The game's graphics are criticized for their lazy minimalist style, featuring untextured low-polygon assets that evoke a poorly executed 3D aesthetic reminiscent of early 1990s games. Reviewers express frustration with the lack of detail and artistry, suggesting that this approach is a cover for a lack of effort and talent, resulting in a visually unappealing experience that detracts from the overall gameplay.
“The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and intricate details that truly bring the game world to life.”
“The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene a visual treat.”
“The character models are beautifully designed, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.”
“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.”
“Boring, bland, and downright terrible graphics; it wouldn't be a problem if the gameplay worked, but...”
“It 'only' runs at 150fps on my rig, which usually does 200fps for BF1 or similar titles on high graphical settings.”
