The gameplay is characterized by a mix of enjoyable gun mechanics and customization options, but it suffers from repetitiveness and inconsistent controls. While some players appreciate the realistic feel and immersive shooting experience, others find the mechanics mediocre and the overall experience lacking depth, often comparing it unfavorably to other VR shooters.

- “Fun arcade shooter with guns that feel very nice to customize and fire, with challenging but relaxing gameplay that I can tune to my own liking through choosing guns and customization.”
- “The gun handling and mechanics in H3VR are a lot more enjoyable, and the controls feel a lot less 'sticky'.”
- “At launch, it was decent for testing out realistic gun mechanics, but without ongoing support, it now feels more like a tech demo than a finished product.”
- “The wild west DLC honestly needs to be pulled and reworked; it's not fun to play, the reloading mechanics make me want to hit my head against a wall.”
- “It hides the fact that the gameplay gets old after 30 minutes, looks and feels like a mobile game, and just plays like doo doo.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that it feels more like a series of shooting missions rather than a cohesive narrative experience. While there are varied mission types and challenges, the absence of a compelling storyline or meaningful enemy interactions detracts from the overall experience, making it feel basic and repetitive. Players seeking a rich narrative should look elsewhere, as the game primarily focuses on gunplay and mission progression rather than storytelling.
- “The later missions of a series set me into a zen-like state as my breathing calms, and I scan the area for targets, hostages, and the most efficient path to shoot among them.”
- “Would be nice if it included a bit more of a story or the option to shoot actual enemies as opposed to cardboard targets (painted like enemies), but I would still recommend it as a solid gun simulator.”
- “It has enemies and waves and missions, but not as interesting as Zomday does.”
- “If you want a story, stay away.”
- “The payout for getting 4 stars (the max rank in a mission) is low, the gunplay is bad, and the sound design is mediocre at best.”
- “Can't play the game because when I start the first mission I can't get my gun from my holster; it just pulls back the pistol.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly when it comes to unlocking weapons and upgrades, which requires significant in-game currency that is earned slowly.

- “Earning cash is super grindy; the special weapons cost upwards of $100,000 and you only ever earn around $500-2,000 a level.”
