The game's story is minimal, primarily revolving around survival in an open sandbox environment with few quests and a lack of narrative depth. Players express frustration over the absence of a coherent storyline and the repetitive nature of missions, often feeling overwhelmed by other players in a PvP setting. While some enjoy the survival mechanics and crafting, many feel that the game needs more structured quests and a clearer narrative to enhance the overall experience.
“Like all the other survival games out there today, you are thrown into the game to literally just survive; there are no missions, quests, or tasks to complete, it’s just an open sandbox, you create your own story/challenges.”
“The story of the game is simply survival.”
“There isn’t much of a story to speak of in immune.”
“I don’t even know where in the world I am nor what happened. The non-playable characters also offer no help as all they do is offer to sell you things, give missions, or try to kill you.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the variety of mechanics and the stress-free nature that allows for longer play sessions without starting over. However, many criticize the simplicity and sluggishness of the gameplay, with complaints about poor movement mechanics, lack of engaging content, and a frustrating loot system. Overall, while there are elements of fun and potential, the gameplay experience is often marred by technical issues and a lack of depth.
“Nice gameplay mechanics variety.”
“Unlike other survival games which demand constant logging in daily, this one has a mechanic which allows a person to leave the game for a long period without the need of starting from scratch.”
“Immune is a lot of fun, with good gameplay mechanics and a lot of enemy variety.”
“Further, no actual point to the game, as you can't actually build anything. The map will quickly become as boring as it was when I just ctrl-alt-del'd the game because I was pissed at the damned stupid mechanics of infection leaving me dropping all my gear in the middle of about 5 raiders.”
“The gameplay is terrible.”
“This game is pretty garbage. I mean, the mechanics for all of the movement are just trash, the loot system is worse than DayZ SA, and you have to pay for hats... hats!!”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players describing them as mediocre or poor compared to other titles in the genre. While some appreciate the charming art style and cartoonish visuals, others criticize the clunky visuals and lack of polish, suggesting that improvements are needed for a more engaging experience. Overall, the graphics seem to be a secondary concern for some players, who prioritize gameplay over visual quality.
“On a positive note, there seemed to be a variety of things to craft, and even though the visuals were rough, I liked the art style and the top-down view.”
“I really like it, especially the mix of nice cartoon graphics with lots of possibilities of crafting, hunting, etc., and I really like the intuitive approach to things!”
“Despite being a pretty gritty survival game where players are put up against both zombies and human foes in a fight to the death, the art style of the game is gentle and inviting.”
“Though I must say, graphics-wise, the game doesn't look too pretty.”
“The AI is pathetic, and the controls and visuals feel clunky.”
“The graphics are poor compared to other games of this type; it can be played at higher resolutions, but really, there is no point; it still looks the same in lower resolutions.”

The humor in the game is generally appreciated, particularly when played with friends, leading to laughter over glitches and absurd situations, such as characters dying in ridiculous ways. While some players find the humor to be hit-or-miss and suggest improvements for a more engaging experience, many still enjoy the comedic moments and funny AI interactions. Overall, the game offers a lighthearted experience that can be entertaining, especially in multiplayer settings.
“We sat for about 2-3 hours doing dumb stuff, killing each other and laughing our asses off at the glitches, then even more because there are people wasting their time and resources to hack in this.”
“While you played this game attempting to prevent your character from dying of constant starvation, you've missed out on lunch... no seriously, it's so lame, in my opinion, that my roommate and I couldn't stop laughing at how lame the game is while testing it out... have fun being killed by the cows, the chicken, and starvation!”
“- Funny AI (one zombie actually fled from me because I kicked his butt with a plunger!)”
“But this game is not funny at all.”
“The humor falls flat and feels forced.”
“I expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the frequent deaths and the effort required to recover lost items. While some enjoy farming and completing missions, beginners may struggle with resource scarcity, as an hour of farming often yields insufficient materials for meaningful progression.
“Too easy to die, too tedious constantly attempting to recover your belongings.”
“Farming for an hour yielded not enough material to make anything more than a club.”
“For beginners, you may start farming with wood, then sell it to NPCs until you have enough food and meds in your storage, then you may start doing quests.”

“There is no music; the sound effects are also non-existent. At one point, I had to tab out of the game because I thought I was muted. Nope, just no sound.”
“Dead game and boring; no music, just poor communication.”
