Many of the reactions have focused on how DLSS 5 turns in-game faces into overly detailed, uncanny valley versions of the original models. Reactions have compared the effect to air-brushed pornography, "yassified, looks-maxed freaks", or those uncanny, unavoidable Evony ads. Others have noted how DLSS 5 seems to mangle the intended art direction by dampening shadows in favor of a homogenized look.
