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 encounters with enemies.
“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. Additionally, the smoke in the ending can make it difficult to see the monster coming.”
“The optimization is a major issue; I experience significant lag and frame drops, especially in crowded areas, which ruins the gameplay experience.”
“Despite the game's potential, the lack of proper optimization leads to frequent stuttering and crashes, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
