The graphics in the game are polarizing; while some players appreciate the retro raycast aesthetic, others criticize the overall quality, describing them as ugly and lacking polish. Despite a distinct art style and some effort put into the visuals, there are no graphical options available, which limits customization. Overall, the graphics receive mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the unique look while others find it disappointing.
- “Good for players who are looking for more of that raycast-type aesthetic, rather than a more polished ZDoom experience.”
- “Good graphics, fun weapons, good music and sound effects, and good controls.”
- “Despite having a distinct art style (the main reason I came to this game, the other reason being a 75% discount resulting in about 1€ purchase), it has some drawbacks.”
- “Secondly, while some effort went into the graphics, no thought was put into them.”
- “So after accepting the changes, getting back to the main menu, and starting a new game, you'll notice very quickly how bad the movement is, how bad the controls are, how ugly the graphics are, and how bad the gunplay is.”
- “- No graphical options.”

The gameplay is characterized by a mix of frustrating controls, including janky mouse aim and slow bullets, which detracts from the overall fun. While it draws inspiration from classic FPS games like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, featuring fast-paced arena combat and progressively stronger weapons, the stiff movement mechanics hinder the experience.
- “Cyber Utopia is an old-school FPS that I loved; it reminds me of Corridor 7 for some reason, but plays like Wolfenstein 3D. It's a fast-paced arena FPS, aka old-school FPS, without a reload mechanic and weapons that get stronger and stronger, kind of like Doom but with maze-level design.”
- “Combine the start/stop movement, janky mouse aim control, and slow bullets, and you have a recipe for gameplay I'd call the complete opposite of something fun.”
- “Stiff movement mechanics.”

The game's art contributes to a decent atmosphere, despite its simplicity; however, the janky RGM engine and the short length of only five levels make it feel more like a demo than a complete experience.
- “The art is nice, and they've managed to create a decent atmosphere for such a simple game.”
- “The art is nice and they've managed to create some decent atmosphere for such a simple game, but the RGM engine is extremely janky, and the game is only about five levels long, feeling more like a demo than anything.”
