The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning realism and detail, often described as "photorealistic" and comparable to actual body camera footage. Many players note that the visuals create an immersive experience, enhancing the overall gameplay, although some have reported performance issues and optimization challenges, particularly on lower-end hardware. While the graphics are a major selling point, some reviews suggest that the gameplay itself may not live up to the same standard, leading to mixed feelings about the game's overall value.
- “Incredible graphics, intense close-quarters battle, fast-paced action, a unique concept that isn’t just a copy and paste of other games (body camera theme is epic), fun and interesting maps, great gunplay mechanics, awesome movement, and probably more that I'm yet to discover.”
- “The graphics are stunningly detailed — it truly feels like you’re looking through a real body camera.”
- “The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the sound design keeps you on edge—every footstep and gunshot feels dangerously close.”
- “The aesthetic and graphics are a work of art, but there are a few things I was not very pleased with, which led to me refunding it. The game is pretty unfinished and very boring; granted, it's early access, I still feel there should be more to do than just click into a server and play constant team deathmatch on one map.”
- “The worst part is that changing the graphics settings does little to nothing to alleviate the issue.”
- “The graphics are surprisingly pixelated, giving the game a dated and unpolished appearance.”

The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to the introduction of microtransactions in a paid title. While some users appreciate that skins can still be earned through gameplay, the removal of previously available customization options in favor of purchasable items has left many feeling frustrated and betrayed. Overall, the shift towards monetization appears to overshadow the game's development and player experience, leading to a lack of trust in the developers.
- “The monetization isn't a problem because you can get all the skins in the game for free by just playing, and the store rotates every 24 hours, meaning more skins and different skins every day.”
- “Although there are microtransactions, you can still earn the skins with in-game points that can be earned, so it's optional.”
- “But in order to keep the game running and develop it further, they need to make it profitable; that is why microtransactions are not an issue for me.”
- “The game was an obvious cash grab, no updates or communication from devs... this is one of the reasons people want to get rid of EA games.”
- “The fact that I spent hours getting my operator all kitted out just for it to be taken away for microtransactions is just plain stupidity, especially for a $45 game.”
- “Without a warning or consideration, a big part of the game has simply been cut away, things that players worked for have been taken, no appropriate compensation has been given, and instead, a load of overpriced microtransactions have been shoved in.”
