  • graphics66 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their stunning quality and smooth performance, particularly in comparison to Garry's Mod, thanks to the use of Unreal Engine 4. However, many users feel that while the visuals are impressive, they are not enough to compensate for the game's lack of content and modding capabilities, leading to a perception of it as a shallow experience. Overall, the graphics are seen as the game's strongest aspect, but there is a consensus that further development and additional features are needed to fully realize its potential.

    • “Let me start off by saying the graphics are beyond amazing, I think they're even better than what I can comprehend with my own eyes.”
    • “The graphics are amazing for Unreal Engine, and should the mods get better, the game will be way more open.”
    • “Super smooth, great graphics and effects, amazing potential.”
    • “The only thing this game was trying to be was Garry's Mod with better graphics, but it lacks servers, has little to do in general, not a shred of a player base, and is just a very boring game overall. I bought this on sale for 80 cents and I even feel like this is a scam. I've put hundreds of hours into Garry's Mod and this is just not it.”
    • “The developer of the game 'bucikpro' abandoned the game after 2 months of being released on Steam. The aim of the project was to completely modernize Garry's Mod with better graphics, UIs, etc., but unfortunately, the game did not fulfill the expectations set by the developer and left us with an unpolished mess of a game with UE4 graphics.”
    • “The maps that came with the game are not finished, it's completely empty, the performance is terrible, not well optimized, the graphics are bland, and the gameplay is inconsistent. It's an asset flip that is a straight rip from the UE4 marketplace.”
  • gameplay25 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has been widely criticized for its lack of depth and polish, with many users noting broken mechanics and a reliance on mods that are currently unsupported. While some appreciate the potential and technical aspects, the overall experience is marred by empty maps, poor optimization, and a bland user interface, leading to a consensus that the game feels incomplete and unengaging without significant updates and improvements.

    • “This game is so beautiful; I hate to give it this comparison, but this is basically Garry's Mod, but with so much more potential. It's more beautiful, and the mechanics are a lot cleaner, designed on a newer engine, so it has so much more potential than Garry's Mod.”
    • “Yes, it's really fun graphics, but a lot of where the game gets its greatness from is the gameplay.”
    • “With add-ons being able to provide you with new mechanics, interesting battles you can create, and maps to explore.”
    • “This game has so much potential, but I feel like the game mechanics weren't worked on enough.”
    • “A lot of mechanics are just broken and not playable!”
    • “With almost nothing to do, a bland UI, mechanics and assets ripped straight from the Unreal Store, the game is far from an enjoyable experience.”
  • stability20 mentions

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that significantly hinder gameplay. Many players feel that the game is unpolished and lacks essential features, leading to a frustrating experience. While some see potential for improvement, the current state is described as a "big bug" with minimal content, making it feel incomplete and akin to a cash grab.

    • “The game runs smoothly with only minor bugs, which is impressive for such a complex title.”
    • “I encountered very few bugs during my playthrough, making for a stable gaming experience.”
    • “Overall, the stability of the game is commendable, with only a handful of glitches that didn't affect my enjoyment.”
    • “Would rate like 5/10, sometimes maps are impressive, but it's buggy, hard to look at sometimes, and there's like little content available for it. Honestly, I believe a possible release of the editors could prove to boost the amount of content and player base, but right now it's dead in the water and feels like a cash grab.”
    • “Not to mention that it is totally buggy with absolutely no content (missing also the publicized content) and nothing to do in the game.”
    • “The game isn't worth even the 5 dollars CAD, no props, buggy as all hell, so many UI problems and rotating props doesn't work properly. It's just not worth the cheap price; I would rather just lose the money than regretfully buy this game. Just don't; it's basically just $100 worth of assets from the engine it was made on with a poorly designed UI slapped on and barely any freedom on what you can do with it.”
  • monetization16 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has been overwhelmingly criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many reviewers labeling it as an unfinished asset flip designed solely for quick profit rather than genuine development. Players express disappointment over the lack of content and quality, suggesting that the game feels abandoned and lacks the passion typically associated with successful titles. Overall, the consensus is that the game prioritizes profit over player experience, leading to a negative reception.

    • “This game is a rip-off and a cash grab.”
    • “I only have a playtime of 6 minutes because that's how long it took me to go over the entirety of the content, and then another 3 times astonished at how poorly made this game is. It doesn't even show promise; it shows a kid who decided he wanted to plaster together Unreal market assets and code blueprints for a cash grab, even if short-lived.”
    • “It is unfinished and clearly just a quick cash grab to try and bait people into thinking it is the next GMod.”
  • story9 mentions

    The reviews indicate that the game lacks a meaningful story, with some users comparing it to games like "Temple Run" that prioritize gameplay over narrative. A few comments suggest frustration with the absence of a coherent storyline, while others note that the experience feels repetitive and unengaging. Overall, the consensus is that the game does not deliver a compelling story.

    • “Epic story.”
    • “Like playing 'Temple Runners' for the story.”
    • “The last three months it's been the same story: gets butt hurt from criticism, bans people, then gives up. The only difference this time is he broke and deleted the Discord. Should've never even started this.”
    • “This game has no story.”
    • “Like playing 'Temple Run' for the story.”
  • optimization7 mentions

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some users find it well-optimized and enjoyable on decent hardware, others criticize it for poor performance, clunky controls, and a lack of content. Many players express disappointment with the graphics and overall gameplay experience, suggesting that the game feels rushed and underdeveloped.

    • “Pretty much a very well optimized version of GMod, super fun to mess around in and is a bit more user-friendly than GMod, and at a good price.”
    • “I bought this game thinking it would be a new GMod, with better graphics, performance, and modding capabilities.”
    • “The game is very well optimized being run on a Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 980 Ti, and 16 GB of RAM.”
    • “Physics are clunky, controlling tools and objects is clunky, poorly optimized.”
    • “A bit rushed and not very optimized, ugly UI, slippery movement and unresponsive controls.”
    • “Needs more content, better UI, optimization, dedicated servers, web forums.”
  • humor6 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as inconsistent and often overshadowed by the game's shortcomings, with players noting that while there are moments of levity, such as quirky graphics and absurd content (like a toilet gun), the overall experience feels more like a joke than a well-crafted game. Many users express that the developer's comedic intent does not compensate for the lack of content and functionality.

    • “Funny good game lol”
    • “Mods go vvroom vrroom hahah funnyyzzz yas”
    • “Content, almost none, 3 guns: pistol, ak, and a toilet. It seems that this developer has more humor than motivation for the game, so if he treats it like a joke, so are we.”
  • music6 mentions

    The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players praising the musical quality of the in-game compositions as masterpieces. However, many criticize the limited functionality of the music and video players, which only accept direct mp4 and mp3 links, making it cumbersome to use popular platforms like YouTube. Overall, while the potential for musical creativity exists, the execution and accessibility leave much to be desired.

    • “I don't think I've heard actual objects produce such works of art, truly musical masterpieces.”
    • “I think the playing of songs and videos could be a bit easier, like using YouTube links.”
    • “I think the playing songs and videos could be a bit easier, like using YouTube links.”
    • “The music and video players don't even accept music and videos from websites like YouTube; they only accept direct mp4 and mp3 links, which are extremely primitive.”
    • “Messing around with music and videos on the props in-game.”

    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, and it felt like I made no progress.”

    • “Every detail contributes to a rich and captivating atmosphere that keeps you engaged.”
    • “The combination of sound design and visuals creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.”
