- The developers are responsive to community feedback and have shown willingness to implement requested features quickly.
- The game is currently broken and unplayable, with many features not functioning as intended, leading to a frustrating user experience.
- It feels abandoned, with a lack of updates since early 2021 and a very low player count, making it seem like a dead project.
- The game is overpriced for its current state, which resembles a tech demo rather than a fully developed product.

The game, while still in early access and lacking some features, is noted for its impressive optimization and smooth performance, particularly in full body tracking, even with lower-end hardware like Kinect. Users acknowledge the presence of bugs but appreciate the overall fluidity of the experience.
“Yes, there are bugs and some features are missing at the moment, but that's why it's early access. The performance and the inverse kinematics for full body tracking are amazing; even when using Kinect, it was very smooth and fluid.”
