The optimization of the game has been criticized for causing significant stuttering issues, which can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences, including frequent deaths. Players have noted that turning off sound may be a workaround, but it does not fully resolve the performance problems.
- “If you enjoy turning off the sound and dying in every game due to constant stuttering, this game is for you.”
- “The optimization is so poor that it feels like I'm playing a slideshow instead of a game.”
- “Frequent frame drops and lag make it nearly impossible to enjoy the gameplay.”
