story9 positive mentions
stability3 negative mentions
  • The game has great graphics with high-quality visuals and RTX support, offering a smoother and more immersive experience on PC compared to the Quest version.
  • Enjoyable gameplay with plenty of exploration, adventure, and multiplayer fun, especially when playing with friends or in private servers.
  • Strong modding support allows creativity and adds variety, making the game more engaging for those who enjoy customizing their experience.
  • The Steam version suffers from rampant modders and cheaters who disrupt gameplay, causing frustration and unfair experiences in most public servers.
  • Lack of crossplay between Steam and Meta Quest users divides the community and prevents friends on different platforms from playing together.
  • Frequent bugs, crashes, performance issues, and poor anti-cheat enforcement severely affect stability and overall playability.

  • story

    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 74% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story aspect is minimal and largely overshadowed by technical and community issues; players frequently mention frustrations with modders, server divides between Quest and Steam versions, and compatibility problems that hinder multiplayer experiences. While the game is praised for its concept and graphics, its narrative or story elements receive little attention or development. Overall, the user experience is marred by exploits and fragmentation rather than enriched by a compelling story.

    • “This game is one of the best VR games I have played yet. The graphics look great and can be adjusted in the in-game settings to match your computer's performance. The game is great overall.”
    • “I already played this game on Meta Quest and it's good, but the performance is much better on PC VR. I ran it at 120 fps when streaming from my Quest 2 and it has potential to be one of the best VR games on Steam.”
    • “It has completely redefined standards for the younger VR consumer market and opened up the Meta Quest industry by proving there is a massive, high-paying market ready to be tapped into.”
    • “Another massive issue is the quest compatibility situation.”
    • “The fact that quest 2 and quest 3 players can't always play together properly is absolutely ridiculous in a modern VR game.”
    • “The overwhelming number of modders ruins fair gameplay, the quest 2 and quest 3 compatibility issues split the player base, the bugs and performance problems make everything feel unstable, and the lack of meaningful fixes makes it seem like these problems aren't a priority.”

  • graphics

    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are widely praised for their high quality, detailed visuals, and smooth performance, especially on PC with good hardware, offering a significant improvement over the standalone Quest version. Users appreciate the customizable graphic settings and realistic effects, though some report occasional glitches or performance issues on lower-end systems. Overall, the visuals greatly enhance the immersive and enjoyable gameplay experience.

    • “This product is a very high-quality experience even though it's free on Meta. The graphics are insane, along with less toxic lobbies. Most Meta lobbies are very toxic anyways. Download this game; it's amazing.”
    • “The graphics are phenomenal, with great recording settings for any content creators wanting to start filmmaking. The game itself never gets boring and always gives chances for new opportunities.”
    • “The graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is smooth.”
    • “Lack of security/moderation overshadow the 'better graphics' which was the main selling point for the Steam version.”
    • “It was glitchy; the graphics made me cry. It's bad; stick to the normal version.”
    • “Modded as absolute crap, but graphics are peak.”

  • optimization

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The game offers decent optimization, especially on PCVR where it can run smoothly even on minimum-spec hardware, while the Meta Quest standalone version struggles with sub-60 FPS performance. However, performance inconsistencies, compatibility issues between Quest versions, and the heavy presence of mods and exploiters negatively impact the experience and stability. Despite these flaws, the game shows strong potential with adjustable graphics settings and promising PCVR performance.

    • “The meta standalone version of this game was great but an unoptimized mess, giving sub 60 fps. Since I have a pretty beefy GPU, I got stable 120 fps on mid settings.”
    • “I played this game on Meta Quest standalone for a while, but by playing this Steam VR port, it was very well optimized for my PC as well, since my PC uses the minimum requirement graphics card. Sure it has some issues, but I think it’s due to Steam Link, though my Wi-Fi was quite good.”
    • “This game is one of the best VR games I have played yet; the graphics look great and can be adjusted in the in-game settings to match your computer's performance.”
    • “One of the most frustrating things is when you convince your friends to get the game, only to discover that there are compatibility issues, performance differences, or other problems that make it difficult to actually play together.”
    • “Performance can also be a nightmare.”
    • “The overwhelming number of modders ruins fair gameplay, the Quest 2 and Quest 3 compatibility issues split the player base, the bugs and performance problems make everything feel unstable, and the lack of meaningful fixes makes it seem like these problems aren't a priority.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its smoothness, fun core mechanics, and impressive graphics, making it enjoyable especially with friends. However, frequent cheating, bugs, performance issues, and lack of effective anti-cheat measures undermine fair play and cause frustration, while platform compatibility problems further fragment the player base.

    • “The graphics are amazing, and the gameplay is smooth.”
    • “Long story short, it's a fun game to play with friends and has many fun, original mechanics and features you can play with.”
    • “The core gameplay is still as fun and chaotic as I remember, and bringing that experience to a new platform was a great move.”
    • “Sometimes mechanics don't work properly, sometimes interactions break, and sometimes things happen that make absolutely no sense at all.”
    • “The overwhelming number of modders ruins fair gameplay, the Quest 2 and Quest 3 compatibility issues split the player base, the bugs and performance problems make everything feel unstable, and the lack of meaningful fixes makes it seem like these problems aren't a priority.”
    • “But not-so-great anti-cheat and no cross platform gameplay sadly.”

  • humor

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users consistently praise the game's humor, describing it as funny, entertaining, and a key element that enhances the overall enjoyable and engaging experience. The humor is appreciated both in the gameplay and within the community, such as modders adding a comedic touch.

    • “We had lots of funny moments and unlocking these points called 'research points' would allow us to get more stuff.”
    • “So, I was searching the whole Steam store for a funny, fun, horror, and interesting exploration VR game, then I found Animal Company.”
    • “This game is fun, funny, and cool!”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The stability of the game is reported to be poor, with frequent bugs, glitches, and lag issues. Users also mention problematic online lobbies plagued by hackers. For a more stable experience, using a wired connection instead of streaming services like Steam Link is recommended.

    • “Do not buy this is a scam it runs like crap and is really buggy with only hackers in the lobbies!”
    • “There are glitches everywhere.”
    • “I would personally recommend cable instead of something like Steam Link because Steam Link can often be buggy and laggy.”

  • monetization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the monetization frustrating, citing intrusive ads and microtransactions that limit gameplay with daily restrictions, making the $20 price feel unjustified.

    • “For $20, it's not fun—especially since it's no different from the Quest version with the same annoying microtransactions. If there were no daily restrictions, it might have been worth the price, but with them, it's frustrating.”
    • “Ads.”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is generally cooperative but can be negatively impacted when cheating becomes common, weakening the overall sense of trust and collaboration among players.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is initially slow and dull during the first few days, but improves significantly once players progress and gain better weapons. While the added grind may not appeal to everyone, some players appreciate the challenge it brings.

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users found the emotional experience negatively impacted by glitches and poor graphics, leading to frustration rather than enjoyment.

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers a substantial amount of content that significantly enhances its replay value, providing players with many reasons to return.
