The music in the game is criticized for being incessant and unmanageable, with players unable to adjust the volume, leading to a frustrating experience. Additionally, the sound design suffers from poor mixing, as evidenced by the clash between menu music and cutscene audio, contributing to an overall negative impression of the game's audio quality.
“Music doesn't turn off.”
“The music just keeps going.”
“The game started after 6-7 attempts; I tried to change the volume of the music and it didn't work. I even got a freeze screen.”
“After I restarted the game, I tried to start a new game. After an ugly cutscene with mixed sound from the menu and sound from the cutscene, I got stuck on a loading screen.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, including enemy revival glitches, significant frame rate drops, and camera issues. Players have noted that these problems severely detract from the overall experience, suggesting that the game feels unpolished and not ready for full release. Caution is advised for potential players due to these persistent stability issues.
“I just started playing the game and it's so buggy. Every time you kill an enemy in the first encounter, it just revives and stands still. FPS drops, lag spikes, and camera flickers while you play.”
“Great job, but it's not ready to be playable. There are a lot of glitches that must be fixed.”
“Camera angles are buggy, rendering issues are glitchy, the lag is unreal, and the experience is unfortunately heavily outweighed by these 'early access' issues.”

The story is praised for its high-quality footage and engaging concept, though some players find it repetitive. However, technical issues such as glitches and quest updates detract significantly from the overall experience, leading to frustration and hindering gameplay progression.
“The story, the actual footage of the story is second to none and insanely well done, for real... the concept of the game seems fun but repetitive, but with some fun seasoned around the slow-motion aspect and finishes on some of the enemies.”
“It is not even a game; you can't play or finish the first mission because of a glitch. This game really needs more work; it's very bad.”
“I have had to restart many times due to my character being stuck or the quest not updating. There are also floating soldiers over horses, not to mention the optimization is horrific.”
“The story is repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged despite some interesting concepts.”
