The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of engaging content, with missions often feeling repetitive and uneventful, as players primarily hover around waiting for backup vehicles that do not contribute to the action. Players express frustration over the punishing mechanics that lead to instant mission failures for minor mistakes, and the overall mission design is described as boring and lacking in detail. While some users find potential in the game's premise, the execution leaves much to be desired, with many feeling that the missions do not live up to the initial promise.
- “The cities were big and convincing; the missions frequent, varied, and exciting.”
- “I know it's contrary to many other reviews but I enjoyed it and I think there would be more interesting missions at higher ranks.”
- “In the tutorial, the commander said I should be well rested and replenished between missions so that I could do my job well.”
- “The missions are boring and not detailed; you basically hover around the mission area until a few vehicles from the police, fire station, or ambulance come around.”
- “After that, the mission is over; nothing happens in between, and nobody on the roads stops for the people who had crashes or major accidents.”
- “People who don't care about missions in which nothing happens besides the arrival of backup vehicles that do nothing besides standing around until the mission is over.”

The game's optimization has received criticism, with users reporting poor performance even on high-end systems, such as an overclocked Intel 8700k and GTX 1080ti, which struggled to deliver expected frame rates.

- “The performance is horrible. I am way over the recommended specifications with an overclocked Intel 8700k processor at 5GHz and a GTX 1080 Ti. The game ran smoothly, but not at the FPS I expected, which means that people who don't have such a powerful machine will definitely have problems.”
- “The optimization is lacking, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering even on high-end hardware.”
- “Despite having a top-tier setup, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, making it frustrating to play.”
