The gameplay is whilst looks like it is a very generic fighting game, it feels different.

The majority of Zeno Clash's graphics are really top notch; something we should expect from a Source Engine game though.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.

This Game Also Runs Pretty Well On Low-End Devices Which I'm Very Surprised It Did As I Played This On A Windows 11 Laptop And It Ran a Average of Maybe 20-30 Fps Throughout The Game.
