The graphics in the game have been widely criticized for their dated appearance, often compared to titles from the Nintendo 64 era or even earlier, reminiscent of 90s games. Many players express frustration over locked settings that prevent customization, and while some are indifferent to the visuals, others feel that improved graphics could significantly enhance the overall experience. Additionally, optimization issues have led to poor performance, particularly in VR, further detracting from the visual experience.
- “I honestly don't mind the graphics, but better graphics would surely take this game up a notch.”
- “The graphic features are mostly turned off by default for VR, so turn them back on if your PC can handle it.”
- “If you're the kind of gamer that likes to tweak the settings for each game to optimize the visuals and framerates, you're out of luck.”
- “The graphics themselves looked like a game from the 90s; the horizon was green... green!”
- “Bad: the graphics are fine, but definitely dated when compared to other games in the genre (IL2, WT, WoWP). My bias is at play here; I'm fine with the looks, but many new/younger players may be turned off by it.”
