The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players highlighting significant bugs, such as levitating animals and frustrating mechanics that detract from the experience. While some appreciate the realistic elements and concept, others find the solo mode dull and the controls overly complicated, leading to a painful overall experience. Players express a desire for improvements and bug fixes to enhance the gameplay quality.
“But it has good gameplay (just don't go on solo mode, it's boring as heck with almost zero AI) and WolfQuest is epic and really realistic.”
“Brilliant concept and love the music, just really hope they polish out the bugs and refine the mechanics...”
“I personally found the controlling mechanics to be rather over the top/difficult to handle, especially dealing with the tractor!”
“Bugged af, animals are levitating, bugged raccoon, it's really different gameplay from the trailer.”
“Most of my 'gameplay' consisted of either: the loading screen being stuck at 90% for ages, my wife getting killed by a wild hog for no reason, my wolf getting killed by my 'allies', me trying to load wood into my truck and falling out of the map, me trying to complete quests to revive my master and my master never coming back from the dead.”
“I personally found the controlling mechanics to be rather over the top and difficult to handle, especially dealing with the tractor, and being unable to move my screen while crafting as a human.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its disjointed quest system, where missions often feel random and mismatched to the player's character, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. Players report issues such as unresponsive loading screens and illogical character deaths, detracting from the overall narrative immersion.
“Most of my gameplay consisted of either: the loading screen being stuck at 90% for ages, my wife getting killed by a wild hog for no reason, my wolf getting killed by my allies, me trying to load wood into my truck and falling out of the map, me trying to complete quests to revive my master and my master never coming back from the dead.”
“The quest system, though I appreciate its implementation, needs a lot of work.”
“Many quests are chosen at random and either don't match with your animal at all, or are at such a level that makes it impossible to complete.”

“There's only one song that plays on the loading screens, which gets annoying very quickly.”
