The gameplay of this VR shooter is widely praised for its exceptional gun mechanics, smooth controls, and fast-paced action, making it enjoyable for both casual and competitive players.

Despite these drawbacks, the game is considered one of the best in its genre, offering a satisfying blend of realism and arcade-style fun.

- “This game has the best gun 'sim-ish' mechanics of any VR game I've played.”
- “The gameplay is solid, graphics are nice, and there are so many different maps and modes.”
- “This game has a lot of potential, but the weapon mechanics need a ton of polishing and the game needs optimization in order to stop the repeated black-screening.”
- “Quick-paced shooter that's easy to grasp; however, when compared to the other two, the gameplay and controls are not fluid, the recoil/bullet spread feels off, and the netcode needs some serious work.”

- “The gameplay is solid, graphics are nice, so many different maps and different modes.”

- “Some maps end up being far more demanding than others, and in some of the more proof-of-concept type maps, the graphics are just awful, with small texture tiles and flat 'grass' surfaces galore.”
