The graphics in this game have received mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the stunning visuals and depth of the survival mechanics, others report issues with fullscreen settings and high resource consumption that can lead to performance problems. Additionally, there are concerns about the game's ability to launch properly after adjusting graphics settings, indicating potential optimization issues.
- “The depth of the survival mechanics and the stunning visuals make it a surprisingly fulfilling experience for those with patience.”
- “Unlike most other games by the same developer, this one and, if I recall correctly, two other games have issues with fullscreen, graphics quality, size, and such. I don't know why they were made differently, but it just means it will draw more resources from the CPU/GPU for no good reason and may also mess with your screen setup a bit.”
- “After lowering the graphics and resolution using the config to leave it idle in the background, the game refuses to launch, giving me an error message I don't understand.”
