The gameplay is described as basic, particularly in the archery mechanics, which, while not poor, are overshadowed by superior offerings in other VR titles. Despite the enjoyable experience, players feel there is little incentive for replayability.
“The archery isn't bad per se; there are just other VR games with much better archery gameplay, including 'In Death' or 'Sacralith'.”
“I did enjoy the game, but there is no reason for subsequent gameplay.”
“The graphics here do look good if it were an open world RPG or something, but the gameplay here is pretty basic.”

The game's optimization has improved significantly with recent updates, enhancing overall performance, but users still report issues with clarity on certain headsets like the Index, especially at high resolutions. While the visuals are stunning, the game remains demanding on hardware, suggesting that further optimization is needed for smoother gameplay, particularly for high-end setups. Players recommend using older VR headsets for a better experience until more optimizations are implemented.
“With the recent update, the performance has gotten so much better!”
“The trailer shows the content quite nicely - it's one of the most beautiful VR games I've seen, but until the RTX 5090 is here, or the developers optimize the game (this is early access), I recommend getting the Rift CV1 or original Vive (Pro).”
“Using LCD HMDs like the Index, this game will be very blurry - it supports DLSS, and starts to look nice (non-blurry) using Index resolution 400-500%, but then performance tanks using my overclocked RTX 3090.”
“I got this game a while ago and at that time the performance was pretty bad.”
