The story of the game is praised for its unique theme and engaging plot, particularly in the campaign mode, which features interesting twists and high-quality voice acting. However, players note that the limited number of missions (around eight) and frustrating mission mechanics, such as poor directions and unskippable intro videos, detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game shows promise for future updates and additional content.
“I applaud the developers on the theme and story of the game; there's nothing quite like it.”
“The mob storyline and twist is pretty cool.”
“A very fun game with an interesting story and very good voice acting.”
“Rather than a simulator, it feels more like a game with a story to it.”
“The directions are downright bad on the bombing mission.”
“Also, you can't skip the intro videos, so you can be 2 seconds from a fully complete mission 500 times and you will have to watch the mission videos 500 times... the timelines get really aggressive really fast, and I think this should be adjusted.”

Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while many players praise the impressive visuals and immersive experience, some note limitations due to headset resolution and graphics settings. The game, built on Unreal Engine, is commended for its performance even on budget systems, though a few users feel the graphics are basic compared to other titles.
“From the immersion to the graphics, it is superb.”
“The graphics are amazing for a pre-release VR game.”
“Incredible graphics and details that squeeze every ounce of VR power out of the Rift, Rift S, or Quest.”
“The only downside to this game is the graphics; however, I believe this is due to the limited resolution of my headset and the graphics settings being set to medium.”
“I can't max out the graphics.”
