The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many users praising their beauty, realism, and immersive quality. While the visuals are considered a significant upgrade from the mobile version, some players note that performance issues can arise on lower-end PCs. Overall, the graphics are described as stunning, contributing greatly to the game's atmosphere and gameplay experience.
“The graphics are gorgeous and truly add to the feeling of immersion in the game, with high-quality textures and beautifully built models.”
“The lighting is amazing, featuring real-time volumetric beams that enhance the depth of the graphics, creating a frightening atmosphere as you traverse the game.”
“The game's graphics are very impressive and greatly assist with the immersion, complemented by a captivating soundtrack and sound effects.”
“If you have a bad small PC, don't buy this game. If you do buy it, the graphics are going to be terrible. 70% of the time you will crash. It's a very good game, but make sure to download it on a big and good PC; otherwise, you would already be refunding Evil Nun: The Broken Mask.”
“It's a good game, but the weird thing is that I put low graphics and it's so laggy like I put on high graphics. So I put high graphics and it's not laggy; it's weird and confusing.”
“The visuals look like something from a trailer.”
