The game's optimization is noted to be shaky, leading to performance issues that can be irritating, though it remains playable. Instead of skipping frames, the game slows down, which somewhat mitigates the impact on overall performance.
“In this game in particular, the performance is pretty shaky.”
“The game is still playable given what it is, and since it slows the entire game rather than skipping frames entirely, it doesn't impact your performance, but it is a bit irritating.”
