  • It's a charming experience that allows players to enjoy the laid-back camping vibe, making it a delightful treat for fans despite its short length.
  • The game is very short, lasting only about 30-40 minutes, which many players feel does not justify the price.

  • The graphics and overall design are considered lackluster, with some reviewers comparing it to a basic flash game or a poorly optimized VR experience.
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as cute and relaxing, but generally short and lacking in depth, with minimal interactions and underwhelming VR performance. Many users feel that the experience does not justify its price, expressing a desire for more immersive and engaging content. Overall, while enjoyable, the gameplay leaves players wanting more.

    • “Relaxing gameplay and soundtracks.”
    • “I even like the small bit of the naderin moment at the end of it, though I wish there was more to the gameplay and interactivity to make us feel more immersed in the campsite.”
    • “Expensive, not very worth compared to the gameplay.”
    • “Short gameplay with few interactions.”
    • “With less than an hour of gameplay content and underwhelming VR performance...”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is described as heartwarming and reminiscent of a typical "Yuru Camp" episode, featuring charming interactions that enhance the player's affection for the characters. However, the gameplay is somewhat limited by the confined environments, which restrict exploration. Overall, the narrative is engaging but may benefit from a more detailed setting and broader exploration opportunities.

    • “This game is cute; in the game, you look around at different stuff to advance the story.”
    • “The graphics are pretty nice; it might need a little more detail to the environment and further exploration of the whole Koan campground area instead of being stuck in two places, but I guess that's how most VR storytelling games work.”
    • “The story is pretty much what you'd expect from a Yuru Camp episode, pure comfy and heartwarming cuteness that makes me love the two girls even more.”
    • “This game is cute, but you look around at different stuff to advance the story, which feels a bit shallow.”
    • “The graphics are pretty nice; it might need a little more detail to the environment and further exploration of the whole Koan campground area instead of being stuck in two places.”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game, particularly in the main menu and select areas, is praised for its high quality and relaxing vibe, reminiscent of Akiyuki Tateyama's work. However, many players express disappointment over the lack of music during gameplay, suggesting that additional ambient tracks would enhance the overall experience. There is also a desire for a downloadable soundtrack to enjoy outside the game.

    • “Everything from the character models, the environment, the UI, the music, and the voice acting feels very high quality.”
    • “Relaxing gameplay and soundtracks.”
    • “The music in the main menu and some other parts are really good and Yuru Camp-y (as expected of Akiyuki Tateyama); too bad no music was playing during the main game (I had to play 'Solo Camp Recommendation' and the Lake Motosu theme to make the experience perfect).”
    • “The interactions are limited and the game could use some chilling music during downtime if you just want to stay in a scene.”
    • “Only thing I wish they would add is a soundtrack to download!”
  • emotional
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by its heartwarming and wholesome interactions between the characters, particularly Nadeshiko and Rin, which evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia reminiscent of the Yuru Camp anime.

  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally considered nice but lack detail in the environment, particularly in the koan campground area, which feels limited in exploration. Some animations, such as distant birds and surfers, are poorly executed, resembling low-quality pixel graphics. Overall, while the visuals are acceptable, they do not stand out as groundbreaking.

    • “The graphics are pretty nice; it might need a little more detail to the environment and further exploration of the whole koan campground area instead of being stuck in two places, but I guess that's how most VR storytelling games work.”
    • “The graphics are okay but it's nothing groundbreaking.”
    • “There are some very badly animated birds and people on surfboards in the distance that look like pixel graphics with 4 frames of animation.”
    • “The graphics are okay, but it's nothing groundbreaking.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is generally described as relaxing and enjoyable, particularly enhancing during the noon, evening, and night. However, some users feel that it lacks depth and feels somewhat cheap in the morning.

    • “The atmosphere is relaxing and fun!”
    • “The atmosphere in the scenario greatly improves during the noon/evening and night, but it feels a bit cheap during the morning.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to underwhelming VR performance and a lack of content, making it feel overpriced for the experience offered. Despite some personal bias from fans, many users find the optimization shortcomings hard to overlook.

    • “Not really worth the price with how poorly optimized the game is, but I love Shima Rin, so I am biased.”
    • “With less than an hour of gameplay content and underwhelming VR performance...”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have reported significant stability issues in the career mode, highlighting frequent glitches that detract from the overall experience, such as character appearance inconsistencies. While some appreciate the new features, the persistent bugs suggest a lack of attention to this mode.

    • “FUT this year is great in my opinion, but career mode is absolute garbage. They added new features to show they care for a mode that does not generate revenue, but the glitches tell a different story. One day you see your manager with a good haircut and a cool suit, and the next day he appears bald and wearing a kit.”
