The reviews highlight frustration with the game's cross-platform multiplayer functionality, as users are unable to connect with friends on different VR systems despite the game's claims. This limitation has led to disappointment among players who expected seamless interaction across platforms.
- “I bought this because it advertised cross-play, but as of right now there is no way for me to join my Quest friends with my Vive.”
- “Sure, if I had three Oculus Rifts, or three PSVRs, or three Oculus Quests connected to Oculus Link (how I use it on Steam), I would get a list of who is online on that platform. But unless they've done a new update that I haven't seen yet, you can't yet see or choose to connect to specific people on other platforms.”
