The graphics of the aim trainer are generally criticized for being outdated and poorly optimized, with many users describing them as basic or reminiscent of older games. While some appreciate the extensive customization options available, others report significant performance issues, such as frame drops and input latency, even on high-end systems.

“The graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth.”
“Great PvP and PvE, great storyline, deep lore, amazing graphics, smooth gameplay.”
“I have a 3500 dollar PC and this is the most awfully optimized aim trainer ever. Lowest graphics possible, everything is plain and solid color, but every time I move my mouse in the game, my frames drop to 30fps. What are these guys doing, lmfao?”
“But hey, at least they updated the textures on the assets to 2000, so now you can play Nintendo 64 levels of graphics instead of Sega Genesis.”
“The visuals are ugly; the program looks like one of those 'I made the Mirror's Edge running animation in Unity in 24 hours' videos, and most of the job, and anything that's actually useful, like tracking and scoping, is done by the workshop.”
