The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the high-quality visuals, art style, and detailed environments, particularly the impressive building designs and lighting effects. However, some users report performance issues and subpar animations, which detract from the overall experience, especially on lower-end hardware. While the game showcases beautiful graphics, optimization remains a concern for players with less powerful systems.
- “The buildings and decor are stellar, really great artwork here.”
- “I really enjoy the art style and high quality visuals.”
- “It's a full 3D space with fantastic graphics that lets you walk, run, and swim around the group of islands.”
- “Poor performance, ugly graphics, bad animations, dead servers.”
- “Unfortunately, the graphic settings had to be set to medium for me, and that took away the quality of visual effects.”
- “Update: 2/6/21 - I got a new laptop, and everything seems to be okay as far as graphics, other than the lighting of the environment. It seems fine with the makeup in dress-up mode, but in the environment, it looks like she has two black eyes or has been in a basement for far too long. You can't really see her eyes because the makeup becomes too dark in the environment. I tried decreasing the shadows for the environment as well as using super lighter colors of eyeshadow and liner, and it didn't work.”
