The graphics options are limited, offering only a basic low/medium/high toggle without the ability to rebind controls or save settings, which many users find unacceptable, especially given the emphasis on 'enhanced graphics and lighting.' This lack of customization forces players to compromise on visual quality, as they cannot adjust specific elements to suit their preferences.
- “Unacceptable to begin with, even more necessary for their 'enhanced graphics and lighting'.”
- “No rebindable controls, no saving, no graphics settings besides an overall low/medium/high toggle.”
- “Hence the need to turn down/off whatever I don't care about, which is almost everything in terms of graphics, but it isn't possible here.”

- “There's only a single volume slider instead of separate ones for sound effects, speech, and music.”
- “The music tracks are repetitive and lack variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
