The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs affecting gameplay, particularly during investigations and car pursuits. Players report that pursuits are endless and often result in frustrating encounters with police, compounded by poor camera controls. Overall, the game's instability has led to disappointment among users, with many feeling their purchase was a waste.
“The investigations are buggy, the car pursuits basically never end no matter how many officers are put on them, and if they stop, they one-tap cops then die. This game is just sad, and I actually wasted money on it.”
“I have to agree that this game is buggy as heck when you have tons of units in the game.”
“Right now, the game is very buggy, and the camera controls are god awful.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its poorly executed chase mechanic, which has remained unaddressed for three years, leading to a lack of polish and depth. However, some users find the core gameplay loop interesting, especially considering the game's limited budget. Overall, there is a call for quality of life improvements to enhance the experience.
“It could do with more polish, quality of life improvements, and depth, but it's an interesting gameplay loop for what looks like a very tight budget.”
“The poorly made chase mechanic alone is why I'm putting this as not recommended, and the fact that it hasn't been fixed in 3 years is a little concerning.”
