The game suffers from optimization issues, particularly with frame rate drops when viewing the center of the map, even on low settings. Additionally, visual effects like smoke can hinder visibility, complicating gameplay.
“The only complaint I have is that the game doesn't seem to be optimized very well. My frame rate would tank while looking towards the center of the map, even on the lowest settings, and the smoke in the ending can make it difficult to see the monster coming.”
“The optimization is a major issue; I experience significant lag during intense moments, which ruins the gameplay experience.”
“Despite the game's potential, the poor optimization leads to frequent crashes and long loading times, making it frustrating to play.”
