The graphics in the game are a mixed bag, featuring charming character designs reminiscent of old-school raytracing, but the environments can become repetitive and bland due to their simplistic, tiled textures. While the game runs smoothly and offers various graphical settings, some players noted the overall aesthetic feels dated, yet it doesn't detract from the enjoyable gameplay experience. Overall, the visuals are adequate for the game's style, with some standout details in character design.
- “The character graphics are quite nice in an 'old-school' ray tracing sort of way, with plasticine-type models for the characters and shiny textures.”
- “The actual graphics are perfect for the game and the detail on the little guy is very cool (a little too detailed if you switch his skin for fur...oh did I not mention? You can unlock new skins and accessories for him as you progress :) )”
- “That said, this game was developed entirely by a single person over the course of several years, and the graphical quality does not itself deter one from enjoying the game.”
- “The level graphics look less sophisticated, with each stage made out of repeated tiles of various sorts, with relatively simple textures and effects.”
- “The immediate thing several people picked up on while I was streaming this is the relatively aged-looking graphics.”
- “There's a collection of graphics detail settings, together with full-screen/windowed mode toggle and resolution setting, but no vsync!”

The game's music is praised for its diverse electronic styles, featuring catchy tracks reminiscent of 1980s synthesizer tunes and modern progressive house. While the soundtrack effectively sets a fun, game show-like tone, some players note that it can become repetitive over time. Overall, the music enhances the gaming experience, contributing to its engaging atmosphere.
- “The music suits the game well, though it can get a bit repetitive after a while.”
- “The title track and some of the in-game music remind me very much of a 1980s synthesizer tune, while the next track I heard sounded like a modern progressive house tune.”
- “The voice acting, music, and style set the tone of a TV show, and it works very well.”
humor

The humor in the game primarily stems from the entertaining monologues of Doctor Kvorak, whose thick German accent adds a comedic touch, though it can sometimes obscure the dialogue's wit. Players find the interactions with their aliens amusing, as they exhibit cute behaviors, and the overall game features funny characters and a lighthearted, game show-style atmosphere. While the humor is generally well-received, the heavy accents may make some of the dialogue harder to follow.
- “This is mostly monologues from Doctor Kvorak, who sounds professionally acted, albeit with a hilarious accent.”
- “He also has a thick German accent, which made me laugh the first time I heard him.”
- “Very fun game, with very funny characters, and entertaining, with puzzles that will make you think a lot and challenge your intelligence to win.”

The gameplay of Doctor Kvorak is a physics-based 3D puzzle platformer that offers a fun and engaging experience, especially when players adapt to its mechanics. While many enjoy the challenge of solving puzzles and the tight controls, some users find the gameplay frustrating due to difficult controls and inconsistent physics. Overall, the experience can vary significantly based on individual preferences and adaptability to the game's expectations.
- “The gameplay is really fun whichever way you play it, VR or not.”
- “Looking beyond graphics, the gameplay is surprisingly tight. You will curse at yourself for the occasional blip where you struggle to jump or fall off of something without hurting yourself, but when you get an idea of what is and isn't allowed, you'll begin to think in the way the game expects you to, and you'll quickly get into puzzle-solving mode.”
- “The gameplay was not fun for me.”
- “Difficult controls, sometimes charming, often annoying, with physics that don’t support gameplay.”
- “Looking beyond graphics, the gameplay is surprisingly tight, but you will curse at yourself for the occasional blip where you struggle to jump or fall off of something without hurting yourself.”

The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while it performs adequately in its current state, users recommend lowering some settings, particularly fur effects, for better performance, especially on less powerful PCs. It's important to note that the reviews are based on an unreleased version, suggesting that performance may improve in the final build. Overall, performance issues are present but do not significantly detract from the gameplay experience.
- “Make sure to turn some of the settings down, and avoid using the fur unless you have a really good PC. However, it should be noted that I was playing an unreleased version (which was also being recorded in HD) and as such, the performance will improve. It also, when configured, had fewer problems than some of the longer released games I played. At no point did I really feel the performance issues were affecting the game too much to play.”

- “Performance on high detail (or fur) is not the greatest; again, note though this is from an unreleased build.”

- “If you're going to play the game in VR, what I really enjoy is the spacious atmosphere when you look around.”
- “To add to the arena atmosphere, when the host, Doctor Kvorak, appears, he also shows up on a big screen complete with subtitles, as does Eggloot the bird.”
- “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the immersive qualities that make a game truly engaging.”
- “Despite the potential for a rich environment, the overall ambiance is dull and fails to evoke any real emotion.”
