Lack of opponent collision and limited ability to track competitors’ progress during races reduces realism and strategic depth.

The gameplay is praised as one of the best and most addictive experiences in sports games, offering smooth, realistic mechanics in skiing and shooting despite modest graphics. It features improved mechanics, various competition levels, and equipment customization, with suggestions for future enhancements like wind effects and stamina management. Overall, the gameplay is simple yet highly engaging and close to perfection for fans of the sport.
- “One of the best gameplay experiences I've seen in a sports game.”
- “No game breaking bugs (barely any), simple and streamlined gameplay but super addicting.”
- “The gameplay feels realistic in both skiing and shooting.”
- “The gameplay is very basic (you race around a course and shoot at targets... biathlon haha), and you can choose to spend your winnings to train your abilities or buy new equipment (like skis specialized for different temperature conditions).”
- “Future mechanics that could be added include wind effects on shooting for making adjustments, carrying over stamina to subsequent races like in real life to avoid missing races due to lack of energy, and adding an online world cup with leveling everyone's chances.”
- “You might find the gameplay repetitive, as in all sports games, but that's because you haven't played enough and don't like sports games.”

The graphics are generally considered modest and not outstanding, with some users noting they can be poor or less impressive than previous versions. However, the game runs smoothly and offers realistic and solid visual elements that support its strong gameplay and biathlon simulation, making graphics more of a secondary bonus than a primary focus.
- “Graphics might not be AAA, but they are solid!”
- “Small developer who worked on the game for the last 6 years, okay graphics but very realistic models and a great biathlon simulation.”
- “You could criticize the graphics, but with such good gameplay, the graphics seem like nothing more than a small bonus that we can hope for in the future of the franchise.”
- “There's no collision detection with opponents (you just slide right through them), graphics are poor, etc., so it isn't a racing sim really, and more like a quick-loop little incremental growth game.”
- “Although the graphics are not the best and sometimes lose to the old game, all the mechanics have been improved - shooting has become more difficult, real races have been added, different levels of competitions, the ability to change skis depending on the weather, the names and surnames of real biathletes (although slightly changed due to licensing, but everything can be edited inside).”
- “The graphics aren't amazing, but the game runs smoothly and the gameplay is close to perfection—what more could you ask for?”
