The gameplay is generally engaging and features well-thought-out mechanics, but players express frustration with inventory management, particularly due to a new mechanic that restricts dropping heavy item stacks, leading to tedious situations. While the survival elements and character progression offer potential for improvement, the current design choices create unnecessary complications that detract from the overall experience. Players hope for further polish and additional mechanics to enhance the game's unique appeal.
- “The gameplay is engaging, honestly.”
- “Overall the mechanics are well thought out.”
- “I really want to see it become a major game, with more mechanics, a more polished game loop, and a solid unique experience, because there aren't many games like this one.”
- “It requires me so much management time to try and empty space to break things down, but you cannot move anything if it would potentially overencumber you. You can't even drop items if the weight would exceed 90 lbs, so you are stuck in this limbo of having too much of something you can't move, but you can't drop it because it weighs too much. There's a new mechanic in the game where you literally cannot drop item stacks that weigh 90 or more, and I can't break them down to make space because there aren't enough inventory slots to fit everything since everything is weight-based, not slot-based.”
- “I put in too much work to be locked out by a new mechanic that just makes things more tedious by decreasing stack limits.”
- “There are some (lack of) quality of life features that make no sense gameplay-wise and design-wise, unless you count needless padding.”

The story features absurd and exaggerated missions, such as consuming vast amounts of food and water, which can lead to a sense of monotony if players don't engage in high-reward tasks. However, the narrative is hindered by slow upgrades, performance issues, and a lack of proximity crafting, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “The upgrade process is slow, and you constantly need food and water during missions.”
- “The cart tends to break too quickly, and the lack of proximity crafting is frustrating. Performance is janky, and you will be bored if you don't get big loot missions.”
