The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the lack of customizable settings and resolution issues, particularly at 2560x1440. However, recent updates have improved the visuals by reducing darkness and shader vignette, earning praise from the community. Overall, while the graphics are considered acceptable, they do not stand out, especially for a game released in 2017.
“Graphics were improved with less darkness and a smaller shader vignette since the last update, so I give a thumbs up to the devs for listening to their community.”
“The game was made in 2017, so that is no excuse for it having horrible graphics.”
“There's no rebinding of keys, barely any graphic settings, and for some reason 2560x1440 doesn't work, even though it's one of the resolution options.”
“Graphics are okay, cyborgs fight back.”
