Overall, while the game offers unique features and a compelling tactical shooter experience, it requires substantial refinement to meet player expectations.

    • “The game has some of the best FPS mechanics I've ever seen in a video game, very similar to 'Ready or Not' but as a military operator.”
    • “There's a lot of depth and moving parts with Operator, to be sure.. but once you get the hang of things, it's an immersive experience that provides some truly excellent gameplay.”
    • “Operator provides excellent movement mechanics for controlling your character such as seamless in-motion leaning/peeking.”
    • “I really tried to give it a chance, but the numerous technical and gameplay issues were so bad that I couldn't justify playing it anymore.”
    • “Every in-game mechanic is clunky at best, and broken the rest of the time.”
    • “Gameplay is atrocious, requested refund.”
  • graphics
    224 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the decent visuals and customization options, while others criticize the overall quality, performance issues, and graphical glitches. Many users note that the game requires significant hardware to run smoothly, and there are calls for graphical updates and optimizations to enhance the experience. Overall, while there are moments of impressive detail, the graphics are often described as needing improvement to meet modern standards.

    • “Everything is so realistic and the graphics look perfect!”
    • “Wow, this is just about everything I'm looking for in a realistic shooter, you've got insane customization, great graphics, amazing gore, punchy guns, amazing NVGs.”
    • “With its cutting-edge graphics and immersive gameplay, this game is sure to provide you with endless entertainment.”
    • “Looks like watered down claymation graphics and somehow requires more hardware than Kerbal 2 and MSFS 2020 combined to run and does that job poorly. The first guy I shot said 'oh no, I'm dead' in a 15-year-old's voice that was recorded in a motorhome bathroom complete with a 1x2 ft room echo.”
    • “The game looks bad, runs poorly even on a 4080 with an i9 13900k, and is just full of jank, graphical anomalies, empty maps, and stupid AI. I know it's a young dev making this game, but that doesn't excuse putting something like this out to market in this state.”
    • “The graphics are not what I would consider to be up-to-date; the UI is bad, the AI is terrible, and the maps are bare. It's very confusing at first to even get into a game with the proper loadout, and the movements feel very clunky.”
  • story
    198 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is currently minimal, with players expressing frustration over the lack of missions and narrative depth. While there are plans for a single-player story mode in 2025, many users feel that the existing missions are limited and repetitive, leading to a quick sense of boredom. Overall, the potential for a more immersive storyline exists, but it remains largely unfulfilled at this stage.

    • “Immersive storyline: dive into a gripping narrative that unravels the mysteries of the post-apocalyptic world and your character's role in it.”
    • “Faction-based gameplay: align with one of several rival factions, each with its own goals and ideologies, and engage in faction-based missions and conflicts.”
    • “Player choices: make decisions that impact the game's storyline, alliances, and the fate of the post-apocalyptic world.”
    • “I absolutely love this game but unfortunately the last big update removed the many missions this game had, making it get very boring very quickly after playing the only two missions currently available to us. I am excited to see this game grow and turn into an amazing tactical milsim shooter and the game we all know this awesome developer can make it into.”
    • “Regularly black screens, and by that I mean the entire screen is mostly just black with some white outlines on stuff here and there, zero tutorial of any kind, not even how to get into a mission, and the game crashes when you attempt to load a mission.”
    • “The game is literally unplayable right now. I've never had to leave a server or restart my game so many times just to play one mission.”

Frequent updates from the developer offer hope for future enhancements, but many players advise waiting until the game is more refined before purchasing.

Overall, the sentiment suggests that the game's monetization strategy feels exploitative rather than supportive of a quality gaming experience.

    • “The impression I get is it is a cash grab and the developer is trolling anyone who doesn't refund this.”
    • “Feels like a cash grab that will stay in early access hell.”
  • grinding

    • “A bit grindy sometimes.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The controls are very lackluster; having to hit Shift+T to rack your weapon is extremely tedious, and you can't even change that keybind, which is frustrating because I use Shift for crouch.”
    • “Needs some serious bug fixing; animations are choppy and kind of wonky. The operator customization room is buggy, and the fact I can't save my loadout between rounds is tedious.”
