literally unplayable on my device. The graphics are not that good either; like I said, I'd rather play the original one. You guys have to make this run smoothly on cheaper devices.”
- “Very disappointing; for one, the graphics are bad.”
- “I really enjoyed this game, but there's one thing I hope will be solved, which is the graphics. It looks about 360p, so please, if it can be fixed, it will be great.”
