Gameplay is criticized for being clunky and plagued by numerous bugs, including issues with the user interface, controls, and mechanics like respawn points and crafting benches. Despite these problems, some users appreciate the game's detailed design and find the core mechanics relatively easy to understand.
“The detail is awesome and the mechanics are easy enough to follow.”
“Just clunky, clunky, clunky... the user interface, the controls, the animations, the sounds (what little there are), the gameplay.”
“Cooked meat cannot be eaten, respawn points not working or disappearing, random permadeath/unable to find a body, base disappearing, bugged crafting benches (even when fueled and turned on), gun mechanics, etc.”
