- “The game is locked at 40-50 fps, has a very buggy UI and hit registration, and the servers don't work well with constant ping spikes. It's disappointing to see the state this game is in after years of development; it's just not ready, especially at $17.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for poor performance, with noticeable lag and jankiness. New players may struggle to progress due to a heavily score-based reward system that feels outdated and unwelcoming.

- “I experienced long loading times and inconsistent performance, which really detracts from the overall experience.”
