The graphics are generally well-received, with users praising the artwork as impressive despite the involvement of two different teams. While some may find the new style distinct from the company's main artist, it is still considered a strong aspect of the game.
“The artwork is pretty great, even with the two different groups working on it.”
“I think the artwork is good as well as the story.”

“Character models are poorly designed and look lifeless, which detracts from the overall experience.”
“The environments are bland and repetitive, making exploration feel tedious and uninspired.”
