- “Overall, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good game to beat; it is still fun even when replaying missions.”
- “The story and squad mates are uninteresting, and the campaign is quite short.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered average, with some users noting that while they are not the best, they effectively capture the realism of firefighter interactions. Players appreciate the surprisingly good visuals for a port from an older console, although there are requests for improvements in both graphics and bug fixes. Overall, the graphics contribute to the enjoyment of the gameplay, despite some technical issues.
- “Is this game graphically stunning?”
- “As for the gameplay itself, the UI is great, controls are fast and responsive, I get amazing frame rates and the graphics are surprisingly good considering this is a port to PC from an older console era.”
- “The graphics aren't the best, and the dialogue is bland at times, but it is quite realistic and really portrays how firefighters interact with each other on and off duty.”
- “Every time I play this game, especially during the bridge fire scenario when the gas tanks fall down, the game crashes. Is it because my Windows 10 is too outdated, or is it the game itself? My laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce and an Intel Core i5 7th gen, so it works fine with other demanding games like Firefighter 2014, CS:GO, and L4D2. Can you please improve the graphics and fix the bugs?”
