The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they feel outdated and lack polish, especially when compared to modern standards. While some appreciate the nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the PS1 era, others criticize the artwork as subpar and suggest that even enhancements through addons have not significantly improved the experience. Overall, the visuals are seen as a drawback that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
“The aesthetics and atmosphere are manifestly inspired by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi, whose drawings of ruins fascinated Livingstone so much that we now have a game based upon them.”
“Graphically not the best, but it was good for its time; maybe not the premium class.”
“Recommended changing keyboard layout and graphics options to cinematic.”
“Every now and then I come back and try different addons and tweaks to play with the graphics and 3D hardware settings, hoping to make it a bit smoother, but so far I haven't been able to get any improvement.”
“It does work on Windows 10 and is playable (just), but without improvements to the graphics, it isn't as fun to play as it should be.”
“Worst game I have seen in years in graphics, controls, and gameplay.”
