The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with numerous players reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and connection issues, even on stable internet connections. Many users express frustration over the game's performance, particularly after updates, which seem to introduce more bugs rather than resolve existing ones. Overall, while players enjoy the gameplay, the persistent technical problems significantly detract from their experience.
“The best game ever, no glitches. I've been playing since the start; amazing game.”
“Great game, runs great on most devices and is easy to play.”
“No glitches, no getting stuck in the game, no connection or internet loss.”
“Great game, really enjoy playing it, but there's one problem... when I'm playing the game it sometimes glitches and freezes, saying that there's no internet connection, but my internet connection is fine. Please fix this problem as it is starting to become annoying.”
“After the OB25 patch updates, the game has a maximum number of problems related to ping glitches and many more. Some of the issues are listed below: high ping problem, game bugs and glitches, matchmaking issue, game freezing, and many more. I hope this issue might be resolved quickly and hope the Garena employees take this issue seriously and solve it quickly.”
“I downloaded this game in 2020 when the Chrono event came. The game was smooth to play on my device and also it was too much fun. I played with my friends, etc. After updates and updates, the game honestly became trash. There are so many glitches, plus without character skills and gun skins, you are nothing. Honestly, after the OB25 update, the fonts and the sound effects changed, and that change made me uninstall the game because I don't get the vibe anymore.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant lag and performance issues, particularly after recent updates. While some users appreciate its ability to run on low-end devices, others express frustration over increased network ping and FPS drops, especially in high-stakes gameplay.

“The game is great and runs smoothly on 1GB RAM devices also but the graphics can be made more realistic and larger maps must be added.”
“I would say this game is horrendously unoptimized lately as the game doesn't run properly, causing FPS drops.”
“Don't download this game with every update; it doesn't bring optimization, it brings lag, bugs, and glitches. Please focus on optimization, I hardly request you!”
“The performance on low-end devices is poor; the game can use some optimization because the only way I could get it to run is with a GFX tool.”

The story aspect of the game is largely perceived as lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative or campaign mode. While the game features numerous missions that keep players engaged, there is a strong call for personalized missions and a storyline that explains the competitive nature of the gameplay, akin to popular narratives like "The Hunger Games." Overall, players appreciate the graphics and gameplay but feel that the absence of a cohesive story detracts from the overall experience.
“It would be cool to add a story timeline of why we have to fight each other like in the Hunger Games or something similar.”
“But I should also appreciate that your graphics, your backstory, and your creativity are just rapidly increasing!”
“And I can't compare this game with any other game; I have been playing this game for the last one and a half years, and every new update and event that comes is very interesting. It feels very engaging to complete all the missions and events.”
“This game is not a story mode game; everything should be responsive enough that you can turn fast and shoot.”
“The developers don't really care about how the game runs or what the story is; the only thing they want is your money.”
“This is not the original game we have seen last year; the concept is totally changed and only diamond spending events are more than in-game missions and rewards.”

“I love that song you all put your foot into it.”
“I've been playing for 4 years till now... new remix/music is full of awesomeness, it's put me back to full of old memories and good vibes with my friends.”
“Why does the music have to be that bad?”
“This new winter music sucks.”
“Garena, all the old players are leaving the game. Please make our game interesting like the old days. We had so much fun in 2019. Now there is nothing; all the new songs coming into the game are disgusting. Many players are off the music; no one wants to listen to it, so you should add our old music back.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on in-app purchases and the perceived pay-to-win model, which gives advantages to those who spend money. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, others feel that the game heavily pushes for microtransactions, making it difficult for free-to-play users to progress. Additionally, there are complaints about the unreliability of rewards from watching ads and the overall lack of balance in the game's economy.
“This game has no ads.”
“Its gaming experience, graphics, controls, in-game purchases, and overall cost (you'll still get good gaming experiences even if you play it for free, but paying makes it a lot more fun with all the skins and emotes) thus in every aspect of gaming it is the best among all other games in this category.”
“It is a free MMO battle royale, there are in-app purchases, but it isn't pay-to-win.”
“It's only advertising and advertising, no good stuff.”
“But the real issue is it has become a money-sucker game.. and we could just avoid the in-game purchases, but they give a huge advantage to the players who own it.. the gloo wall pet, and CR7 characters for example.. if you own them you are more likely to win.. this is the main damn issue!!”
“Full with microtransactions, no real added content despite being heavily monetized, scummy tactics by the developers such as rigged spins where you get the reward in the very last spin.”

The humor in the game is often described as a mix of slapstick and absurdity, with players finding amusement in glitches, cartoonish graphics, and quirky character movements. While some enjoy the lighthearted moments and funny interactions with friends, others express frustration over bugs and server issues that detract from the overall experience. Despite the complaints, many players still appreciate the game's comedic elements, which provide a source of entertainment amidst the challenges.
“The funny thing is I saw a man playing in training with a flying car.”
“It's only the cosmetic that attracts the people, the landing when they drop from some magic type concept and suddenly opening up parachute is funny and doesn't make sense at all, and the character running, jumping and shooting.”
“When we hit an enemy with a car, he or she is flying like a bird in the air, which looks so funny.”
“It's not funny losing because of a stupid bug.”
“It lags a lot; every time I play, it takes 30 extra seconds just to play with my friends, and I have to exit out of the app so many times that it is not funny.”
“FF is good, but after the update, the reduction of the rank is not good. Please stop it. I was in Diamond 4 in BR, and when I logged in, I saw Gold 1. It's not funny; you guys should stop or I will delete it for good!”
