Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Yes this is in the early stages, but it still is fun and has good groundwork that could be built on to make a really fun game.PROSDecent story for this type of gameMultiple character types (assault, dual blades, huge sword, sniper, etc), but only one mission with each typeLots of play types (FPS, space combat, driving, even a mech fight)Everything is in a passable state for this early of a buildCONSNot optimized at all, expect frame dropsScenes are basic and hopefully get expandedControls work, but are not tightFun for a few hours and for this price not bad at all

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
RPG elements such as progression or upgrades exist to add a sense of growth, but they remain relatively light, serving more as a pacing tool than as a system requiring deep planning or optimization.
