**Gray Zone Warfare is a fun and promising game, but several major issues still need to be addressed.**
One of the game’s biggest drawbacks is the unrealistic NPC detection and accuracy. NPCs can spot and shoot you from extremely long distances with incredible precision, even when you are hidden in darkness, concealed by vegetation, or positioned somewhere they should not realistically be able to see. Sometimes they seem to know your exact location without any logical reason. This is not simply challenging AI—it often feels unfair and seriously damages the tactical experience. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest setbacks of the game.
The increased aggressiveness of the NPCs is actually a positive improvement because it makes combat more intense and dangerous. However, their unrealistic durability is a major problem. Sometimes a player must empty an entire fully loaded 60-round magazine into a single NPC before they finally go down. That is frustrating rather than challenging.
Secondary missions can also be difficult and time-consuming. This would not be a major issue if the rewards justified the effort, but the reputation and XP rewards are currently far too low.
The latest update has also introduced serious stability problems. I am sometimes completely thrown out of the game, with a significant risk that I will not be able to reconnect in time and will lose everything my character is carrying. Many of the friends I regularly play with have experienced the same issue, so it clearly does not appear to be an isolated problem. In an extraction-style game, crashes and disconnections are especially punishing.
Despite these problems, I genuinely love the game. The concept feels fresh, and the experience manages to bring both frustration and a lot of fun. Gray Zone Warfare has enormous potential, but the developers urgently need to improve NPC detection, long-range accuracy, enemy durability, mission rewards, and overall stability.
