The game serves as an excellent training tool for learning land navigation skills, providing a realistic simulation that translates well to real-life scenarios.
Controls are easy to learn, and the game offers a wealth of information and resources, including a supportive community on Discord and helpful YouTube tutorials.
Despite being in early access, the game is functional and immersive, with a large map and various exercises that challenge players and help them improve their navigation skills.

Currently, there is only one map available, which may limit the variety of experiences for players looking for more diverse terrains.
Some players have reported minor bugs and issues, which is expected in an early access title, but can still detract from the overall experience.
The game may not appeal to those looking for a traditional gaming experience, as it is more of a training simulator than a conventional game.
