Players express frustration with the game's misleading emphasis on farming, which is minimal compared to the more tedious and frustrating stealth and military elements. Many reviewers wished for a greater focus on the farming mechanics, feeling that the game failed to deliver a satisfying experience in this aspect, leading to disappointment and a sense of wasted potential. Overall, the grinding nature of the non-farming gameplay detracted significantly from the enjoyment of what little farming was available.
“I am mainly upset at the fact that the majority of the screenshots displayed a farming game, but in reality that part lasted me maybe 5 minutes.”
“I genuinely just want to get back to farming. What kind of nonsense is it that you make over half of the screenshots of the game about the farming aspect, when really that only lasts a couple of minutes in-game?”
“The game fails to break itself up sufficiently between the farming side and the military side. I played for a solid hour just doing the repetitive jumping puzzles because either the game lags and you find yourself trapped in an unwinnable position, or it completely crashes.”

The music in the game requires manual activation and has been criticized for its repetitive and annoying main soundtrack, leading some players to recommend muting it. While the sound effects are considered better than the music, there are issues with the music models and rendering, which can lead to unpredictable lock-ups or crashes during fast-paced segments.
“As for the music, as soon as I launched the game, I noticed I had to turn it on myself and it was not enabled by default.”
“The main soundtrack, though, seems quite annoying.”
“The game music models and rendering are solid, but sometimes it locks up unpredictably or crashes altogether, which can be game-breaking during the fast-paced running segments.”
