Gameplay

Speaking of unforgiving mechanics, the game’s blend of realism and arcade-style lethality is a core part of its design.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While some players have voiced concerns about cheaters, it's worth noting that the line between a genuinely skilled player and an illegitimate one can be incredibly fine in a game with such lethal combat (Ai one-shot kills).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The most recent major updates for Gray Zone Warfare, including the Patch 0.3.5.0 which involved an Engine Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.5, have brought substantial improvements to both graphics and optimization.
Story

34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The main story missions are pretty good for the most part (minus the hunter's paradise one).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is very good especially regarding environmental sounds, and player/combat-related sounds are good, although some directional improvements would be beneficial.
