The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players noting a lack of customization options and low-resolution textures in later levels. While the visuals evoke a nostalgic feel reminiscent of early 2000s shooters, they are generally considered average, with some users expressing disappointment compared to initial expectations set by promotional screenshots. However, the game's bright aesthetic and modern-day graphics appeal to those with less powerful hardware.
“Fast game with modern-day graphics and easy controls that move from location A to B to C and so on.”
“The game's graphics resemble the period of the noughties, which helps to remember the good old days.”
“For owners of weak PCs or laptops, this will be one of the good games with good graphics.”
“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
“I think it also looks a bit worse than you would expect from the not-so-great-looking screenshots on the store page. I would be mostly okay with the graphics, but the second and third worlds have very low-resolution wall textures, and for some reason, those just bother me.”

“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
