    The gameplay offers enjoyable and immersive mechanics, with notable improvements in graphics and overall performance, though some features like hose controls and siren mechanics received mixed feedback. Players report bugs affecting AI behavior and fire scenarios, suggesting room for more interaction and polish. Ongoing updates and patches are expected to address these issues and enhance the experience.

    • “The graphics are absolutely insane compared to the older titles, and some of the new gameplay mechanics feel great.”
    • “Then gameplay is fun, there haven't been any game breaking bugs, and the performance is good even on highest settings.”
    • “Btw please bring back the gear retrieval mechanics from Emergency Call 2 (manually taking tools and equipment out of the truck). That added so much immersion to the gameplay!”
    • “If you want to play standard, bug-free gameplay right now I'd suggest waiting a bit with your purchase until more patches and optimizations arrive.”
    • “The hose mechanics are simply disgusting. It's a cool feature but with how it controls, having your screen move all the time whilst trying to put out a fire isn't a pleasure.”
    • “I suggest improving the gameplay - more interactive things to do, but I still recommend this. Hopefully things will improve.”

    The story aspect is widely criticized for its lack of content, repetitive and limited missions, and unfinished elements, making the early access experience feel incomplete and buggy. While some players see potential in the game's leveling and skill systems, many find the current mission design tedious and the early access price unjustified. Overall, the narrative and mission structure need significant improvement to engage players meaningfully.

    • “Ignoring the lack of missions, the game just isn't complete.”
    • “Charging the customer €25 for a playable alpha version (cheekily labeled "early access," of course, to drive sales)—where parts of the buildings lack textures entirely and nothing more than white polygon blocks, and you can play only three (!) missions (which are just minor trash dumpster fires)—is an absolute joke, and right now, I can only advise against buying it.”
    • “First 3 missions are just dumpster fires and trash fires.”

    The game's stability is currently plagued by frequent freezes, stutters, and bugs, which users attribute to its early access status. While these issues impact gameplay, they are expected at this stage and many players still find the experience worthwhile despite the instability. Overall, the game shows potential but requires further optimization to improve stability.

    • “After spending £22 and playing 1.7 hours, no matter how low I set the settings, the game just freezes and bugs out.”
    • “There were freezes of 5-15 seconds near the car when I had to get in.”
    • “I think it's going to be a good game, but it's too early to release it; too empty and buggy (the firetruck just runs through the cars on the road).”

    • “The graphics are absolutely insane compared to the older titles, and some of the new gameplay mechanics feel great.”
    • “With the new engine, it runs much better in terms of performance and graphics.”

    • “It feels like the graphics in the third installment have improved a lot, but there is still room for refinement.”
    • “With the new engine, the game runs better in terms of performance and graphics, but some visual aspects still appear lacking.”
