The game's optimization has been criticized for poor performance, particularly on older hardware, and issues like character clipping. While there are interesting gameplay ideas, the overall execution in terms of optimization appears lacking.
“Optimization has clearly missed something.”
“Unoptimized.”
“The game had poor performance on my old computer; there was also a lot of clipping from my character around walls and whatnot. There seems to be a lot of ideas in here. I've read a news post by the dev saying you have to keep the generator powered with a fuel can, and the menu opens up the character's cell phone with a bunch of intriguing looking options like ordering different spatulas or calling in a cow tipper.”
