- “Smooth natural movement, clear not blurry graphics, and brilliant simple game mechanics.”
- “The landscape graphics are at least as good or better than PUBG, the guns are better than PUBG, great job on the bushes, grass, and general foliage.... rock textures are better than PUBG.”
- “Not only are the visuals totally stunning, but great sound design is also delivered - distant rifle shots echoing across the landscape have a distinct direction, so it is possible to figure out the general direction and distance of your opponents.”
- “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.”
- “The graphics are horrible... graphics and geometry of the game look like it's an iPhone game from 5 years ago, by far the most off-putting part of the game.”
- “Graphics are like Nintendo 64.”
