The game's optimization is notably poor, with players experiencing significant performance issues, including low frame rates of 15-20 fps despite meeting recommended system requirements. Additionally, gameplay mechanics, such as shooting accuracy and glitches in specific sections, further detract from the overall experience.
- “The game is 5/10. At the start, the graphics looked pretty decent, but I immediately noticed performance issues, getting around 15-20 fps even though my laptop system is slightly above the recommended system requirements. Shooting the gun was also a bit annoying, considering that the bullets go below the crosshair and that the crosshair looks too big. Some parts of the game were fine, but one of them, the part where you have to escape the truck, was very glitchy.”

The gameplay has received criticism for the helicopter boss fight, as players feel it lacks challenge due to the helicopter's attacks missing their target. Many suggest the addition of a dodge mechanic to enhance the experience.
- “The helicopter boss was disappointing because it shoots way above your head and doesn't actually target you. A dodge mechanic would improve the experience.”
