The game's graphics are highly praised for their beautiful, colorful, and detailed artwork, with well-illustrated scenes and strong art direction.

- “The voiceovers are good; the graphics are amazing even in the cut scenes which normally are pretty lousy in these types of games.”
- “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.”
