The graphics of the game are criticized for poor performance, with users reporting extremely low frame rates (8 fps) even on the lowest settings, and significant visual bugs that hinder gameplay. Despite the game's aesthetic music, the graphical issues have persisted for three years, rendering it largely unplayable.
“The graphics are stunning, with incredible detail and vibrant colors that truly bring the game world to life.”
“The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene a visual treat.”
“The environments are beautifully designed, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that enhances the overall gaming experience.”
“We talk about 8 fps on the lowest possible settings on a GT 730M here (that thing can run Metro Exodus at 8 fps! While this game is far, far apart graphics-wise from Metro and still performs just as poorly).”
“Three years later, it is still unplayable; the visuals bug out like crazy, and my ship is only half visible in the bottom right corner of my screen.”
