The optimization of the game has been criticized for being minimal, with users suggesting that the performance requirements are so low that even trivial tasks could qualify as achievements.
- “You may as well have 'breathe in and out 5 times' as an achievement, which would pretty much match the performance requirements of the measly 5 achievements currently offered.”
- “The optimization in this game feels like an afterthought, with frequent frame drops and long loading times that ruin the experience.”
- “It's frustrating to see such potential wasted due to poor optimization; the game often stutters and crashes, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
