“Poor graphics (max resolution is 1650x1200, and that for a game that was released in November 2016), poorly optimized (52 fps on an i7-4790k with two GTX 980s), poor controls, buggy.”
“The graphics on 'ultra' are about equivalent to a 16-bit game; shadows are very blocky.”

The story aspect of the game is described as somewhat chaotic, particularly during missions where players must perform specific tasks, such as towing vehicles. Users report experiencing confusion and frustration due to unexpected glitches, which detracts from the overall narrative experience.
“The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their journeys.”
“The narrative twists and turns in unexpected ways, making each mission feel fresh and exciting.”
“I love how the story unfolds through the missions, revealing deeper layers of the plot with each completed task.”
“On the second mission, you have to tow one of your vehicles. It tells you to back up to the vehicle and, once in position, press the indicated key to connect. I did that, and then... I'm not even sure what happened, but both vehicles were stuck together and bounced all over the screen, in and out of trees, upside down, right side up, backwards, and forwards.”
“Some missions are even tricky for me.”
