The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting poor performance characterized by consistent stuttering and a lack of adjustable settings to improve it. Many players noted that the frame rate is locked to the display's refresh rate, resulting in a subpar experience even on capable hardware like the 1080ti. Additionally, the absence of workshop content, DLC, and achievements further detracts from the game's longevity and overall appeal.
- “Unfortunately, there is no workshop content to extend the life of the game, no DLC, no achievements, and the performance seems to be pinned to the refresh rate of your display, so I was getting 60 FPS throughout.”
- “Bad performance with the game - some periodic stuttering every 4 seconds or so, not sure what's wrong.”
- “There was not even a way to tinker with the settings to maybe improve the performance. I'm using a 1080 Ti, and the performance is garbage.”
