The gameplay of Lumberjack VR has been criticized for being a low-quality imitation of Fruit Ninja, featuring poor graphics and frustrating mechanics that make it difficult to master. Players find the repetitive nature of slicing objects and the high point targets frustrating, with the axe often going out of reach, leading to an overall lack of enjoyment. While the inclusion of varied elements like chickens and bombs adds some diversity, the core gameplay remains unsatisfactory, earning a mixed rating of 5/10.
- “With chickens to catch and BBQ, bombs, and bird eggs thrown into the mix, this adds variety to the gameplay.”
- “Rate 5/10, would rate possibly higher with added content, improved gameplay.”
- “If at the very least the log chopping, the major gameplay point here, would be fixed, this title might actually be enjoyable.”
- “Lumberjack VR is a low poly 3D VR exclusive ripoff of Fruit Ninja from the mobile app stores, but with worse graphics, less depth, and worse gameplay.”
- “The hitting mechanics are, no pun intended, hit or miss.”
- “The point targets are insanely high, and unless you already know what you're doing, you're going to end your gameplay early in frustration.”
