Part 4/10:
A core point of contention revolves around the game's main character and her visual design. Many viewers pointed out that the character model, which initially appeared promising, did not translate well in the game. Critics and fans alike questioned whether developers intentionally downgraded her attractiveness or altered her appearance in ways that seemed designed to make her less appealing.
This narrative echoes ongoing criticism within the industry about "uglification"—the phenomenon where female characters are intentionally made less attractive in games compared to their promotional models. Examples include Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West and Marvel’s MJ, where fans have observed discrepancies between concept art and final in-game visuals.
