graphics
71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
46% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions
The game's graphics receive widespread praise for being significantly better and more modern than Garry's Mod, with smooth performance, impressive Unreal Engine visuals, and appealing lighting effects. However, while the graphics show great potential and run well even on modest hardware, many users feel the game currently lacks depth, content, and mod support, which diminishes the overall experience despite its strong visual presentation.
- “The graphics are stunning and I know the developer is working on opening the workshop to everyone and fixing all the bugs.”
- “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 maps that came with the game are not done, it's completely empty, the performance is terrible, not well optimized, the graphics are bland, and the gameplay is inconsistent, and of course, asset flip that is straight rip from ue4 marketplace.”
- “The developer of the game 'bucikpro' abandoned the game after 2 months of the game being released onto Steam. The aim of the project was to completely modernise 'Garry's Mod' with better graphics, UIs, etc., but unfortunately the game did not fulfil expectations and left us with an unpolished mess of a game with the UE4 graphics.”
- “Just a ripoff of Garry's Mod but with better graphics; however in Garry's Mod there are mods to improve it, and it is misleading by the pictures.”
gameplay
31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
16% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions
The gameplay is widely criticized for being unpolished, incomplete, and heavily reliant on mods that are currently limited or unsupported, resulting in few meaningful activities beyond basic interaction. Many mechanics are buggy or poorly implemented, and the game lacks core content and refinement, making it feel empty and inconsistent despite its technical potential. While some appreciate the smoothness and resemblance to Garry's Mod with future possibilities, the overall gameplay experience is considered weak and unengaging in its current state.
- “Yes, it's really fun graphics, but a lot of where the game gets its greatness from is the gameplay.”
- “I love that it seems to have many of the Gmod mechanics too while being original in its own manner (i.e., not taking from Half-Life as much or at all, which somewhat alienates me as someone who hasn't played through any Half-Life game so far).”
- “With add-ons being able to provide you with new mechanics, interesting battles you can create, maps to explore.”
- “A lot of mechanics are just broken and not playable!”
- “Right now it is $3, but even then you cannot do much more than walk around and attempt to make a contraption with the constraints never being where you put them or the rotation of the physgun simply not fitting the mouse, it doesn't have a snap mechanic to better align either.”
- “A couple of mechanics, hundreds of bugs, the lack of promised functions, poor physics and destructibility, gravity as if the character is on the moon.”
stability
28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 7% neutral mentions, 93% negative mentions
The game suffers from numerous and significant bugs, glitches, and unpolished mechanics, with many tools, vehicles, and props malfunctioning or feeling off. Stability issues severely impact gameplay, making it frustrating and limiting player engagement, though some see potential if these problems are addressed in future updates. Overall, it is widely considered an unfinished, buggy experience better suited as an early access title.
- “The game isn't worth even 5 dollars CAD—no props, buggy as all hell, so many UI problems, and rotating props don't work properly. It's basically just $100 worth of assets from the engine it was made on with a terrible UI slapped on and barely any freedom on what you can do.”
- “The 'developer' shouldn't have launched this as a game people pay for or at all because it's a buggy, incomplete dumpster fire of a game.”
- “The game is pretty buggy and unpolished; most of the tools don't work or don't even have any options at all when you select them.”
monetization
19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The monetization of this game is widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many users accusing the developer of releasing an unfinished, low-effort asset flip to quickly profit without passion or ongoing support. The game is viewed as abandoned, lacking substantial content, and primarily designed to exploit players financially.
- “I only have a play time 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.”
- “This game is an asset flip, cash grab piece of junk which was dropped to make some quick bucks and is now being abandoned to create another app store GMod.”
- “Would rate like 5/10. Sometimes maps are impressive, but it's buggy, hard to look at sometimes, and there's 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.”
story
12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
25% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions
The game is widely noted for having no meaningful story, with many users pointing out the absence of a narrative and comparing it unfavorably to story-driven games. Overall, the story aspect is considered negligible or nonexistent by the community.
- “Back with the story though, an active Discord grew with several people joining in voice calls by the hour to get glimpses of visuals, excited about the ideas that the game would bring.”
- “A great story, actually:”
- “Alright boys and girls, today, I've got a story for you.”
- “No story.”
- “This game has no story.”
- “Like playing "Temple Runners" for the story.”
optimization
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions
The game's optimization is inconsistent, with some users experiencing smooth performance on high-end systems while others face clunky physics, poor controls, and terrible multiplayer performance. Overall, it feels rushed and not well optimized, particularly in multiplayer and map content, impacting the gameplay experience.
- “I bought this game thinking it would be a new GMod, with better graphics, performance and modding capabilities.”
- “When it comes to optimization, it works well on my computer, but your experience will vary from mine if you don't have an Acer Nitro 5.”
- “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 and poorly optimized.”
- “For a game that's focused on sandbox multiplayer, the multiplayer is horribly optimized.”
- “A bit rushed and not very optimized, with an ugly UI, slippery movement, and unresponsive controls.”
humor
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
Users find the humor in the game to be inconsistent and often sarcastic, with some noting that the developer's apparent comedic approach may reflect a lack of serious effort. While a few jokes and funny moments exist, overall humor is seen as overshadowed by minimal content and technical issues.
- “Funny funny haha.”
- “Funny good game lol.”

music
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
The music aspect is limited by the game only accepting direct mp3 and mp4 links, making it difficult to easily play songs or videos from popular platforms like YouTube. While playing music and videos through in-game props is a unique feature, the current system feels primitive and could be more user-friendly.
- “I don't think I've heard actual objects produce such works of art, truly musical masterpieces.”
- “Messing around with music and videos on the props in-game.”
- “I think 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 is extremely primitive.”
- “I think playing songs and videos could be easier, such as by allowing YouTube links.”
- “Messing around with music and videos on the props in-game is not very user-friendly.”
