Overall, the visuals are considered a major drawback, with many reviewers expressing disappointment in their execution.

    • “Graphics look quality and nice.”

    • “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to hire someone who can create graphical assets properly, or a lack of talent. Regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”
    • “While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunky control scheme to the less-than-cutting-edge graphics.”
