The graphics of the game are characterized by a low-fi, pixelated aesthetic reminiscent of classic titles like Doom, blending photo-scanned elements with a grainy style that some players find charming. However, many reviewers note that the visuals can be rough and repetitive, leading to a lack of engagement as the game progresses. While fans of this retro aesthetic may appreciate its unique approach, others find it nauseating and frustrating due to the poor visibility and simplistic design.
- “Also, the graphics mix the classic Doom blockiness with enemies made out of real photos, so if you like this style, Concrete Visions is your jam.”
