The study addresses the problem of creating realistic reverberation sound effects in computer games. The primary features of existing reverberation generation methods are outlined, including the complexity of manual sound parameter adjustments, the static nature of models, and limited adaptability to the geometry of the game environment. It was determined that the problem of creating realistic reverberation effects for computer games is achievable only when using modern approaches that reduce manual tuning and increase the adaptability of sound parameters. Based on the analysis, it was determined that there are significant obstacles that reduce the realism of acoustic accompaniment using available methods.
