The game captures the sweet, wholesome, and relaxing atmosphere of the Yuru Camp anime, making it a delightful experience for fans.
The voice acting and character interactions are charming, providing a cozy and heartwarming experience that resonates with the series.
The visuals and sound design are high quality, creating a beautiful environment that enhances the overall relaxing vibe of the game.

The game is very short, lasting only about 30-40 minutes, which many players feel does not justify the price.
There is minimal interactivity, as players can only look around to trigger events, leading to a lack of engagement and immersion.
The VR experience is poorly designed, with no hand tracking or meaningful movement, making it feel more like a passive viewing experience than an interactive game.
