The gameplay is described as fun and funky, but it suffers from lag and glitches, particularly with the buy menu not functioning properly, leading to a lack of player interaction and incomplete mechanics. Overall, while there are enjoyable elements, technical issues detract from the experience.

“Real funky gameplay.”
“The graphics are subpar, and the gameplay is just as disappointing.”
“The glitchy buy menu doesn't open, leaving you in a room alone because no one plays this game to join or create any rooms. You're always by yourself, and half the mechanics don't even work.”
“It's just gameplay.”

Specific modes, like the cod zombies mode, have been criticized for poor optimization and gameplay mechanics that detract from enjoyment.
“I have read other reviews of individuals struggling with performance and optimization, which I noticed quite easily, but wasn't a major issue for me due to my PC's specs, although I know others will not have the same specs as me.”

“Pep is a game that, even though I haven't played a lot of, I can see its value as a game that, with a little optimization and UI updates, can be a game that millions can enjoy.”
“Poorly optimized, the COD Zombies mode has friendly fire and no revives. The perks all suck and ruin your vision, there are invisible dogs that only the host can see, the guns are terrible, and you can only hold one pistol and one primary instead of whatever you want.”
