The graphics are generally considered decent, with some users noting a middle-tier quality reminiscent of PS4 titles, while others express disappointment in the lack of significant improvements for a PS5 game. Customization options are abundant, but the ornate design in certain areas detracts from the overall aesthetic. Overall, while the graphics are functional and do not present technical issues, they may not meet the expectations for a next-gen experience.
