The finding
56% of the 1119 written Steam reviews for Nivalis Nights mention frame rate.
That includes positive reviews — players praising the city and the story while describing the game as unplayable on their hardware. The complaint rate sits between 29% and 60% in every language with a usable sample, which points at the build rather than a regional problem. And the game ships with no DLSS, no FSR and no XeSS, so there is no in-game lever to pull.
What is here

The publisher markets 240 ingredients, 190 recipes, 620 furniture pieces and 135 characters. Those numbers come from pre-release material, and not one of them has been verified by any site — including ours. Several competitors have already published detailed tables for them, citing fish prices, vendor restock schedules and profit margins that cannot have come from a game that had not launched.
A wiki whose every data page is invented is worse than a wiki that publishes nothing, because a reader in a hurry cannot tell which is which. So this site starts with the half of the game that is actually observable from outside — the build's performance and the players' own reports — and will add the catalogue when someone has the game to extract it.
When that happens, every row will carry the same standard as this page: measured, cited, and never estimated.

this is one of the coolest games ive ever seen but the performance is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MISERABLE they need to optimize this game so bad how do I get worse frames on this than cyberpunk2077 at psycho RT
Unfortunately the game has very poor performance. In quite a few areas I go below 60 FPS with the lowest hitting 35 FPS while on high settings. There also seems to be no difference in performance regardless of what settings i use. PC Specs: 1440p Resolution …
有点难评。 我将这款游戏加入愿望单的时间是2022年，准确来说是我第一款加入愿望单的游戏。我就这样期待了四年，终于在2026年国庆假期开始的时候玩到了这款游戏，开放购买那一刻立马付款，但半个小时的游戏经历就将我弄得头晕眼花，稍微提几点吧。 1.游戏的地图止步于指出不同的大区域，而当你进入到具体区域之后想要辨别方向只能靠着之前的经验瞎走。这一点在一个赛博风的花里胡哨的像素游戏中导致了灾难般的效果。举例来说，玩家进入的第一个区域有着大量的店铺，商贩，而当你想要去到具体你想要去的那个地方，你大概率要在这个充斥着光污染的 …
How current this is
The review corpus is re-fetched and re-published weekly, so a patch that fixes the frame rate shows up here as the sentiment shifting — which is the one thing a hand-written wiki can never do.

Is Nivalis Nights Playable? The Frame Rate Answer
Short answer: yes, but not at the frame rate the recommended spec implies, and not without an in-game fix. Here is what 1,096 first-week reviews actually say.
Editorial
Why the Pre-Launch Guides for This Game Are Wrong
Six fan wikis rank for Nivalis Nights. Several have published fish prices, vendor schedules and profit margins for a game that had not launched. Here is how to tell, and what to do instead.
