The story aspect of the game features a variety of missions with different backstories, but many players find them too short and lacking depth, often completing them in just a couple of minutes. While the game attempts to portray real-life law enforcement situations through dialogue and mission structure, the lack of memorable moments and unclear mission conclusions detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the limited number of maps and issues with the tutorial further hinder the narrative engagement.
- “Next is the variety of missions; there are loads of callouts already in the game with a variety of maps and backstories.”
- “When you arrive at the actual scene, there will usually be some conversation with a person of interest that can dictate how the mission can go, presented (of course) in a Mass Effect dialogue wheel.”
- “The tutorial also soft-locked when introducing civilians and suspects, so I just quit it and moved on to the missions.”
- “The missions in [i]code 3[/i] are very simple, with the intent to portray situations law enforcement officers have to deal with in real life.”
- “This is how every single mission in [i]code 3[/i] goes: spawn, dialogue, fight, secure, win.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered decent for an early access indie title, with some users expressing satisfaction but also a desire for further improvements. While the visuals are not next-gen and may lack realism, they are acceptable given the game's development stage. However, concerns about clarity and overall quality persist, with some players feeling that the graphics do not justify the current price.
- “I will be honest from my personal opinion, I understand that it is early access, but the cost is too high, given how some games are abandoned. It is not bad as a game, but it gave me the impression of playing a similar game that few people know (CTU on Steam) which is an abandoned game. Only in this game, the graphics are better, but I don't see much realism.”
- “This is a really good game. It's in early access, and you might find a bug or two, but I like the game because it's made by real police. Also, it can get your heart pumping when you go to a call; the graphics are good, and I like the gameplay.”
- “I would if it let you roam free as it shows and drive all that but it doesn't. I just glitched at a legal casino downstairs and couldn't move after the lady called to her boss Tony. Honestly wishing I never got the game; the graphics are decent, other than that though.”
- “This game is an early access indie game being built by a small team, so I understand that the graphics won't be immensely next-gen.”
- “Graphic is not clear 100%.”

The gameplay is characterized by a self-aware approach that humorously critiques the early access model while providing a comprehensive tutorial on various weapons and mechanics, such as compliance and arresting. Players can expect to engage with a diverse arsenal, including pistols, shotguns, and more, as they navigate the game's systems.
- “The game cleverly addresses the player while playfully mocking the concept of early access, which is ironic since it is indeed an early access game. The tutorial effectively covers the various weapons (pistol, M4, shotgun, taser, AK-47, baton) and mechanics (compliance, arresting) that players will utilize throughout their experience.”
- “The gameplay is riddled with irony, as it mocks the concept of early access while being an early access game itself.”
- “The tutorial covers the various weapons and mechanics, but it feels more like a chore than an engaging introduction to the gameplay.”
- “Overall, the gameplay lacks depth and fails to provide a compelling experience.”

- “The music in this game creates an immersive atmosphere that draws you in from the very start.”
- “The soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, enhancing every moment with its dynamic range.”
- “Each track is carefully crafted, making the music not just a background element but a core part of the experience.”
- “When loading into the main menu, the first thing the player will notice is blood coming from their ears due to how loud the music is.”
