lol they’re really leaning into the water area aesthetic hard. bubbly basin looks like they took the vibes from wet-dry world and just committed to it.

just dropped the new water-type area and it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Not my lane on the game side but if that water area’s got dynamic reflections running at 60fps on that hardware I’m curious what they cut elsewhere to afford it. usually a tradeoff hiding somewhere.
