The gameplay is engaging and offers many hours of fun, with a variety of paths and challenges that encourage continued play. While the controls can occasionally be twitchy and the visuals may not fully represent the experience, the overall simplicity and enjoyment of the gameplay make it a worthwhile title. Players express a strong appreciation for the immersive nature of the VR experience, which is often underestimated in 2D representations.
“I can see many hours of gameplay with this title. I've had it on my wish list for a little while and was able to grab it on sale for their 1-year anniversary. I am not disappointed; I would have easily paid full price earlier if I had known it was really this much fun. 2D YouTube videos of most VR games never really do them too much justice because it is hard to try and picture what it is like in VR until you try it.”
“It's not perfect; controls can twitch a little now and then and drop angles sometimes in the wrong direction, although that might be something I'm doing wrong. It looks like there's little gameplay from the screenshots, but there are plenty of paths and challenges. It makes you want to keep playing, with lots of different locations and drops.”
