The gameplay is generally enjoyable but suffers from immersion-breaking bugs and a lack of depth, particularly in gym mechanics, leading to a sense of staleness after a few hours. Players express a desire for more customization options and engaging content, as the current progression feels limited and repetitive. While the core gameplay loop has its addictive moments, the overall experience is hindered by balancing issues and a lack of community events.
“The game is very addictive with its gameplay.”
“It's a fairly enjoyable gameplay loop, from mopping up sweat to spraying someone with antiperspirant right in the eyes while they're bench pressing because they smell bad.”
“Has potential but needs a lot more options, like hiring personal trainers and security, and more customization for floors and walls. Currently, you will max out everything in about 3 to 6 hours of gameplay with no more room for growth, but they keep updating daily and making improvements.”
“The balancing and progression needs some rework and the gameplay gets stale quite fast.”
“Too much time spent developing things outside the gym instead of more mechanics within the gym to give it depth.”
“Absolutely awful game, terrible and boring mechanics with no fun at all.”

Overall, the graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with many players criticizing them as subpar, buggy, and inconsistent, leading to a frustrating experience. While some users appreciate the potential for improvement and note that certain aspects are visually appealing, the general consensus is that significant enhancements are needed for a more polished experience.
“Gym Simulator 24 provides a fairly engaging experience with beautiful graphics and minimal technical issues, especially during the initial phases of building a gym and managing a business.”
“The graphics are decent and gameplay gets a little repetitive after a while.”
“It would be great if some further aesthetically enhancing changes would be made at some point in the future; TVs that are able to be turned on or off rather than just being blank boxes on the walls, more gym equipment, and being able to hire more than one staff member, for example.”
“After a very boring experience, I would not recommend this game to anyone because it has the worst graphics and way too many bugs. I will never play this game again.”
“If you are looking for an overpriced game with bad graphics, this is your game. Or if you love to play with bugs, by all means, go ahead!”
“Graphics are terrible, not comparable at all to Gas Station Simulator.”

“They did updates and now the game freezes a lot.”
“I didn't really get to play much of this because the amount of graphic stutters and 1 second freezes kept me from progressing. This has me at 50/50 on this simulator.”
“Some glitches (characters get stuck on things and inside things), can't paint the spiral staircase walls or in the changing room behind the spa/saunas, cleaners only sweep, service techs don't fix anything, the octagon cage doesn't get used, and characters from the bar disappear when you bring them to your flat sometimes, just to name a few bugs I've encountered thus far.”

The game exhibits significant optimization issues, particularly at high settings, where players report extremely low frame rates (around 3 fps) at 2K resolution. However, when adjusted to medium settings, performance improves dramatically, maintaining over 60 fps.

“There aren't many things you can do; you'll finish everything in under 5 hours. When I play the game on high settings at 2K, I barely get 3 FPS, but on medium settings, I have 60+ at all times, so there are some optimization issues.”
“The game is poorly optimized, making it difficult to enjoy the experience. Even on lower settings, I encounter frequent frame drops and stuttering.”
