The graphics of the game are reminiscent of 1990s design, which some players find dated and unappealing, while others appreciate the unique art style and premise. Overall, the visuals are seen as a mixed bag, with some noting that they detract from the overall experience.
“The art style is really unique and so is the premise.”
“Kinda odd that it took me more time to install it than to beat the game, but nothing's free in life. If you want a 10-minute long game where you walk down random halls and shoot robo cops with 1990s graphics and maybe 6 achievements, then go ahead.”
