The game's visuals significantly enhance the overall experience, but players with AMD graphics cards, particularly the 6600 XT and 5700 XT, may encounter persistent graphical artifacts. Adjusting the screen percentage can mitigate these issues to some extent, but a complete resolution is not achievable.

“If you have an AMD graphics card like the 6600 XT or 5700 XT, don't buy this game.”
“There are artifacts in the graphics; playing with the screen percentage setting increases or decreases these artifacts, but there is no way to get rid of them entirely.”
