What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players report severe matchmaking issues with long queue times and a lack of active players, making it difficult or impossible to find matches. Common complaints include no queue status information, a black loading screen with no feedback, and error messages. Some players suggest adding bots as placeholder opponents and improving queue transparency to help retain players during the early launch period, though the game's actual gameplay remains largely untested due to these connectivity barriers.

waited for ~10 min in queue before giving up devs, if you still plan on working on this game here are some tips. loading screen needs some kind of status report, like how many people are in the queue and what is estimated time to start. you can add bots as a filler at the beginning, do not try to disguise them as players like survival games do. just call them bot[random name], and then as soon as a new player joins it could replace one of the bots. other players will be more willing to wait for matches while shooting some bots over staring in to a black screen. cant say much about the game since i did not get a chance to try it.. only saw main menu
