The graphics in the game receive mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the visual quality, particularly the effects like sunlight on water and the upgraded UI, others find the overall aesthetic generic and uninspired. Additionally, there are concerns about performance issues, with reports of high GPU usage and overheating even on low settings, which detracts from the gaming experience.

- “Nice graphics with upgraded UI and icons.”
- “Nice graphics with upgraded UI and icons.”
- “Everything just seems generic in the game: sounds, animations, buildings, graphics, and loot.”
- “Setting the game completely on low settings decreases the graphics, but my graphic card still goes up to almost 90°C and is permanently at 100% usage. This has never happened before, not even in Halo Infinite. Because of this problem, I am unable to play, and I don't think the issue is with my NVIDIA 2060 RTX 6GB.”
- “The graphics are underwhelming, and the overall experience feels generic, which detracts from the enjoyment of the game.”

The optimization in the game has been criticized as severely lacking, with users noting that it struggles to utilize even 50% of system resources, a stark contrast to other titles like Elden Ring and God of War. While some acknowledge that the game is in alpha, the overall performance issues are a significant concern.
- “Not even Elden Ring or God of War use anything close to 50%. I understand that it's an alpha, but the optimization is clearly horrible.”

The atmosphere of the game is criticized for being empty and lacking depth, with many players feeling it resembles an asset flip rather than a fully realized world. The survival mechanics are described as basic and incomplete, contributing to a frustrating experience that detracts from immersion. Overall, the game's environment fails to engage players, leaving them dissatisfied.
- “Update 1.0.85: still a horrible experience, the world is empty as usual, zombies are overtuned, the crafting system feels clunky and overwhelmingly incomplete, the pickaxe still doesn't do anything (you pick small rocks with your hand lol) and the entire atmosphere is just an asset flip with basic survival systems (which doesn't work, as most types of resources are missing like animals).”

Players express frustration with the gameplay, describing it as lacking substance and feeling like a cash grab, particularly criticizing the time investment required to unlock content without the option for refunds. Many are hopeful for future updates that might enhance the gameplay experience.
- “The cards feel like a final cash grab, as I needed a whopping 4 hours to get all 3 of them. You can't refund, so I'll be back in a few months to see if they finally add gameplay to their 'game'.”
