What players say
Players mostly love its chaotic, physics-driven multiplayer fun with friends and its free price, but many complain about toxic lobbies, host rage-quits and performance.
Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as a fast, chaotic arena shooter where grappling hook movement, ragdoll physics and quick weapon swaps make matches funny, especially with friends. Many players praise the smooth movement, the variety of maps and modes, and the fact that it is free with no pay pressure. Some note it runs well even on modest hardware. The main complaints are toxic players, lobbies that the host shuts down when losing, and cheaters, with some asking for official servers and better matchmaking. Some players also find grappling retraction and aiming frustrating, and a few report crashes on Linux or high PC temperatures. Recent reviews are more mixed on stability and cheating than the older helpful ones, and a few dislike the game's style of play, but the overall tone stays positive.
