The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for being poor and outdated, with a maximum resolution of only 1650x1200 and visuals that resemble a 16-bit game, particularly in terms of blocky shadows. Users report significant optimization issues, resulting in low frame rates even on high-end hardware, and many hope for future updates to address these graphical shortcomings. Overall, the current state of the graphics is seen as a major drawback.
“Poor graphics (max resolution is 1650x1200, and that for a game that was released in November 2016), poorly optimized (52 fps on an i7-4790k with two GTX 980s), poor controls, buggy.”
“The graphics on 'ultra' are about equivalent to a 16-bit game; shadows are very blocky.”
“I will keep an eye on updates; hopefully they can get some of the bugs fixed, then maybe a bit of a graphics improvement and I'll reevaluate and update my review.”
