The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some praising the high-quality visuals and animations, likening them to those of advanced titles, while others criticize the overall aesthetic as reminiscent of older games like GTA: San Andreas. Despite the appealing graphical presentation, concerns about the game's depth and potential lack of future updates suggest that the visuals may not be enough to sustain long-term interest.

- “Good graphics and the best animations I have ever seen in a video game (like when you kill someone and then they fall).”
- “At first, I thought it would be great to finally have a single-player mode like the future Unrecord, plus the graphical look like in bodycam.”
- “Max graphics and the game looks like it came from GTA San Andreas.”
- “I think many more games will be released in the future with this graphical look; it's nothing more than a reshade filter.”

The music in the game, particularly the phonk tracks featured in the main menu, quickly becomes repetitive and detracts from the overall theme, leaving players feeling disconnected. Additionally, concerns about copyright issues and a lack of song credits have been raised, further diminishing the game's integrity. Overall, the music is seen as a derivative element that fails to enhance the gaming experience.
- “The phonk main menu music gets old quickly, and I lost the 'theme' of the game fast. It seriously feels like I'm in a TikTok edit.”
- “This game copies the phonk music blasting in your ear at the menu but doesn't bother to put up song names.”
- “I am 99% sure this game didn't license the trailer song either.”

The monetization of this game is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users noting that it offers minimal effort and quality for its price, relying on poorly implemented assets. Many recommend avoiding the purchase, suggesting that the game is not worth the $7 price tag and can be found for free elsewhere. Overall, the sentiment is that the game lacks genuine value and care, making it a poor investment.
- “This game is a cheap cash grab of a cash grab. Do not buy this game; you can find it on Steam Unlocked for free if you're really interested.”
- “I am certain this game is a cash grab and dead in the water. There's no care here; it's the bare minimum plus good graphics, and thanks to legal reasons, it probably won't be receiving any real updates as soon as the cease and desist letters start piling up.”
- “A zombie mode? Ah, the classic early access lie. These are pumped out by cash grabs because they're very easy to make.”

- “A single-player version of bodycam with gameplay very similar to Hotline Miami, but only using a pistol. There are four very challenging scenarios, and if you die, you have to repeat it all.”
