- “The game is very good, the graphics are just fantastic.”
- “The only reason I don't give this 10/10 is because 1) I personally just don't consider this a 10/10 game 2) graphics aren't the best and 3) it isn't a well-known game and its mechanics aren't too good.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players experiencing lag spikes, poor performance, and connectivity issues, even on high-end systems. Several users reported frustrating moments, such as game freezes and low frame rates, particularly during critical gameplay moments. While some found it playable despite these issues, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial optimization improvements.
- “Sometimes takes a few tries to connect to the player hosting, but otherwise runs smoothly.”
- “Had no performance issues as some of the reviews have mentioned; my friend using my very old gaming laptop had a big drop at the end, but other than that it was great.”
- “The game definitely needs better optimization, but it's okay since it's free-to-play.”
- “It gets some pretty bad lag spikes that can be really annoying along with other optimization/QoL issues. My friend's game froze really close to the end and we had to start over because there's no way to save or load a checkpoint. We both had to play on very low quality/resolution settings; the in-game voice chat is also questionable in terms of quality, but if you can deal with that, it's worth a play.”
- “The only big negative are the performance issues; it's not optimized at all.”
- “First off, it is not optimized, so even if you have a powerful PC, you are running it at 20-30 frames per second.”

- “However, the simplicity of the gameplay means that it lacks the depth and variety that more complex games offer.”
