The textures, lighting, skyboxes, shadows, models, environments, and post-processing effects are all of a very high grade, and do wonders to immerse the player in the alien world of Gliese.

I haven't experienced any lag issues so far and had all the chunks loaded before entering a certain location - perfect!
