Reviewers feel that the game's atmosphere suffers due to a lack of detailed animations in the backgrounds, such as burning buildings and dynamic weather effects, which detracts from the overall immersive experience. They suggest that more effort in these areas could significantly enhance the game's ambiance.
“The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, with stunning visuals that draw you into the world.”
“The sound design enhances the atmosphere, making every moment feel intense and engaging.”
“The combination of lighting and environmental effects creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that lingers long after playing.”
“Greater efforts could have been placed into the animations of both the backgrounds, such as burning buildings, passing aircraft, clouds, and rain, to add atmosphere rather than just placing mundane whitewashed backdrops.”
“The game lacks a sense of immersion; the environments feel lifeless and uninspired, failing to draw players into the world.”
“Despite the potential for a rich atmosphere, the repetitive sound design and bland visuals make it hard to feel engaged or invested in the setting.”
