The story aspect of the game is generally well-received for its realism and engaging missions, but many players express a strong desire for more content, including additional missions and vehicles. Complaints about bugs and mission completion issues detract from the overall experience, leading to frustration among users who feel the game lacks sufficient variety and depth after completing the initial campaign.

“Story part is nice.”
“Outstanding game, fantastic attention to detail, very easy to play with great missions/jobs.”
“Awesome missions.”
“This game is filled with bugs; you can't even complete the missions. It's a worthless game, and I wasted my money for nothing. I don't recommend it; this game is not for fun, it's to make you mad.”
“If 0 was an opinion, I would give it that because I can't get past the first opening mission. As soon as I go through the first light, the screen goes blank and won't let me do anything.”
“Awful! It doesn't let you complete missions and won't show you what to do next.”

“I used to play this game and it runs great; however, since I switched to a Huawei P30, I think it should not be a problem at first.”
“I've been waiting for an update for 2 years now; they didn't add the steering wheel option, they didn't fix the glitches and the bugs.”
“The game is cool, but when I try to deliver certain things, it just freezes up and doesn't register that the mission is still going, and the vehicles keep freezing in place.”
“If you buy this game, enjoy always having nothing but glitches and constant problems.”

“After switching devices, I lost all progress and in-app purchases.”
