The game offers a deeply immersive and engaging survival experience, especially in VR, with satisfying building mechanics and a unique sanity system that adds tension.
It features enjoyable co-op gameplay, making it a great choice for playing with friends, and the crafting and resource management systems are well-balanced.
The physics interactions, such as chopping trees and throwing logs, enhance the immersive experience, and the game has a charming art style that complements its survival mechanics.

The game suffers from numerous bugs and janky physics, including issues with items clipping through the floor and tools flying out of the player's hands, which can disrupt gameplay.
Quality of life improvements are needed, such as a proper pause menu, the ability to speed up time, and better inventory management, as the current systems can be frustrating.
The sanity mechanic can feel overly punishing, and the game lacks sufficient content and variety in enemies, leading to repetitive gameplay and a grindy experience.

The gameplay of this VR survival game is generally well-received, praised for its immersive mechanics, satisfying building options, and engaging exploration. However, it faces criticism for lacking polish, particularly in its physics and menu design, as well as for some frustrating mechanics like the sanity system, which some players find more annoying than enriching. Overall, while the core gameplay is solid and offers depth, it still feels like it needs refinement before reaching its full potential.
- “Gameplay is surprisingly good and the exploration is fine.”
- “It's a very atmospheric and easy to understand VR game with good mechanics like your inventory being a backpack or the log chopping allowing for immersive gameplay!”
- “This is a true VR gem, whose mechanics are surprisingly deep and refreshingly fun.”
- “Despite being very intrigued by the demo version shown at Steam Next, I am quite dissatisfied with the overall gameplay.”
- “There are multiple core game mechanics that the game fails to explain, with no notes, hints, or any other notice.”
- “Frost Survival VR has some decent survival mechanics, but it’s held back by frustrating design choices that make the experience more tedious than enjoyable.”

- “I appreciate how stable the game is; I've had no issues with lag or performance drops.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to repetitive tasks like relocating and resource management, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the gameplay is generally fun and the graphics charming, certain design choices, such as the need for specific resources like flint for crafting, contribute to a frustrating experience that feels more like a timesink than engaging gameplay.
- “By the third or fourth time you need to relocate, it can be really tedious. We've found we stopped bothering to make big cool cabins with storage and started making minimal 1-2 crates with a stove and dumping our hoarder piles on the floor.”
- “Which would be fine if there was more to it, but it really just gets tedious quickly.”
- “Needing flint to make string somehow serves to make the game needlessly tedious in a way that adds nothing but a time sink.”
