The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players noting that it feels under-optimized and similar to its 2021 predecessor, despite minor improvements.

Overall, the game's graphical performance appears to be a significant concern for many players.
“I like it, but it boils my graphics card which is an RTX 2080 Ti. I know it's pretty old, but it usually can handle this type of game with ease without fans on maximum.”
“Lots of things to do and the graphics are good.”
“I started the game and it is not optimized, even with my NVIDIA GTX 1650 DDR6.”
“Technically, it's almost the same game as 2021, with more crops, slightly better graphics, and some new features.”
