User Reviews

For a game that has just been released it’s very fun. The abilities seem to be quite balanced. Of course, there is an aspect of RNG where you can’t always win no matter how good you may be, but unlike most other games, it doesn’t ruin the fun. There are of course a few bugs when it comes to the servers which is expected upon release. Sometimes the game may not register a jump which can cost you the contest unfortunately. You will visually see your character jump just to be teleported back to where you were and ultimately die. Other than that, I don’t see anything wrong with the game! Keep the cosmetic items coming and everyone will be happy.Edit: I see some people complaining about how they are unable to progress because they are losing trophies. I personally like the trophy system as the entire point of it is to be used as a ranking system. If you’re good enough you will reach rank 70 and not everyone is supposed to be able to reach rank 70. I have reached rank 70 and it took less than a week, so it is more than possible for those who deserve it.I did find an issue with the new challenges that were released. Since I am already rank 70, I am unable to complete any “Gain Competitive Ranks” challenges. 

This is absolutely the best game I have ever played. I would be lying if I didn’t disclose its share of problems as well. Great interactive game, that’s free. Able to develop relationships with other players and immerse yourself in the squid games world, in this game. Multiple character options, different games, form alliances, and multiple chat room options. Have to log into your Netflix account to use the microphone, while playing in a party with others. This game also has multiple glitches and randomly loses connection, even when you’re on WiFi. One glitch makes you stuck in the same place while racing to get to the end in racing games. The game isn’t frozen, you can see others passing you. When you try to run or jump, it will glitch and you are back in the same place; you are stuck in a loop with little to no progress. Another glitch forces your character to die in survival games. No fingers on the controls and character’s legs are not running but your character is shifting in the direction to fall off the ledge, platform, etc. Last major glitch is the game freezing after a round is over and it fails to advance your character to the next round. Each game has 3 rounds and if this glitch occurs after round 1, you will lose ladder points. Game is unable to detect that this occurred due to a glitch and you don’t get those ladder points back. Only way out of this glitch is by closing the game and restarting. These glitches are the only reason why I cannot give this game a 5 star rating; hopefully you find this helpful. 

Conclusion

With Squid Game: Unleashed, you can experience the chilling world of the Squid Game series like never before. Whether you're a fan of the show or just looking for a thrilling multiplayer action game, Squid Game: Unleashed provides hours of brutal fun.
