Gameplay reviews are polarized, with some praising the engaging mechanics and progressive introduction of new elements that enhance the experience, while others criticize the controls and driving mechanics as frustrating and poorly designed, leading to a sense of disorientation and hindrance rather than challenge. Overall, the gameplay experience seems to vary significantly, with some players finding it thrilling and others feeling it is a frustrating money-grab.
“The combination of tight controls, engaging gameplay, and vibrant graphics make it a must-play for fans of the genre!”
“The way it progressively introduced new game mechanics to its arsenal makes the game thrilling on each of the new levels.”
“Difficulty does not create engaging gameplay; it simply makes you frustrated because the obstacles are haphazardly placed, making it impossible to avoid them.”
“And don't get me started on the gameplay mechanics.”
“If you somehow get the idea in your head to purchase this title, you will be greeted by the most horrendous driving mechanics in any video game. Your vehicle will constantly slide across the map, and even the slightest touch on the side of a wall or object will send you into a tailspin that makes you completely disoriented.”

The music in "Go Kart Survival" has received mixed reviews, with some players feeling that a more dynamic soundtrack could enhance the experience, while others criticize the lack of music altogether, likening the go-kart sounds to a lawnmower. Overall, the absence of a compelling soundtrack detracts from the game's emotional impact and immersion.
“It needs some lit KSI - Lamborghini music and it would be a 10/10.”
“Now, soundtracks either make or break the game.”
“The go-kart sounds like a lawnmower rolling through gravel and there is no music to speak of.”

Players find the grinding in the game excessively tedious, with daily resource caps and faction-switching mechanics that prolong the process of acquiring parts. The combination of long crafting times and resource limitations can lead to weeks of effort just to obtain new equipment, compounded by frustrating track design and controls. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant detractor from the game's enjoyment.
“It's grindy as hell, and in case you're actually good at the game, there's a cap on how many resources you can get in a day.”
“Parts from certain factions require parts from other factions, but you can't switch factions for a day. So you're constantly switching between them just to get one part, which then you have to wait 10 hours for it to craft. Including grinding for all the resources to craft said parts (which, as I mentioned, is also capped), it can take you weeks just to get a new gun for your vehicle.”
“Between the tedious and maze-like track design, the terrible controls, and finally finishing it off with some of the worst camera work I've ever seen in a racing game.”

The monetization strategy of the developers has been criticized for being exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and cash grabs by using uncredited assets from other creators. This pattern of behavior raises concerns about the integrity of the game's development and its reliance on others' work for profit.
“The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real game developers who created the assets, so this feels like plagiarism and a cash grab.”
“Tero Lunkka has shown a repeated pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”
