The reviews indicate that the game lacks a coherent story, with many users expressing frustration over the abandonment of the Steam version in favor of the Oculus Quest version, which receives more frequent updates and features. While the gameplay is praised for its artistic potential, the absence of narrative elements and consistent support across platforms detracts from the overall experience. Players recommend the Quest version for a better experience, highlighting the disparity in content and functionality between the two versions.
- “Moral of the story, it is a really good game when it works, so if you are willing to work with it, it is worth it.”
- “Superb work, I am tempted to criticize it for attempting to convey the hip-hop vibe which looks lighthearted but clearly comes from a place that is sophisticated and substantial.”
- “Great game.. would love to see them push some updates they made to the quest version to other platforms too.”
- “This game is so good but also really bad at the same time because if you're expecting updates and do not have a Quest, then you won't be getting updates. I have a Rift S and since I bought this game back in the summer, there have been no updates, meaning there are still quite a few bugs in the game.”
- “The developers just seem to care about the Oculus Quest version compared to this one.”
- “No interaction with the outer world or story or anything.”

The music in the game is a mixed bag, with players appreciating the ability to use their own music and the inclusion of internet radio stations, though some have criticized the presence of ads and bugs in the radio feature.

Overall, the music enhances the gaming experience, but improvements in customization and ad-free options are highly requested.
- “The music and ambience is so perfectly done, you can kill hours and hours just spraying away.”
- “The soundtrack is awesome and it also features radio streaming, not only did they include hip hop stations, but real metal stations (that I prefer) and I don't mean rock, I mean metal!”
- “It's great to just be in the zone with the in-game music and from time to time join a public game and vibe with someone else.”
- “Menu music can't be disabled or turned down; that already made me hate the game.”
- “The music box in-game plays real-life ads, and this is for a game I paid money for; absolutely unacceptable.”
- “Just looping commercials and silence where music should have been.”

- “I could go on forever about how both versions have unique bugs and downsides but they are all pretty minor (so far anyway lol) such as artwork you make in the Steam version being mirrored when saved.”
