Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that new players face a significant disadvantage due to weak starting weapons. It can take around 30 hours of grinding to unlock competitive guns, making it challenging to compete against more experienced players with superior arsenals.
“It's Call of Duty in VR, but as a new player, your guns are terrible. The pros not only have the experience advantage, but you have to spend 30 hours grinding your way to a gun that can actually compete against their overpowered arsenal they've unlocked.”

Users report significant stability issues, including game-breaking glitches that cause crashes shortly after loading and persistent bugs that affect character control, such as spinning uncontrollably. Restarting devices has not resolved these problems, indicating a need for improvements in stability.
“I've had game-breaking glitches where I would load in and it would crash after a couple of minutes, as well as a bug that made my character spin around in circles. Restarting my headset and computer did nothing.”
“The game frequently crashes, making it nearly impossible to progress. I've lost hours of gameplay due to these stability issues.”
“I encountered multiple bugs that caused the game to freeze, forcing me to restart. It's incredibly frustrating and ruins the experience.”

The graphics have been criticized for being dated and lacking polish, with some reviewers feeling that the game was hastily adapted from a flatscreen format to virtual reality, resulting in a subpar visual experience.
“Dated visuals aside, the game feels like a poorly designed flatscreen game that was turned into VR at the last minute.”
