The game's graphics are widely praised for their beautiful artwork and vibrant colors, with detailed backgrounds and well-illustrated scenes contributing to an immersive experience.

“One minor gripe that I do have with these is that though the game’s resolution can be set to 1440p, the artwork doesn’t look to be designed for that, so the images get stretched and slightly blurred.”
