The gameplay is described as a fun blend of classic and new mechanics reminiscent of CS:GO, with particular praise for its engaging features. However, some players feel that the time-slowing mechanic, which could enhance the experience, is underutilized. Overall, while the game has enjoyable elements, it may not fully satisfy those seeking a CS:GO-like experience.
“Rather fun CS:GO mimic with new and old cobalt mechanics.”
“Well-made game with fun mechanics.”
“I wish there were a bit more of the time-slowing mechanic, because that seems to be a big seller for the game; however, I barely ever see it used in-game besides the occasional time bomb.”

“I got excited for this... it sucks. If you want the game mode, get CS:GO; if you want the gameplay, get Cobalt.”

Reviewers emphasize the need for better advertising to enhance the game's visibility and success, suggesting that implementing skippable ads on platforms like YouTube could significantly boost its popularity.
“The monetization system feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without constant interruptions.”
“I can't believe how many ads pop up; it ruins the immersion and makes me want to quit.”
“The in-game purchases are way too expensive for what you get, and it feels like a cash grab.”
