The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning visuals and immersive environments, often described as breathtaking and comparable to high-end AAA titles. However, many users note that the game is graphically demanding, requiring a powerful PC to run smoothly, and some have experienced performance issues even on high-end systems. Overall, while the graphics are a highlight, optimization for lower-end PCs and better settings management are areas for improvement.
- “I'm blown away by the graphics, and love that in the morning sun, you can put your hand up to shade your eyes, and it works.”
- “The graphics are amazing, the mechanics are wonderful and work very well!!”
- “The graphics are astonishing, just standing on top of a mountain and looking around the world is amazing.”
- “The graphics settings are weirdly over-customizable, to the point where I can't get my game to look good no matter what I do.”
- “Nothing is changed to fully support VR, and the graphics are - well, to put it shortly - mundane.”
- “I have a reasonable rig for VR, for example, I can play Fallout outdoors at good quality, but the amount of reprojection and bloom in this game's graphics gave me a headache after a few minutes.”

The gameplay of CyubeVR is characterized by its immersive VR mechanics and beautiful graphics, offering a satisfying crafting and building experience reminiscent of voxel-based games like Minecraft. However, many players express a desire for more content and gameplay depth, particularly in terms of survival mechanics and challenges, as the current sandbox experience can feel limited and slow-paced. While the core mechanics are praised for their uniqueness and interactivity, the game is still in early access and requires further development to enhance its overall gameplay experience.
- “It takes the familiar voxel-based open world and elevates it with gorgeous graphics and phenomenal, hand-based VR mechanics that make every action feel meaningful.”
- “The gameplay, although simple in nature, is insanely relaxing, satisfying, and excellently tuned for VR in a way that is very rare to see.”
- “The building works well and the crafting mechanic is a lot of fun and a breath of fresh air, something I've not seen before.”
- “Until more gameplay elements or objectives are added, I can’t fully recommend it.”
- “The game is very slow-paced and focuses a lot on immersion over snappy gameplay, which can be a turn-off if you're expecting something more dynamic. There are definitely some improvements to be made, as digging with a shovel feels extremely awkward and the vacuum bucket has a disappointingly small range.”
- “The main reason I'm not refunding this game is that the developer seems to have a genuine commitment to the quality of their product and seems to be listening to the users, so I'm willing to give them a chance to add some actual gameplay to it.”

Many users note that a high-end PC is necessary for optimal performance, and despite ongoing updates aimed at improving optimization, some still experience significant performance challenges.

- “This game is remarkably well optimized.”
- “Optimizations have been given highest priority, along with fancy graphics options.”
- “The game is extremely well optimized, and is not afraid to use the resources of your computer (scales up to 32 threads!!).”
- “Better performance optimization for lower-end PC players; this game can get really laggy even on high-end systems if graphics are any more than medium.”
- “The game runs incredibly poorly; I'm on a Ryzen 9 5950X with an RTX 3090, and yet the game has garbage performance.”
- “This all being said, it has some performance issues.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its relaxing and soothing qualities, enhancing the immersive experience of the beautiful graphics and serene environments.

- “The world is beautiful, the music is tranquil, and if you enjoyed Minecraft, I can't see how this won't give you hours of enjoyment.”

- “Only has two songs that get annoying real quick.”
- “The music feels like they could have taken it right from Minecraft's soundtrack; there's actually less to do right now than in Minecraft in beta. This game has potential but it's not showing much of that potential at this point for $20.”

- “For a game with no combat or story, I literally couldn't put this down.”
- “Looking forward to more survival mechanics (hunger, thirst, temp...), mobs, etc... and hopefully some kind of story/mission would be a plus.”

The game's stability has received mixed feedback, with many players praising its performance and graphics, particularly on high-end systems, while acknowledging the presence of bugs and crashes, especially in its early access state. Some users report minor glitches that do not significantly impact gameplay, while others experience more severe issues like memory overflow and frequent crashes. Overall, while the game shows great potential, it is still considered buggy and in need of further development to enhance stability.
- “Honestly, this game is really cool and I can see it having a lot more content in the future. People that are complaining that it took 8 years to make this and it's boring don't quite understand how difficult it is to make a game. On top of it, it is hyper-realistic (like the lighting and textures) and VR, which I think is insane considering it is bug-free. They accomplished this much in 8 years as indie devs; how incredible is that?”
- “We spend a lot of time making sure that there are 0 known bugs in the game. Stability and being bug-free is the most important aspect at any time during development.”
- “No glitches or loading screens.”
- “It frequently crashes due to memory overflow, on top of several minute-long freezes occurring commonly.”
- “This game is buggy, blurry, and bright; do not play unless you want a headache.”
- “It's very buggy and crashes with the error 'fatal error' every now and then.”
