    The graphics are stylized and generally decent, though some assets appear recycled, giving a mobile-game feel. While visuals are clear and suitable for gameplay, the lack of customizable graphics settings and bugs affecting resolution and resets limit optimization, especially on lower-end systems.

    • “Otherwise this game is very nice, has good graphics and nice controls, again, a lot of potential.”
    • “Good name, fun, great party game, surprisingly good graphics, but there are a couple bugs.”
    • “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are borrowed from asset stores or elsewhere.”
    • “The stylized graphics, while looking straight off a mobile game, make it easy to spot both the AI zombies and humans, but other players.”
    • “The lack of options to change your graphical settings can lead to issues for lower end systems, but if you play more demanding games with little issue you should be fine.”

    The game is generally criticized for poor optimization, causing performance issues even on low settings for some users.

Overall, optimization is a significant concern that detracts from the gameplay experience.

    • “I have read other reviews of individuals struggling with performance and optimization, which I noticed quite easily, but it wasn't a major issue for me due to my PC's specs, although I know others will not have the same specs as me.”
    • “Pep is a game that, even though I haven't played a lot of, I can see its value as a game that, with a little optimization and UI updates, can be a game that millions can enjoy.”
    • “Need to be able to customize settings beyond just low to ultra, and I feel like it needs some more optimization.”
    • “The game is too unoptimized; I was playing on very low settings and it still lags.”
    • “Poorly optimized, the COD Zombies mode has friendly fire and no revives, the perks all suck and ruin your vision, there are invisible dogs only the host can see, the guns are terrible, and you can only hold 1 pistol and 1 primary instead of whatever you want.”
    • “Need better customization of settings beyond just low to ultra, and it feels like it needs more optimization.”
