The game suffers from significant stability issues, particularly with a recurring glitch that causes bosses to freeze and become unresponsive during encounters. While this presents potential for future improvements in the "gor3 universe," the current experience is marred by frequent bugs.
- “However, I must mention that there is often a glitch where the boss freezes in place when you summon him; he won't fire at you at all.”
- “Gives a lot more potential to the 'gor3 universe' in terms of future releases, but it is extremely buggy.”
