The gameplay is widely praised for its smooth mechanics, engaging character customization, and diverse activities, allowing players to explore various professions and interact with a vibrant world. However, many users express a desire for improvements, such as the addition of multiplayer options, more missions, and enhanced NPC interactions to prevent the game from becoming repetitive.

“There's a lot of stuff to do and so many fun game mechanics like driving cars and getting chased by police for crimes, which makes this game so fun. You can also do normal things like go to an amusement park, visit a farm, or school. There's a lot of customization for the characters and you can interact with people in the game in many ways.”
“Well, the only thing I worry about is that the gameplay needs an internet connection, remembering that the game was singleplayer and 'offline'.”
“There's been a lot to explore and lots of things to interact with, overall a great game but it is difficult to understand some of the gameplay and what to do at first; reading the tips is very helpful but it's also pretty long and should use some organization.”
“Thing I dislike/need development: NPCs (kinda boring), the system (during gameplay, if you want to get something through an ad, it logs you out, restarting your process), also the body of some people looks bizarre during some actions; the city/most of the map are drab (sometimes vacant), wish there were more people, needs more decoration (looks raw), opening/loading/gameplay screen is a total mess.”
