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.
“The graphical look and the low price are positive, which should tide me over until the release of Unrecord.”
“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.”
“At first, I thought it would be great to finally have a single-player mode like the future Unrecord, plus the graphics look like they belong in a bodycam.”

The monetization of this game is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users noting that it relies on poorly implemented 3D assets and lacks genuine development effort. Many feel that the game is not worth its price, suggesting it can be found for free elsewhere, and express skepticism about future updates due to potential legal issues. Overall, the sentiment is that the game prioritizes profit over quality.
“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.”

“Especially the 'abandoned building' map, which looks more like a 1:1 recreation of Unrecord's first gameplay trailer.”
“Gameplay - it's a 2-day-old game (from the time of review), but it's still in a more playable state than some others.”

“The story is filled with tons of unserious text, like 'this is a difficult mission!!!', and is riddled with simple spelling errors. The main menu music quickly becomes repetitive, and I lost track of the game's theme, which feels inconsistent between serious and arcade styles. It seriously feels like I'm stuck in a TikTok edit.”
“The narrative lacks depth and coherence, making it hard to stay engaged. The dialogue often feels forced and juvenile, detracting from any serious themes the game attempts to convey.”
