“Tru or Die: Chiraq offers an engaging and immersive gameplay experience that shows a lot of potential.”
“The core mechanics are solid, and the concept behind the game is both innovative and exciting.”
“The entrepreneurship system is incredibly well-implemented, allowing players to make real-world decisions that have tangible consequences on their gameplay.”
“Bugs, bad graphics, multiplayer is buns, missions get boring, and NPCs are not frequent and lack mechanics.”
“Trash mechanics and gameplay.”
“Definitely a good concept, pretty fun, but I didn't see any NPCs besides the vendors and mission ones. The town was barren with no people or cars going around, mechanics are not quite there yet. I feel this game is worth maybe $15-$20, and the state it's in right now I ended up refunding and am going to keep watching for updates, so for now I wouldn't recommend it especially for the price but if they make the game better I will come back and change that.”

Overall, players acknowledge the game's potential but highlight significant optimization issues, including performance problems, broken interactions, and a lack of content. While there is optimism for future improvements, many feel that the current state detracts from the experience, especially given the game's price point.
“It's pretty cool, not gonna lie. It needs improvements, but I'm sure they're on the way. I see its future being fully optimized to really help the open-world shooter genre.”
“The map isn't really that big at all contrary to what they say in the game description. Interacting with things is wonky and broken, performance is mediocre for the fact that there's nothing really going on in the world (no traffic, pedestrians, most NPCs don't move, etc.). Questing is broken; you finish a quest and it doesn't tell you what to do or where to go next. Grow plots are almost impossible to interact with when close together, and there's an overall lack of content in my opinion for a $30 game.”
“I like it; the game is wonky in a lot of areas but has a really good idea and the graphics aren't bad either. It could probably use some optimization.”

“Movement is frustrating, the game is way too grindy, and there's next to no content. Weapons are locked behind a level system with no way of knowing what your level is.”
