The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it boring due to distracting camera movements and frequent slow-motion effects during chaotic moments. However, the solid mechanics and impressive destructible environments provide an enjoyable experience, particularly in combat and large-scale destruction. Overall, while there are notable flaws, the core gameplay elements can still be fun.
“In its current state, it is very fun just to try the combat mechanics and the large scale destruction and, I guess, carnage?”
