The gameplay of 'Time Break 2121' is marred by significant design flaws that hinder its core mechanics, making progression frustrating rather than challenging. While the concept of a bullet time shooter with reversed mechanics is intriguing and offers a unique experience, the execution suffers from choppy controls and an environment that seems to undermine the gameplay. Overall, despite some interesting elements, the gameplay fails to deliver a satisfying experience.
- “The gameplay is pretty interesting; it's sort of like 'Superhot' but reversed. Being able to run as fast as a bullet is pretty cool, and you basically feel like a lethal speedster.”
- “'Time Break 2121' is a first-person bullet time shooter directly inspired by the more popular (and refined) game 'Superhot', but implements reversed mechanics where the player slows time while moving rather than standing.”
- “This means playing the game in real-time is pretty much impossible, and you have to utilize the bullet time mechanic in order to progress.”
- “The gameplay just doesn't work, and you see why in the very first levels.”
- “It's like the environment itself is intentionally designed to make the main game's mechanic fail.”
- “Now, many of the problems lie within the gameplay itself, creating a game that becomes increasingly frustrating to play, not because of the game being difficult by nature, but because the game has many design flaws that make it more unfair than not.”

The music in the game is thematically fitting and features cool electronic tracks that enhance the classic sci-fi atmosphere, contributing to an enjoyable experience. However, players have noted that the volume is excessively loud with no options to adjust it, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.
- “It sounds awesome and the music also isn't bad.”
- “Combined with cool electronic music in accordance to the stunning classic-sci-fi scenarios, and you're set for a really fun experience where every level plays different than the previous one.”
- “The music is thematic but isn't that great.”
- “There's no way to lower the music volume or any volume for that matter, and the music plays obnoxiously loud throughout the entire game with no way to change it.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting detailed visuals that can hinder gameplay, particularly in dodging mechanics. Critics point out the use of unappealing assets from the Unreal Engine marketplace, resulting in a visually inconsistent experience, while others appreciate the overall aesthetic of certain maps. Additionally, the graphics options menu lacks essential controls, such as sensitivity adjustments.
- “Good visuals; playing some of the maps in this game, they seem visually appealing for the most part.”
- “It has bad and unnecessary collisions, with graphics so detailed that it makes dodging bullets confusing. Every issue mentioned about the game 'Superhot' doesn't apply here.”
- “There are two option buttons, both of which bring you to the same graphics options screen, but neither has a sensitivity control.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and context, with players expressing a desire for more background on the characters' abilities and the world itself. This absence of narrative elements is seen as a missed opportunity to engage players and encourage longer playtime.
- “Lack of story; I really want to know how we got our abilities, or at least have some insight into this world and its narrative. I feel like a compelling story would keep players engaged for a longer time.”
- “The story is underdeveloped and fails to provide any meaningful context or depth to the characters and their motivations.”
- “There is no real narrative drive; the plot feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay invested in the game.”

- “The game itself is good, but the levels are incredibly difficult and there are a lot of glitches as well.”
