- “From the outstanding graphics to the hyper-engaging gameplay, this game never fails to deliver.”
- “Aside from the game actually looking decent visually, the gameplay is so sussy among us irl kinda suspect and boring, so I don't know if it's worth playing. If it's a few cents, maybe it's worth it, but aside from that, it's a no from me.”
- “Healing doesn't work, reloading doesn't work, switching weapons doesn't work, guns are unresponsive and floaty. You still can move the camera in the menu and the cursor is stuck in one place, therefore you can't even quit this game. Picking up stuff doesn't work, enemies exploding upon death is such a bad mechanic because it makes melee weapons useless, and if you want to save yourself with a gun when an enemy is close, you will still die.”
- “It is the same enemies and gameplay loop with all the problems listed previously.”
