Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I hated this game in its first public branch but it has come a long road and feels much better now and as Surroundead he started to build his game the right way, low poly/no textures, building the features, the CORE, the game design and gameplay loop and has upgraded the graphics on the road.
