The gameplay has been universally criticized for its poor design, featuring terrible controls, broken mechanics, and janky physics that often lead to clipping issues. Players describe the experience as frustrating and nearly unplayable, with generic and uninspired gunplay that detracts from any potential enjoyment. Overall, the game feels unfinished and lacks the engaging elements typically expected from a first-person shooter.
- “The uniqueness of the sector lies in how it brilliantly strips away distractions like good graphics, flashy weapons, a well-written story, an options menu, and gameplay, allowing you to get on with what you came here for - shooting things.”
- “For example, when I used the iron sights for the water gun toy (the laser pistol), I would hear a mechanical moving sound.”
- “I promised the developer to make a walkthrough video of his game because there were no gameplay videos or let's plays of his game.”
- “The mechanics themselves are flawed to the point of the game being unbeatable due to extremely terrible game design, ranging from a damage system that's stacked heavily against the player, to physics so janky that clipping is almost bound to happen, resulting in overall gameplay that clearly has never been tested prior to release.”
- “Beyond terrible gunplay with an abysmal movement system on top of already unplayable game mechanics and physics so broken that clipping through the map is almost a cinch.”
- “The gameplay feels like a failed FPS project from the early 90s, but I guess that's the FPS creator's doing.”

- “The graphics are in retro style.”
- “In fact, some of the design choices were aesthetically pleasing.”
- “While the game runs smoothly because of the constructor engine, the graphics are fixed at a 4:3 aspect ratio and will be stretched if you have a widescreen monitor.”
- “The game as a whole is programmed horribly with terrible controls, graphics, and game mechanics that all come together creating a mess that's literally impossible to beat.”
- “If graphics could vomit, 'Sector' is the kind of thing that would come out.”

- “The challenge of discovering the way to open the doors echoes the innate human quest for understanding.”
- “Excited to embark on my new quest to find a key, I departed back the way I came.”
- “The cohesion and overall storyline is well... non-existent.”
- “You wouldn't know the game has any story whatsoever though, there's not even so much as a stagnant in-game screen explaining any of it; it's all from the store page.”
- “Well, too bad there's no trace of this story in the game and that sector itself looks and plays like a bad amateurish project made with a smattering of generic assets thrown together.”
