  • stability
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its graphics and overall performance, while others report significant issues such as frame rate drops and texture rendering problems.

    • “Cool game, more or less good graphics; optimization is good, guns feel heavy and satisfying.”
    • “Really good game but not great optimization. Skyrim Special Edition runs with twice the frame rate at the same resolution and max settings. The game is definitely a fun shooter with some vehicles thrown in, but it needs work on the debugging side of it. It's very hard to play when you get an odd jitter because textures aren't being drawn properly. Other than that, really good game!”
    • “Wtf, this is badly optimized. This is so trash.”
    • “-bad optimization”
  • story
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

It is in an early alpha stage, and while the environment is described as expansive, the overall experience feels incomplete and in need of significant improvements, including a compelling storyline.

    • “It is branded early alpha in-game, where it reads 'pre-alpha' on another spot, classic Unreal 4 clickbait (graphics on epic settings so terrible you want to cry), there are theoretically 2 languages (Russian and English) but clicking on ru and/or en buttons does nothing... no campaign, no story, no players.”
