Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
On the positive notes the game has really good ambience and aesthetics, it is really good on that front that the game looks very good on the higher tiers of graphics quality and it really is a beauty, I also like the UI a lot, very crisp unless you’re using scaling, but that is an issue WITH scaling in general, so it is not a complaint
