The game is criticized for its poor optimization, with players experiencing inconsistent framerates averaging 30-40 FPS, despite having a capable graphics card. Additionally, the PC specifications listed on the Steam store are deemed misleading, suggesting that the game may not be well-optimized for its intended hardware.
“This game is a good game, and the dev seems to care greatly about it. I'll give credit; however, the PC specs on the Steam store are misleading, or this game is badly optimized.”
“This game runs on the Unity engine. After testing the framerate, I get an average of 30-40 fps, and it hits 60 but only for 2 seconds before going down, which means bad optimization, or overall this game just isn't rated for the 2060.”
“[b] needs optimization fixes.”
