The reviews highlight a stark contrast in optimization between the games, with "Brighter Shores" being praised for its high polish and optimization despite lacking the core elements that fans appreciate in "Runescape" and "OSRS." In contrast, "Reconquer Online" is noted for its understanding of the original game's appeal, but it suffers from a lack of polish and optimization.
- “Brighter Shores is a very highly polished, well-optimized game that enhances the overall experience.”
- “The optimization in this game really stands out, making gameplay smooth and enjoyable.”
- “The developers have done an excellent job in optimizing the game, ensuring that it runs efficiently and effectively.”
- “Playing this and Brighter Shores back-to-back was interesting, given that Brighter Shores seems to neglect many aspects of what people love about original RuneScape and OSRS, yet it's a very highly polished, well-optimized game. In contrast, ReConquer Online has nothing resembling polish at all, yet the developer seems to understand what people really loved about RS/OSRS.”
- “The optimization in this game is severely lacking, leading to frequent crashes and long loading times that ruin the overall experience.”
- “Despite the interesting gameplay, the poor optimization makes it frustrating to play, as performance issues are a constant distraction.”
