The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the stunning visuals for the low price, while others criticize the use of low-polygon, minimalist assets that resemble outdated 1990s designs. The lack of resolution options and texture detail has led to perceptions of laziness in development, overshadowing the game's aesthetic appeal. Overall, the graphics are seen as a compromise between affordability and quality.
“The graphics are stunning, and for a dollar?”
“Fun game for the price, I wish it was a little more aesthetic though.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to disguise it under the name of 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
