- “With incomparable action-packed gameplay from a variety of weapon choices, to the breathtaking graphics and attention to detail that will leave you speechless.”
- “What is joy, and sadness, after 3 hours I discovered most glitches and spots. After 5 hours of gameplay, I was playing with bots, even though this mode is not supported. This is hideous; a silence and loneliness can be more powerful than actual coding. I discovered that if you throw yourself out of a building and quickly respond and run to that spot, you can still quick scope your falling body for a solid 20 seconds.”

The monetization model of the game is criticized for being misleading, as it is essentially a free-to-play advertisement that requires additional payments for DLC to access the full content, primarily cosmetic items.

- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as full games is misleading and harmful.”
