The gameplay primarily revolves around a cover-based shooting mechanic, where players must strategically hide and shoot at enemies. It features both normal and hardcore modes, with the latter offering a more challenging experience due to limited ammo and increased difficulty. Players have noted the need for precision aiming, although some have experienced issues with motion controller tracking affecting their performance.
- “The gameplay is pretty much just a loop of hiding behind cover and poking out to shoot enemies behind cover. There is a normal and hardcore mode, but both modes are quite challenging. In hardcore, you only get a limited amount of ammo and can only take a single bullet.”
- “Gameplay: it's a Time Crisis type game.”
- “The gameplay is pretty much just a loop of hiding behind cover and poking out to shoot enemies behind cover. There is a normal and hardcore mode, but both modes are quite challenging. On hardcore, you only get a limited amount of ammo and can only take a single bullet.”
- “You have to be super accurate to get past the levels. Please note: I find that on WMR, motion controller tracking isn't the best, so that can affect gameplay as you need precision aiming.”
- “So while this game does have a realistic feel, the guns don't match the gameplay.”

The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking, with players expecting a more narrative-driven experience featuring tactical missions and challenges. Instead, the gameplay focuses on mechanics rather than a cohesive storyline, leading to confusion about basic functions like reloading weapons.
- “The story takes unexpected turns that keep you engaged and invested in the characters.”
- “I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the narrative and how it intertwined with the gameplay.”
- “The character development is rich, making each mission feel meaningful and impactful.”
- “Story, as far as I can tell, there is no story.”
- “I was expecting to go through levels and complete full tactical missions and challenges, but that's not what it is.”
- “I don't have a free hand to reload, as in earlier missions equipped with a single handgun.”

The graphics are generally praised for their good texture and model quality, with clean and sharp visuals, especially on the Rift S. However, some users note that lighting and shadow effects could be improved, and the overall experience does not match the quality of Crisis VRGade 2, particularly in terms of weapon interactions.
- “The graphics are pretty good; textures and model quality are good, but lighting and shadows could be improved.”
- “Graphically, it's very nice and clean, plus sharp in the Rift S.”
- “Nice visuals and really good spatial audio.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by amusing NPC death sounds and entertaining ragdoll physics, which, while not realistic, contribute to the overall comedic experience.
- “The ragdoll physics were hilarious, but not realistic.”
- “Other sounds are decent, and sometimes when the NPCs die, they make some funny death sounds.”
