The game's optimization has received mixed feedback, particularly from users with lower-end hardware, as it struggles to perform well on less powerful machines despite those machines being capable of running more demanding titles effectively.
“Performance isn't perfect on a potato machine like the laptop I'm currently using, which is surprising, seeing as it's able to run much more demanding games such as Book of Demons really well.”
