The graphics in the game are widely praised for their stunning visuals and immersive atmosphere, particularly in VR, with many players noting the excellent use of Unreal Engine 4 to create beautiful environments and realistic physics. Performance is generally solid, with high frame rates reported on capable hardware, although some users experienced issues with controller configurations that detracted from the overall experience. Despite minor criticisms, the graphics are considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's appeal.
“The graphics and physics are really well done.”
“The graphics in this game are excellent and truly convey the scale of the space environment.”
“Graphics are stunning in comparison to most games I've played and actually feels like a polished experience.”
“Although there is definitely some wonder there, the game's controls, graphics, and most of all, its tasks let it down.”
“Controllers are horrible and the graphic settings are turned to 2x resolution by default, and even if you change it, it doesn't save when you restart the game.”
“About minuses: you should have a 'space' graphic card on your computer, and the story was not long enough for me.”

Detached is a tricky experience to make an individual conclusion on and the verdict given might not reflect what a lot of people may feel when they experience it themselves. As with so many VR titles, and as referenced above, the physical experience of the title reflects a lot of what shapes the opinion. Some people are better versed to cope with the demands that the movement and physics place on them. It is also fair to give props to Anshar Studios for taking a risk like this and not compromising on their vision. For some, that will give them a lot of goodwill. However, even accepting this debate, it still stands true that the experience of Detached is only ever compelling in a few all-too-fleeting moments, and the full potential is yet to be unlocked.

While most of the VR titles that are slim on content feel like incomplete titles, Detached manages to subvert this expectation, delivering a fun filled zero-gravity romp through its limited runtime. If a community for the title manifests, a really interesting and unique multiplayer mode is part of the equation as well. Some truly stunning setpieces and the opportunity to float through space to a haunting cosmic score make for a grand ol’ time. The game’s steep price to content ratio might scare off some, but that’s not exactly a new thing in the VR realm, and ultimately the price of entry still feels worth it.
