Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Of course it's perfectly fine to have a different opinion of an obscure Ukrainian FPS game from 1997, but many of these people today fall into the same trappings as the small but dedicated group of gaming journalists from the 90s who claimed that Chasm was an honest to god "Quake killer".

The last positive thing I'll mention is the soundtrack, which is very appropriate and atmospheric without being too bombastic.
