- “Runs great, feels great.”
- “As of 29.05.2021, the game is starved for content and a little bit buggy. I encountered 2 or 3 bugs in 80 minutes of play; it's not game-breaking bad, but it is indeed something. Some things just don't really make any sense, and for some reason, the bots use CS:GO pro player names as their nicknames, making it very easy to distinguish between bots and real players.”
- “Numerous glitches, like a delay in part destruction.”
- “War Builder League is still buggy, but as things stand right now, it's really promising.”
