The game's stability has been criticized for being buggy and confusing, with missing control information in the settings menu and significant visual glitches, such as snow obscuring visibility. These issues have led some players to hesitate in purchasing the game, waiting for a sale instead.
“After reading the reviews and learning how buggy and confusing this game is, I decided that it seemed like a fun game to play with my friends. However, I will only get it if it goes on sale.”
“My biggest issue was that not all of the controls are listed in the control section of the settings menu. For example, the shift key, used to run, isn't mentioned, nor is how to use health kits to heal yourself. The game doesn't clearly state if health kits are only used to revive or also to heal. Additionally, the snow glitches through any and all cover and can get so heavy that it becomes hard to see.”
