  1. [R6] Standoff 2 3/5 · US Problems with the game on some devices: This is a very cool game, but after the interface update, the game started working terribly and constantly crashes. · translated
  2. [R12] Standoff 2 3/5 · US Ping from GOD: The game is sh*t, ping jumps from 480 to 999 even though my internet is good. It teleports across the entire map, AXLE, WHAT THE F*CK happened to the game? · translated

  5. [R3] Standoff 2 3/5 · US Game registration: The game is good, but the hit registration in this game is not very good. When you shoot an enemy close to you, you deal 0 damage, but they deal 200 to you. When an enemy plants a bomb, you manage to kill them, but the bomb continues to defuse for a few seconds and the other team wins. This isn't the first time I've encountered this, so minus 2 stars. · translated

  12. [R24] Standoff 2 3/5 · GB Everything is good: Everything is good, but developers, please make it possible to convert coins into gold. Also, today there are login problems, some players can't get into the game. · translated

  14. [R13] Standoff 2 2/5 · US To be honest: The game is dying with every update. The anti-cheat doesn't work at all. · translated
  15. [R17] Standoff 2 4/5 · US Normal game: Get rid of the cheaters and it's great. · translated
  16. [R22] Standoff 2 1/5 · US Beholder games and cheats in the game: Beholder games are almost impossible to pass. For example, in 'Prokur' locations, you don't have enough acceleration, which greatly affects your psyche. Or 'Labyrinth,' how is it possible to pass 3 floors in 5 minutes when 1 floor takes at least 1:30-2:00 minutes even for a professional, and for a beginner it's simply impossible? I also wanted to note that with each update, it becomes not m... · translated

  23. [R36] Standoff 2 3/5 · GB Good game but…: Its a great game and I really enjoy it but its kind of sad how you can win skins but for only 24 hours I dont even bother with that and apart from sprays and stickers you dont really get entertaining stuff on the pass
