The game's optimization has been criticized for minor bugs and performance issues, particularly during cartoon sequences, even on capable hardware like the GTX 1080. Additionally, players have reported frustrating glitches, such as items disappearing unexpectedly.
“Minor bugs - sometimes the physics go crazy, and there are performance issues when watching cartoons (even with a GTX 1080). I bought a fuse in advance, but when I needed it, it disappeared, and I had to find the one I was supposed to find anyway.”
“The optimization is severely lacking; the game frequently stutters and lags, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
“Despite having a high-end graphics card, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, which is incredibly frustrating.”
