“The graphics, the gameplay, the levels—everything is brilliant, plus it's free on Steam.”
“Great gameplay, friendly community, exciting co-op, and multiple classes that fit your playstyle.”
“Although this is a free game, its mechanics are marvelous, it is very fun, and the graphics are very good as well.”
“This game, on the other hand, employs every single mechanic which turns the game into absolute garbage.”

The story aspect of the game has received criticism for its lack of originality and repetitive missions, leading to a grindy experience that many players find dull. While some enjoy the cooperative missions and the overall gameplay, the narrative is described as uninspired and lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for more engaging and varied storytelling. Overall, the game's focus on multiplayer and PvE elements overshadows any meaningful narrative development.
“Amazing missions”
“Fun multiplayer game with several game modes such as co-op and many team-based missions.”
“This should have been a perfectly decent FPS that played in the vein of COD, with co-op missions too, making it all the better.”
“The PvE aspect only goes so far, due to the repetition of every mission being exactly like the last but in a different map.”
“Dull colors, crummy story.”
“This game is beyond what it used to be, as the developers are more concerned with selling the latest battle pass and other junk than actually making their game work.”

The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many users praising their quality and smoothness, especially for a free-to-play title. Players appreciate the ability to adjust settings for lower-end computers, and the visuals are often compared favorably to those of premium games like Call of Duty. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the immersive gameplay experience, despite some minor criticisms regarding specific updates.
“The graphics, the gameplay, the levels—everything is brilliant, plus it's free on Steam.”
“I personally believe this game has so much potential and, by the looks of things, this game already has really great graphics, gameplay mechanics, and an awesome selection of weapons and armor upgrades... it could just as well be on the same level as Call of Duty and Medal of Honor.”
“The graphics in this game are fantastic.”
“This game gives you a good FPS experience, but the only bad thing I would say about it is the graphics.”
“Without even letting me see a game menu, and not allowing me to adjust any controls or graphic settings, which I was 100% sure were messed up by the update (and I was right...), the game throws me into the assault class tutorial.”
“The game is literally like Call of Duty with alien things running around, but with small maps and not great guns or graphics.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, often requiring numerous attempts to progress with minimal rewards. Many express frustration over the time investment needed to achieve goals, especially without spending real money, leading to a perception that the game is more of a grind than an enjoyable experience. Despite these criticisms, some still see value in the game for its free-to-play model and potential to occupy time.
“After the first 10 games, it's just farming. If you don't buy stuff with real money, the whole game is game after game after game of farming. I remember beating a level after failing 15 times, and the level takes forever to beat. When I finally beat it, I got almost no cash and a hat that sucked. On top of that, it has a timer, so you can't use it after an hour, and not an hour of being online, but an hour even when you are away. Anyway, if you want this game, get it because it's free and will keep you busy for a few hours. Hope this helped you.”
“That's trash and not worth even wasting my time on grinding.”

Overall, the monetization strategy appears to detract from the overall experience for many users.
“This game is a pay-to-win mess with too many microtransactions. It feels like someone had the genius idea to create a bland, laggy, hacker-riddled game that has okay gunplay at most.”
“Really nice gameplay and good graphics for a free-to-play game, but I really dislike the microtransactions.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs, unfair advantages due to ping manipulation, and rampant cheating. Players also express frustration over the pay-to-win mechanics and the temporary nature of in-game items, which further detracts from the overall experience.
“This game is a buggy nightmare. The constant cheaters and the pay-to-win weapons make it frustrating. I don't even get to keep half of them, and if I want all that, I have to spend $50 on a weapon skin just to keep it. Plus, the loot boxes are a joke. Why make me spend all that money and time to grab even low or mid-grade items if I only get 3 hours with them?”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable. I can't enjoy the experience when I'm constantly being booted out.”
“Stability is a major issue; I often experience lag spikes and disconnections that ruin the gameplay.”

58%Warface Review
Warface is a pretty, competent shooter with a poor free-to-play model than doesn’t do anything to stand out from the crowd, and in an age with an overabundance shooters and a number of excellent free-to-play titles, that simply isn’t good enough.
