The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting that while certain maps look relatively nice, the overall graphical quality is considered subpar and outdated compared to current standards. A significant point of criticism is the complete lack of graphical settings, which limits customization and performance adjustments, leading to frustration among users. Despite some positive remarks about the visuals, many players feel that the absence of options and the game's performance issues detract from the overall experience.
- “The game is developed with Unreal Engine 4 and features amazing realistic graphics and supports cross-play between PC and PS4 with the potential to be supported on other platforms (Mac, Xbox One, etc.), including future ones, e.g. PS5.”
- “Graphics look great, but the movement of avatars, the menus, and the physics need some work.”
- “C'mon, it's just a tip off the iceberg, so can't complain lol good graphics and scenario can't wait for it to be finished.”
- “They added audio settings but it does nothing; graphics settings consist of only 3 screen resolutions, with no support for 3440x1440.”
- “There's no fullscreen or graphics tweaks at all.”
- “No kidding, there aren't any options to adjust graphical quality for those with weaker machines, which is surprising considering even the most basic games have settings for graphics.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying the club atmosphere and the vibe it creates for socializing. However, there are significant complaints about inconsistent volume levels and a lack of audio customization options, which detracts from the overall experience. While some tracks are appreciated, the absence of an original soundtrack and limited variety in music choices leave players wanting more.
- “It was a good little game for socializing, I played with a few mates back then and it would be cool to just hang around, playing on the arcade machines, listening and vibing to the music, making my character and my house, and walking around the big fairground hoping one day we could go on the rides.”
- “Bowling could be reworked a bit, the music in the nightclub is nice; they give you a starter personal space but it would be nice if it came with furnishing.”
- “It's looking good so far, the bowling game is fun and the music is terrific.”
- “No meter, no specific audio adjustments like music or sound, just a single on/off button.”
- “For example, the music radius in the club public space has an intense cutoff.”
- “There's music but you can't dance or strike any poses, the only things you can do is bowl and sit down (which takes a whole minute).”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting persistent bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay across various platforms. While some acknowledge that the developers are actively working on patches and improvements, the overall experience remains frustratingly clunky and unpolished, leading to a perception that the game is not yet ready for full release. Despite these issues, there is a sense of hope for future improvements as the game continues to evolve in early access.
- “This game really sucks. I played this on PlayStation and I just think it's a clunky, utterly trashy, glitchy, and buggy piece of mess. I am surprised it's still alive because this game really failed.”
- “On my PC, it's very buggy; the screen strobes green and makes the game virtually unplayable.”
- “What is not fine, and what I don't understand, is why you would release the game to receive negative reviews when the one thing that you can do in the game (bowling) is buggy and doesn't work.”

The game's optimization is a mixed bag, with many users reporting significant performance issues, particularly on PC, where it struggles to run smoothly even on systems that meet or exceed the recommended specifications. While some players appreciate the game's optimization for low-end PCs, others express frustration over the lack of settings options and persistent bugs, leading to low frame rates and slow gameplay. Overall, while there are signs of improvement, the game remains poorly optimized for a substantial portion of the player base.
- “The performance is better.”
- “- Optimized for low-end PCs/laptops (which I hope they keep it optimized for low-end PCs).”
- “Performance is being improved, very few crashes now occur at arcade plaza and social functions (such as the block system) are being looked into.”
- “Speaking of the devs, I don't think there's any; the game is a bug fest riddled with performance issues. Unless you have the exact hardware the devs used, there's a guaranteed chance you'll experience massive slowdowns. They didn't even have an options menu for you to set it to windowed.”
- “Ok, so you should understand it is early access, but the minimum and recommended requirements are misleading. I have a computer that exceeds the recommended requirements, and I can't adjust any settings (as far as I know). I average 17fps. This game ran better on console, and I am at or exceed the specifications, but that is my only grievance. Just be mindful that the specs listed are not what you should use to attempt to run this game.”
- “This game is so badly optimized that there isn't lag; it's just slow, and it's locked at what seems to be 30fps and below.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players expressing frustration over intrusive microtransactions and subscription models that dominate the experience. Many feel that essential content is locked behind paywalls, and the overall execution appears unpolished, leading to concerns that the game may be a cash grab rather than a genuine effort to engage players. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as excessive and detrimental to the gameplay experience.
- “I don't recommend putting any money into their one or two microtransactions yet, because who knows if they'll abandon the project or not, but since faith and hope are free, you can have as much of that to your heart's content.”
- “The most obvious one is something most people will obviously hate: microtransactions.”
- “It's expected for a free game to have microtransactions, but this one takes it to the next level of how much they want.”
- “This game shoves free coins and microtransactions into the mix, making everything decent be on microtransactions and making 1-4 items in a selection free coins, even having the nerve to make rows upon rows of subscription items that cost $4.99 monthly just to get.”
humor

Overall, the humor is characterized as more torturous than enjoyable.
- “If you want to have your friend play this for torture, then okay, whatever, it'll be funny to see them suffer.”
- “It is so hilariously bad.”
- “That's kind of funny to see projects like this and Alterverse (both changed names, by the way) began all the way back in Steam Greenlight and got a second wind after the metaverse/AI bubbles.”

- “☐ story?”
