- “The game needs cohesion, it needs a story, a plot, stakes; it needs a lot of things to really immerse the player into the world.”

- “While I appreciate that there's a lot of missions, the actual quests are identical; every gang of thugs is three men with guns and three heavies, no variety, every fire is two fires on a building, every meteor can only be handled the same way.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its repetitive nature and reliance on simple mechanics, which can lead to a lack of engagement over time. While the flight mechanics and some combat elements are praised for their fun and smooth execution, the overall experience is marred by bugs, limited mission variety, and a need for more depth and narrative cohesion.

- “The gameplay is fun, challenging, and just feels great to play.”

- “Beneath the surface, however, the gameplay loop reveals a more uneven experience.”
- “Many of the rescue scenarios and missions rely on simple mechanics or repeated patterns, which can start to feel routine after extended play sessions.”
- “The gameplay is repetitive, tons of annoying bugs, etc. Don't get me wrong, for an early access game it isn't that bad.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its AI-generated quality, which often feels overly dramatic or out of place, particularly during specific missions like the burger job.

- “The music that plays while you do the burger flipping job is very obviously AI generated which made me go back and look at the store page.”

- “The most funny game I've played this year! :D”

- “Bugs, inconsistent animations, and occasional world glitches can interrupt immersion and make the city feel less alive than intended.”

The grinding aspect of the game is characterized by repetitive tasks and a slow progression, particularly after reaching level 15, which can make the experience feel tedious.
