    • “Honestly, there are not many cons, as long as you don't expect Battlefield 1 level graphics and are comfortable with smooth locomotion, you should get this game.”
    • “Turning is awful, shooting sucks, your character rotates themselves while trying to aim, overall not polished, horrible graphics, textures that seem like they've been stretched for a mile and a half longer than they were meant for, in some spots you can see right through the map, and you walk on water like you're Jesus.”

    • “Graphics are like Nintendo 64.”
  • gameplay143 mentions

However, many users note significant issues such as underdeveloped mechanics, bugs, and poor graphics, which detract from the overall experience. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and has potential, it requires further polish and updates to reach its full capabilities.

    • “The gameplay is smooth, graphics are nothing fancy but the gameplay is great.”
    • “The fact that this game is in VR and plays extremely smoothly in server, along with the fact that the map is small, filled with choke points and POIs, and finally there is always something going on at all times during the game, gives it that high-octane feeling that I feel PUBG lacked.”
    • “Unfortunately, the game feels underdeveloped, mechanically bugged, and abandoned at the same time.”
    • “The gun mechanics are not there, and I think most of the players are just bots. There is no healing, no response to hits, and the shooting feels like you're wielding a Nerf gun.”
    • “But as of now, it is nothing but a quick early alpha test with buggy and uncomfortable gameplay mechanics.”
  • stability53 mentions

    • “The game is super buggy and feels like a free, poorly made demo you have to pay for.”
    • “The game's servers never work, and if you really want to be pissed off, buy this game because when you're in mid-game and it just freezes and lags the whole time, it will just make you wish you threw your money in the trash.”
