    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are visually appealing, but it has strict system requirements that limit compatibility, particularly with integrated graphics cards and certain Intel models. Players are advised to ensure their systems meet the necessary specifications to avoid issues, as the game may not function properly on unsupported hardware.

    • “The game itself is pretty nice, I guess, if you have a computer that is able to run it. It does not work with most Intel and some other graphics cards, as it kicks you back to the main menu if you try. My computer initially tried to run it with my integrated Intel graphics, so I had to set my computer to use my NVIDIA card instead via some settings in Windows/NVIDIA Control Panel.”
    • “Check the system requirements if you plan on getting it, as it requires an appropriate graphics card to run the physics.”
    • “The game itself is pretty nice, I guess, if you have a computer that is able to run it. It does not work with most Intel and some other graphics cards; it kicks you back to the main menu if you try. My computer tried to run it with my integrated Intel graphics at first, so I had to set my computer to use my NVIDIA card instead via some settings in Windows/NVIDIA Control Panel.”
    • “There's no reason for this game not to run on integrated graphics cards.”
    • “Most graphics cards are not compatible.”

    • “Terrible laggy gameplay.”
    • “There is a voxel physics engine, but the gameplay around it is muddled.”
    • “I just think it is a very muddled gameplay loop which causes it to lack an identity.”
