Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
EDIT: i forgot to mention that the game forced itself to start in 4k and would show me absolutely nothing on the screen since it didnt run in 4k scaled down to fit my monitor, but a 4k image displaying as much as it would fit on my screen at one time (so, the top right 1080 pixels. i fixed it with windows compatibility settings to get it to run at a super small resolution, and then i think i managed to edit the resolution in game to 1920*1080 where it actually ran properly from then on. ridiculous decision for an indie game with pixel graphics that could run on your nans laptop to try and force full 4k resolution.
