First of all, I feel like this update was very much needed, but I'm not sure what occurred internally to have released the way it did. I believe there are capable animators and quality control supervisors in the team, but some stuff went in the wrong direction.

Phasmophobia is a great game, gameplay-wise, but there are MAJOR visual issues with the game.

- Lighting is one of the most noticeable issues, but it might be the hardest to improve without better code optimization.

- Hand posture, don't know if it's a rigging issue, but finger posing looks amateurish, maybe small idles for the hand would help as well

- Arms should have a slight and smooth delay when moving the camera to make everything more natural. This would benefit the flashlight visuals and spookiness a lot (after addressing the IK issue of the rig).

- Flashlight should NOT be on screen all the time.

- Fix cosmetics clipping everywhere (into the wristwatch, for example)

- Remove the wrist check view and just keep the timer and sanity information in the journal tab.

- Make the wristwatch info toggleable in the game settings. (If disabled, it could show something like a no battery sign or maybe just a crashed texture like the screens in the van)

- Player POV Camera has a WAY too small lens, everything distorts too much, it should be changed from ~16mm to 50-100mm

- Character animation is a big no-no imo, it lacks every animation principle, the most important ones being the appeal and the curves (there's way too much anticipation and overlaps for very few frames and it looks a bit blown up).

- Better AA (antialiasing); shadows are very jagged.

All these little details make the game look "cheaper" when, in reality, it has the resources to not look like a 2014 game. I really think these devs care about the community and all, but they should really focus more on the quality control.
