A high skill ceiling shooter that is fun to master for 125 reviewers, GunZ: The Duel is dragged down by netcode and hackers; it scores 51.4.

👍 Strengths

125 reviews find it super fun to learn, with a real sense of accomplishment. 16 welcome refreshed models, artwork and map textures, and 15 praise its depth and very high skill ceiling, the most upvoted noting the classic movement is intact.

Multiplayer appears in 60% of analyzed reviews and ranks 631st of 642. 139 reviews criticize peer to peer connections and high ping. 54 report stability problems, the most upvoted citing hackers, poor optimization, unstable servers and removed features, and 22 report hackers, the most upvoted meeting one who wiped a whole lobby.
