The game lacks a coherent story, with multiple reviewers noting that it has no narrative elements and is essentially a collection of short missions. Players report a very limited playtime of about one to two hours, often leading to repetitive gameplay. Overall, the absence of a storyline is a significant drawback for many users.
- “Yes, it has a pretty short playtime, no storyline, unfinished, etc., but it's exactly as it says on the box.”
- “The content is extremely short; you will get maybe an hour, 2 at most of playtime out of this game before you complete everything and will have to repeat your already completed missions. This is proved by my playtime and that of all the other reviewers below.”
- “Each mission is very short, and I am yet to find a way to merge them all together.”

The game's optimization is generally praised, with users reporting solid performance at 90 fps, especially when using high resolutions.

- “Note the game needs 90 fps; there was some weird semi-stuttering in 80 Hz, but 90 Hz was perfect.”
