The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying the gun mechanics and crafting systems, but criticizing the numerous bugs, janky animations, and traversal issues. While some found the combat engaging and reminiscent of classic titles, others noted that the AI is simplistic and the backtracking can feel tedious.

- “If you aren't in it for the story and you just enjoy gameplay, you can find enjoyment in this title.”
- “Overall, what Ferocious may lack in a compelling story, individuality, or cutting-edge graphics, it certainly makes up for with engaging gameplay, innovative mechanics, fluid movement, and the right amount of jank to seal the deal for me.”
- “The game lacks any coherent identity, in both gameplay and visuals.”
- “Unbelievably jank, full of holes you'll fall into and can't back out of, bullet sponges, and gameplay and graphics that remind me of a late 2000s game.”
- “So far the gameplay feels wonky, and feels nothing like what we saw advertised; I know that's all cinematics and stuff, but still, you should have your game still feel like its cinematics.”

The developers are working on them, so I'll be happy to play through the game fully again to see the intended experience.”

The game's optimization has received largely negative feedback, with many players reporting significant bugs, stuttering, and crashes, even on high-end systems. While some users experienced smooth performance, the consensus is that the game is poorly optimized and requires substantial improvements to be enjoyable. Overall, it is seen as a work in progress that needs further development before it can be recommended.

- “So far I like it, great performance on 4K between 110 and 150 FPS (on RTX 4080).”
- “Great bones for a great game underneath the poor optimization and the laundry list of bugs.”
- “Too boring, poorly optimized; my RTX 3070 can't reach 100 FPS.”
- “With all my heart, I cannot really recommend this game right now; it's a mess from every point of view. Technically speaking, it has memory leak issues from Unity, performance degrading even with a 5080 and i9 13900k. This game needs to be put in the oven again for more cooking; nowhere near 1.0. Please do make it clear that it is in early access because it feels like I'm still playtesting.”

- “Story is a little over the top and the crafting is a little gimmicky, but the atmosphere and ambience are really well done.”

grinding
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game, with some enjoying the combat but finding the resource gathering process tedious due to lengthy animations and the need for repeated interactions. While the low price point may encourage some to keep the game, many express reluctance to engage in grinding until improvements are made.
- “Actually obtaining the materials is pretty much always a pickup interaction with a 'hold F' then wait for the animation. I'm not a fan of this; very quickly it becomes slow and tedious. A quick pickup without the animation and hold key would be a much better fit to keep pacing.”
- “On another note, this game looks like a mashup of Ark and Far Cry but plays exactly like The Forest with dinosaurs. All in all, 5/10. I think I'll keep it in my library because of the low price point, but I'm not sure I'm going to be grinding it out until it gets some more patches.”
