The game's optimization is severely lacking, with users reporting high CPU and RAM usage, long loading times, and frequent lag, leading to a frustrating experience. Many players have expressed disappointment, stating that the game is not ready for early access and recommending against purchasing it until significant performance improvements are made.
“The release into early access was too early; it's not optimized enough and eats a lot of CPU and RAM.”
“71 is your lucky number. Seriously, Microsoft Flight Sim loads faster than this. Terrible game, badly optimized, doesn't load. Good luck if you actually get into the game; low FPS and laggy. I'm refunding; please don't buy this game. Quick edit: in case you're wondering, that 53 minutes of my playtime has been spent staring at the loading screen for an hour.”
“In the current version, the game has big problems with optimization and lags.”

The limited content, reduced to just four unengaging missions, further detracts from the overall narrative experience, leading many to deem it unworthy of its price.

“Items may disappear or not appear in missions.”

Many users express a need for customizable graphic settings to address issues like motion blur, with some resorting to minimum settings to enhance their experience. Overall, there is a consensus that the graphics require significant improvement.
“If this is supposed to be a high-end game, why does it have bad graphics and giant system requirements?”
“Yeah, the graphics need a lot of work, and I think an option to customize graphic settings would be very necessary because personally, I hate motion blur. I have to play this game on minimum settings just to get rid of it.”
