    The game's graphics are hindered by a lack of support for modern screen resolutions, resulting in a user interface that fails to scale appropriately. This limitation detracts from the overall visual experience.

    • “What also doesn't help is that the game is not made for the screen resolutions we use today, as the graphical user interface does not scale up or down depending on your screen resolution.”
