Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It is better compared to Eurotruck simulator, or Motortown, with some very janky Fallout New Vegas inspired setting and side-gameplay and some kinda unpolished and sparse late 00s/early 10s stalker mod levels of gameplay depth and experience.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Something that I would like to bring into attention here is the fact that the game does not have an active map, meaning that you get a still image and you have to figure out where you are using landmarks or a compass, which (including the map) are things that you buy with the option to enable an "easy map" from the menu so that you can bring it up using the assigned key.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
I did not expect that a game that I pirated at first (because I did not have much hope) would end up giving me more than 100 hours of play and some other displeasure, due to the optimization and the lack of autosave, but in general it is a good cheap game and if you are a normal human being and not an autistic like me, it will give you without problems about 10 to 15 hours of fun while you explore the world and find the POIs that are distributed, a good game I recommend
