Many reviews say the game has declined after recent updates, with the move to a newer engine and changes to physics. A large number of players complain about a toxic and language-diverse online community, plus an overall small online population that makes matchmaking hard. Monetization and paywalls for cosmetics are a frequent grievance, along with bugs and performance issues. Despite these problems, several reviews note that playing with friends remains enjoyable and that the game can be fun in multiplayer sessions when you can get into a match.
