The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative and backstory. While some appreciate the survival elements and multiplayer aspects, the absence of a cohesive storyline detracts from the overall experience, leading to frustration over repetitive missions and a sense of aimlessness. Suggestions for improvement include adding a campaign mode and enhancing the quest system to provide a more immersive and rewarding gameplay experience.

- “Fun game like a real-life one where we have to survive and do all the things like the world has been started. The story should be about a man who finds a new island, but due to a thunderstorm, he crashes and now has to survive by cutting trees, building houses, and upgrading them. There are also zombies.”
- “It's a good game; I just couldn't really do anything. The first quest gun got killed and stolen, and ever since, every time I try to craft a gun, it all gets taken, so all in all, not worth playing.”
- “No story, nothing. Just destroy each other's base like it's not an apocalypse but a war against each other. That's all it offers in 5GB.”
- “I really hate games that have no storyline in them. For new players, a different lobby should be arranged because it's really hard to match up to the old players; they would just shoot me if they saw me.”
- “Jesus Christ, this game has changed so much that it is even more trash than before. Now it doesn't have any missions like before to introduce you to the game. You have to find the missions through some wild menu, and even then the missions are extremely long, so you basically die from starvation or thirst before you can gather anything.”

- “Rthe game is very funny to play, especially with friends, and there are a lot of things you can do in the game.”
