The gameplay significantly expands on the first game with deeper crafting mechanics, strategic progression, and high replayability, balancing tactile interaction with engaging risk-based management. While praised for its addictive loop and variety of content, it faces criticism for clunky grabbing mechanics and some bugs that affect immersion, though these issues are expected to be addressed in future updates. Overall, it delivers a unique and enjoyable VR experience despite some rough edges.
- “Pbp took the gameplay of PBVR and improved it by expanding the amount of crafts on offer, making the game one of the most replayable VR games with a leaderboard and permanent progression unlocks via the leverage system. This system works by taking customer orders and completing them to gain reputation, which is later converted into leverage spent on unlocks that can make crafting easier or more efficient, or give you more storage containers, along with many cosmetic items and new skins—all free.”
- “The result is a colorful and mischievous management experience that balances tactile crafting mechanics with lighthearted satire and strategic risk-taking.”
- “At its core, the gameplay revolves around producing and selling goods that range from mildly questionable to outright illegal under the city’s strict prohibition rules.”
- “However, this game being released just a few days ago still has many bugs. At the moment, things like the grabbing mechanic are absolutely awful. The hands slowly snap to objects and then teleport back to the controller, causing objects to be flung everywhere when just trying to pick up one object.”
- “The trackpads work fine for the crafting mechanics but can behave strangely and inconsistently when pressed for the UI mechanics.”
- “This mechanic was much more fleshed out in the first game, and I wish there was at least a way to switch back to that.”

The game shows promise, especially for co-op VR play, but is currently plagued by various bugs and stability issues, such as rubberbanding and glitches with in-game objects. While some players find it relatively stable compared to other VR titles and appreciate developer efforts to improve, others recommend waiting for updates to address the persistent bugs. Overall, stability remains a concern but is actively being worked on.
- “As a dev myself, I know how difficult it is to make a functioning and bug-free VR game, and this one is the most bug-free I have played in the last months.”
- “I really wanted to like the game and give it another chance; after a few good long bug-free sessions, I can say that it was probably an issue on my end.”
- “Everything is genuinely so buggy. Please do not buy this game until they release an update that fixes all the issues.”
- “I love the concept of this game, especially for co-op, but it's still very buggy at the moment.”
- “Yes, the game can sometimes have buggy situations, and in my multiplayer sessions I've experienced rubberbanding on the shelves, but it's a VR game.”

- “As a person who thoroughly enjoyed the other game, I can say that in terms of graphics and the overall feel of the game, this is a huge step in the right direction.”
- “I get why the devs did this but I think for the PC version, dedicated graphics options should be added with some levels given extra details for those who play on PC or Quest 3 (if it can handle it).”
- “The graphics are very similar to the first game, which I personally liked a lot. (Note: This implies a lack of improvement in graphics.)”
- “As a note on the game's visuals, it's a strong stylized art style that is simple, clean and easy on the eyes. (While mostly positive, it suggests minimalism that might not appeal to those seeking more detailed graphics.)”
