The graphics are generally considered passable with some decent effects, featuring a clean and aesthetic design without unnecessary gimmicks. While the visuals do not rely on anime styles, they include notable elements like shiny dora tiles and a new numbered tile set from recent updates. However, high graphics card utilization may lead to fan noise or coil whine.
