The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting decent visuals but significant performance issues, particularly during intense action scenes. While a few users praise the graphics as outstanding or solid, many express frustration over the game's high demands on hardware, leading to instability and stuttering even on high-end systems. Overall, there is a consensus that while the graphics can be enjoyable, they require further optimization to enhance performance and reduce glitches.

- “Exciting gameplay mixed with fun and easy-to-learn controls, as well as decent graphics and few glitches make this one of my favorite games to play on the Vive.”
- “Solid game controls and nice graphics make Cyberthreat a top choice of mine for Vive titles.”
- “Visually unspectacular, and yet very demanding of your graphics card.”
- “Until performance can get fixed, I can't recommend this one. With a 1080 Ti and 7700K with zero supersampling, I can't keep a stable framerate when a bunch of robots are flying around, even with graphics all the way down to 2 (which looks really awful).”
- “I don't care that the graphics are bland, but I feel like I shouldn't have to lower everything so far just to get a steady 90 frames.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting severe stuttering, frame drops, and glitches, even on high-end hardware. While some users noted improvements following recent updates, the overall consensus is that the game still requires substantial optimization to provide a smooth experience, particularly in VR. Until these performance issues are addressed, many reviewers cannot recommend the game.
- “Performance has doubled, locomotion options, speed options, lots of choice to dial in your preferred play style.”
- “Very good, seems to run really well for me but I notice they added recent optimization updates.”
- “Dev was quick to release performance boost patches.”
- “The game itself is poorly optimized, the game is glitchy all over the place, and to add to it, the new 'climbing' mechanic is a case of 'wtf do I do with this?!' Great on paper, don't get me wrong, but the devs are pushing this too far the wrong way at the time of writing this.”
- “Until performance can get fixed, I can't recommend this one. With a 1080ti and 7700k with zero supersampling, I can't keep a stable framerate when a bunch of robots are flying around, even with graphics all the way down to 2 (which looks really awful).”
- “I may not play this a lot right now, just because optimization is still needed to run the game smoothly.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many campaign missions feeling repetitive and similar. While players enjoy the structured missions and open-world gameplay, they express a desire for a more engaging narrative and additional multiplayer modes to enhance the overall experience.

- “Although I haven't completed all of them yet, I enjoyed the missions very much!”
- “It's really everything I'd been looking forward to: structured missions, open world, & frantic (as you like - again, can hide/snipe/run).”
- “Although there's a lot of campaign missions, a lot of them feel too similar.”
- “This one, so far, seems to be missing much of a story, but there is a lot of room to teleport around in and action can get crazy.”
- “If the developer creates more of a narrated storyline, team vs team PvP multiplayer (and perhaps a coop mode) in the future, this game will be awesome!”
