The graphics maintain a consistent style with previous iterations, but many users feel they have deteriorated, resulting in a clunky gameplay experience. While the addition of full-screen functionality is appreciated, it does not significantly improve the overall visual quality.
“Graphics are still fine because they're mostly the same assets and style, but even though alt+tab now works to go full screen (thanks to Unity, nothing to do with the dev), it's still far from acceptable.”
“Graphics are worse and gameplay is more clunky.”
