Despite some users managing to run the game at higher settings with decent frame rates, the overall consensus is that the graphical quality is subpar and disappointing.

    • “The graphics are decent.”
    • “Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 1060 3GB runs Far Cry 5 at highest graphics at 60fps.”
    • “This game has an identity crisis going on, poor graphics, poor model animations, and a variety of other issues.”
    • “The graphics look to be from 2003.”
    • “Awful graphics, comparable to PS2 quality.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches that significantly impact gameplay, including awkward controls and clipping issues. While some players note that the game functions adequately despite these problems, the overall consensus is that it is plagued by instability.

    • “Buggy.”
    • “Not a good game; it has awkward controls and other glitches, but I play it once in a blue moon.”
    • “Major issues regarding clipping and just basically buggy to the maximum that you can think a game like this could be.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its poor optimization, repetitive mechanics, and lack of challenge, with players easily exploiting the environment to become invincible. The limited content, including only three maps and a dead multiplayer mode, further detracts from the experience, while issues like crashing and unresponsive controls hinder enjoyment. Overall, the gameplay feels lackluster and in need of significant improvements to enhance engagement and challenge.

    • “And this basic gameplay is what saves this game from being a thumbs down.”
    • “If this game had co-op/multiplayer and wouldn't crash every 10 minutes and if it were a lot more challenging by maybe adding enemies that can climb cars too or something, I think first the improvements should be directed to the main gameplay, movement controls, framerate, preventing the crashes and so on.”
    • “Terrible optimization, textures glitch over each other all over the place, boring waves of the same zombie charging you mindlessly. The weapon purchase mechanic just involves dropping whatever you have and rebuying at full price at the store - cannot have more than one weapon - only 3 maps, dead multiplayer.”
    • “The gameplay itself has hardly any challenge; you can outsmart all enemies by simply jumping onto a car, staying in the middle of it, and you're invincible.”
    • “Gameplay is just boring, repetitive, and doesn't provide any sort of good challenge.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is severely lacking, with users reporting horrendous performance, frequent texture glitches, and significant frame drops, making it nearly unplayable at times. While the developer has promised future patches to address these issues, the current state is characterized by a frustrating experience and limited gameplay options.

    • “The crash is sudden and not related to performance, although there are parts of the map that tend to frame drop due to high poly models. The dev is promising to optimize the game and fix the crashing issue via a patch.”
    • “Terrible optimization, textures glitch over each other all over the place, boring waves of all the same zombie charging you mindlessly, weapon purchase mechanic just involves dropping whatever you have and rebuying at full price at the store - cannot have more than one weapon - only 3 maps, dead multiplayer.”
    • “Absolute disgusting framerate and performance, almost unplayable at times.”
    • “The crash is sudden and not related to performance although there are parts of the map that tend to frame drop due to high poly models (just guessing here). The dev is promising to optimize the game and fix the crashing issue via a patch.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and primarily conveyed through its three maps, which transition from farmland to a city and finally to a wasteland, the origin of the zombies, without offering a deeper narrative or character development.

    • “The game has 3 maps that don't tell a story other than the order they come; you go from farmland to a city and then to a wasteland area that is the origin of the zombies.”
    • “The narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters or the world.”
    • “There are too many plot holes and inconsistencies that undermine the overall experience of the story.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users suggest that replayability enhances the enjoyment of the game, indicating that the ability to revisit and experience the game multiple times contributes positively to its overall fun factor.

    • “The replayability of this game is incredible; every playthrough feels fresh and exciting!”
    • “I love how each decision I make leads to different outcomes, making me want to replay it again and again.”
    • “With multiple story paths and character choices, the replayability keeps me coming back for more!”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is reminiscent of a B-horror movie, with its absurdity providing comedic value, particularly through the clumsy behavior of zombies that run in circles and create chaotic situations. Players find enjoyment in the unintentional hilarity of the game's mechanics, making for a fun and entertaining experience.

    • “It's like a B-horror movie; so bad it's funny, which could be good.”
    • “I was laughing as I camped in an army tent outside a medical facility. The zombies have no navigation around props, so they just start running in circles and freaking out.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been praised for its engaging soundtrack, which enhances the overall gaming experience and complements the gameplay effectively. Players appreciate the variety and quality of the compositions, noting that they contribute significantly to the game's atmosphere.
