graphics
3 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe graphics have been criticized as poorly executed pixel art, lacking the quality and detail expected in modern games. Reviewers suggest that the subpar visuals detract from the overall experience, drawing unfavorable comparisons to successful titles that managed to thrive despite similar aesthetic choices.
“This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
“It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
“Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
