The reviews are quite mixed, with a good portion of the players praising the game for its visual style and nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of 90s action movies. However, a significant number of reviewers criticize the combat system and describe driving mechanics as poorly executed, often citing technical issues and frequent bugs that hinder gameplay. Many appreciate the pricing strategy, but others feel that the game, in its current state, delivers an incomplete experience with repetitive missions and a world that feels underdeveloped.
