The reviews indicate a mixed experience with the story aspect of the game, primarily focusing on the functionality and performance of the software across different platforms. Users appreciate the seamless workflow on the Quest native version and the ability to transfer work between devices, but express frustration with performance issues and compatibility problems, particularly with the Steam version and controller support on the Quest 2. Overall, while the story's potential is recognized, technical limitations hinder a fully enjoyable experience.
- “Amazing workflow in quest native on computer.”
- “And it's very easy to move my work back and forth between my desktop and quest 2 if I am mobile.”
- “I like the steam version over the version on the meta quest store as the steam version does not slow down and become unresponsive if I make a large scene or have a lot of polygons.”
- “Unfortunately, I can't get it to work past the first screen on Quest 3. As soon as I try to open a new project, everything freezes and gets stuck on loading forever.”
- “Using either Steam Link or Virtual Desktop, this is absolutely unusable for me on my Quest 2.”
- “It's like the application is looking for the Quest 2 controllers and ignores the Index controllers.”
