- “Miscreated is stable, looks good, plays smooth, the trucks and stuff are not buggy at all, and the gunplay is great.”

- “The game often suffers from frame rate drops, rendering glitches, and long loading times, which can disrupt the immersion and hinder the enjoyment of the gameplay.”
- “No, the game constantly crashes and freezes. You get kicked out of the game and it closes every 5 or 10 minutes, or if another person joins the server. When you get kicked, you might get dropped on the other side of the map with all your gear, or you die by a random enemy and your game freezes, preventing you from exiting.”
- “This game is extremely buggy and needs loads of work. If you do end up buying this, don't be surprised by the empty servers, glitches, bugs, long loading times, completely unbalanced gameplay, and lack of voice communication.”
