The optimization of the game has been criticized for being minimal, with users suggesting that the performance requirements are so low that even trivial tasks could qualify as achievements.
“You may as well have 'breathe in and out 5 times' as an achievement, which would pretty much match the performance requirements of the measly 5 achievements currently offered.”
“The game feels like it was optimized for a toaster rather than modern hardware, leading to frustratingly low frame rates.”
“Despite having a powerful PC, I still experience significant lag and stuttering, indicating poor optimization.”
