“Plus the graphics are really outdated; I was expecting a cyberpunk-like game and got this.”
“The visuals are ugly; the program looks like one of those 'I made the Mirror's Edge running animation in Unity in 24 hours' videos, and most of the job, and anything that's actually useful, like tracking and scoping, is done by the workshop.”

The monetization model of the game has drawn criticism for including ads despite users having already paid for it, leading to frustration over perceived value and transparency. Many players express a preference for alternatives with clearer monetization strategies, such as free options or those without intrusive advertising. Additionally, there are calls for improved features and customization options to justify the cost, as current offerings seem limited and not aligned with user expectations.
“Better than other aim trainers due to no ads.”
“Go, no ads.”
“Or at the very least optional to pay, or free with microtransactions (skins on the dummies, for example), because dummies randomly spawning in Unity engine, grounded on the foundations of simple-as-nail if/else commands is not what I was promised.”
“Shows advertisements when I have already paid for the game.”
“I paid for this software; why do I have to watch ads every time I launch the trainer?”
“Long delays, pointless registration that I don't want... it's clearly to scrape extra monetization off customers who already paid... plain bad statistics... and extremely limited configuration and customization options.”
