The graphics in the game have been criticized for being subpar, with many users noting that they appear dark and lack sufficient lighting effects. While some improvements over previous versions are acknowledged, the overall visual quality is deemed disappointing.
“Graphics look awful and very dark; there are no lights on anything you drive.”
“For instance, this game is just Airport Simulator 2019 with de-icer trucks and slightly improved visuals... that's it.”

The game suffers from severe optimization issues, causing GPUs to overheat shortly after launch, regardless of the limited settings available. Many players report that the game opens in an unoptimized state, often only displaying the options and exit buttons.
“There is no optimization to speak of; fully expect your GPU to turn into a hot plate within five minutes of booting the game up, regardless of the limited Unity presets you can pick from.”
“The game opened so unoptimized that I only saw the options and exit button upon loading.”

Gameplay is criticized for its simplicity, primarily revolving around basic driving tasks, which can lead to unexpected mechanical failures, such as vehicles sustaining damage even during straightforward maneuvers.
“Buses accumulate mechanical damage just by being driven in a straight line. I repaired mine one night, and it totaled itself driving out of the hangar the next day (!?).”
“Gameplay seems to be a tad simplistic, basically drive here, drive there.”
