The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant performance issues, particularly on the Quest 2, leading to lag and inconsistency during gameplay. However, recent patches from the developer have improved performance for many users, resulting in a more enjoyable experience at higher frame rates. Overall, while there are still optimization concerns, ongoing support from the developer shows promise for future improvements.
“Most of the performance issues have been ironed out, and the game is extremely fun to play at a high frame rate.”
“The gore is insane, and the performance is great.”
“He really helped me with the performance of the game and patched in force-openxr the next day.”
“The only kind of negative thing about this game is the performance.”
“The one issue that I had is that for some reason it was very laggy (it might be my headset, but considering that the lag I experienced was different from the usual black flashing and stuttering, I'm going to assume it's just some things that weren't optimized). The gameplay is simple: go in, take out some guys, get paid, upgrade, repeat.”
“Performance on my system (Quest 2, even using the OpenXR mode) is super inconsistent and poor, especially when killing enemies.”

The game's story revolves around completing various missions, including optional side missions for additional rewards, which players find engaging. However, there are issues with mission execution and character customization, as outfits reset between missions. Overall, while the mission structure is well-received, optimization and performance could enhance the experience.
“In this game, you’re given missions with optional side missions to earn more money.”
“I love the weapons and missions, and the whole layout of the game is very well put together.”
“You are able to complete missions for money, which you can spend on character upgrades and new weapons.”
“Breach missions are broken, sadly.”
“One thing I have to say is that I found after I set my character's outfit and go into a mission, the outfit disappears and I have to put it on again.”
“It's a good game, but it would be much better with optimization for the Quest 2.”

The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics and satisfying dismemberment effects, providing a rewarding experience. However, players express a desire for further improvements, particularly in enhancing reactions to damage and increasing gore to maintain engagement, especially given the need to unlock weapons.
“The gameplay mechanics are very good, and the dismemberment is also very clean; it feels very satisfying.”
“Anyone who stepped into it was reduced to their base components as the physics engine surpassed the strength of the welding mechanic.”
“It gives a satisfying feeling, but I hope they continue to improve it. I would love to see more reactions when enemies get hurt and more gore to keep the gameplay from becoming repetitive, especially since you have to unlock your weapons.”
“The welding mechanic is flawed.”
“Anyone who stepped into it was reduced to their base components as the physics engine surpassed the strength of the welding mechanic.”
“While the gameplay gives a satisfying feeling, I hope they continue to improve it. I would love to see more reactions when characters get hurt and more gore to prevent the gameplay from becoming repetitive, especially since you have to unlock your weapons.”

The stability of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players experiencing significant issues such as freezing and glitches, particularly with sniper mechanics. However, others appreciate the game's potential and are willing to overlook these stability problems due to its early access status, noting occasional frame rate instability and buggy ragdolls. Overall, while there are notable stability concerns, some players remain optimistic about future improvements.
“You ever gonna fix your scopes and glitches? Two-handed does not work well with snipers.”
“Unplayable. I load into the warehouse or whatever it's called, I move around for 2 seconds, the game freezes, and a minute later I can move for 2 seconds, then it freezes again. This repeats for around 5 minutes, then I quit. Never playing this ever again.”
“There are a couple of issues like the unstable frame rate and buggy ragdolls, but I can look past that because it's in early access.”

The humor in the game is derived from the chaotic interactions when using tools like the nailgun and welder, often resulting in absurd situations where creations malfunction and cause unintended harm to the player. While this can be amusing, it may also lead to some frustration, particularly for new players still learning the mechanics.
“Using the nailgun and welder to create silly contraptions often leads to hilarious moments, like trying to holster a creation only for one part to be stashed away while the other hovers around, breaking your character apart. It's undeniably funny, though it can be a bit frustrating. I might just be missing how to properly store things since I've only played for a short time!”
“The game's humor shines through in its quirky mechanics, especially when your creations don't quite behave as expected, leading to laugh-out-loud moments.”
“I love how the game incorporates humor into its gameplay; the unexpected outcomes of my creations often result in comical situations that keep me entertained.”
