The game's replayability is praised for its variety of maps and game modes, along with the option to download custom maps, which keeps the experience fresh and engaging. However, some users feel that after initial play, the game lacks sufficient variety to justify its price, suggesting that more content or a shared purchase model could enhance enjoyment. Overall, while it offers strong replayability for some, others find it limited after extended play.
- “Games is kinda good but is nowhere near worth $25. I get that the devs need the money to update the game, but it has little replayability after playing for a bit, as it's the same thing over and over. It's fun, but needs more variety in order to be worth the $25 price tag. Maybe make it so one person buys it and everyone gets to play to make it more enjoyable.”
- “Even if it's just in early access, this is the single best VR game for me in terms of engagement and replayability.”
- “The variety of maps and game modes ensures there's always something new to try, and the ability to download custom maps adds even more replayability.”
