However, users note that while the Xbox controller excels during gameplay, it is poorly implemented for menu navigation, which can detract from the overall experience.

- “The graphics are basic; it's clear what style they're aiming for, but I hope the finished product will be more polished. The flashing double vision that occurs sometimes is horrendous in VR and really needs to be toned down.”
