The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them merely adequate and plagued by issues such as FPS drops and graphical inconsistencies, particularly during winter. While a few users appreciate the overall visual quality and performance, many express that the graphics need significant optimization and improvement to enhance the gaming experience.
- “Graphics are great and so was performance.”

- “I've had to restart missions multiple times because vehicles got stuck or was unable to complete a task because the game didn't register a certain action.”
