The gameplay is described as having a mix of depth and variety, with some users enjoying the competitive aspects and leaderboard challenges, while others feel it lacks originality and depth. Despite some repetitive mechanics, players appreciate the high production value and the potential for extended playtime through content unlocking and upgrades. Overall, the experience can be enjoyable, but it may not offer enough innovation to stand out in the VR genre.
“I have already gotten 8 hours of gameplay out of it and I still have a lot more content to unlock!”
“Each game is essentially $10 and though there are upgrades you can save up star points to purchase, there are arguably endless hours of gameplay to try and beat your previous score or work the public leaderboards and different game modes to change things up; end to end though you're looking at a minute or two per level.”
“Good graphics, good gameplay, high production value.”
“There is barely any depth to the gameplay that is here.”
“There is no original gameplay in this; for a Steam-backed VR special, it's lacking.”
