Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are not bad BUT you will need a very good computer to run this like you see in the screenshots, it's not optimized at all, there's frame drops often.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

If u are looking for a co-op game and watch ur friend get jumpscared by a doll, don’t hesitate, buy it now.
