    The game's graphics are widely criticized for outdated and lackluster 2D visuals, failing to utilize modern 3D graphics technology common since the mid-1990s. Performance issues are noted, with extremely low frame rates even on low settings and common hardware, indicating poor optimization.

    • “The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
    • “Getting lower than 6fps on Intel HD 520 in fullscreen in your game low settings (there's only one graphical setting and no visual changes from what I saw).”
    • “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”

  • story

    The story is criticized for being virtually nonexistent, relying heavily on multiplayer interaction instead of meaningful solo content or narrative. This lack of traditional storytelling and level design leaves the game feeling empty for players seeking a solo experience.

    • “The developer thought other players could replace actual storytelling and level design.”
    • “Without a player base or meaningful solo content (storytelling, narrative, you know, what makes games like GTA famous), the game has nothing to offer.”
    • “Sooooooooooooo how do you do solo missions?”

  • optimization

    The game’s optimization is poor, with users requesting more performance-enhancing settings such as resolution options and the ability to disable certain effects to improve gameplay. Overall, the performance is considered bad.

    • “Optimization: Add more settings that actually improve game performance, including resolution options and the ability to disable certain effects.”
