Players express a strong appreciation for the game's mechanics and overall experience but highlight a significant lack of a story mode, which they believe would enhance the game's uniqueness and depth. Many suggest that incorporating character-specific storylines and quests could alleviate the repetitiveness of gameplay and provide additional ways to earn in-game currency. Overall, while the game is well-loved, the absence of a narrative element is seen as a missed opportunity for further engagement.
- “The game is simply amazing, with each new season comes new mechanics that are awesome to use. However, the game eventually becomes repetitive, and it would help a lot to make Free Fire stand out from other online shooting games. It may be time-consuming and a little harder to implement, but the simple truth is the game needs a story mode. It would make the game more special if each character had a story mode that dropped each season.”

- “It's a very good game, but there are some lag issues. If there were some quests or challenges to earn diamonds, it would be more fun.”
