Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay kinda feels like tom clanceys The Division (which they should 100% lean into more for smoothness) with many many extra systems.

Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
With this many systems I would say it is definitely worth the price I got it on sale at 9$, in time with continued devwork and some optimization it will be worth 15 easily, giving some copies for youtubers to play when its more refined I would say this could easily make alotta money and be special.
