The story mode of the game is described as "okay" by players, with some enjoying its interactivity and the variety of trucks introduced in each mission. However, there are significant stability issues when launching the story or free-play modes, which detracts from the overall experience. Players also note that failing missions can lead to frustrating restarts or the need to switch vehicles.
- “I'm glad this is no longer a Quest exclusive!”
- “I like how interactive the game is, and that you get a new truck almost every mission that has different sets of controls.”
- “When I load this up, I get to the menu without any issues, but the second I launch story or free-play, the game takes me to the loading menu and becomes wildly unstable.”
- “Well, there's a story mode, and as of the time of me writing this review, I have completed half of it; it's okay.”
- “I did not like this on Quest, and it seems to be different than the Quest version.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews; while some players note significant improvements and good visuals, others report performance issues, particularly in VR, leading to discomfort. Despite solid performance metrics on certain hardware, there are still concerns about visual smoothness and the need for further updates to enhance GPU demand.
- “It also optimized insanely well, and looks pretty good.”
- “Performance according to the VD overlay is rock solid (as you would expect from a 3060 Ti on medium settings), however, visually it is far from smooth, especially when using smooth locomotion; I suspect this may be an issue with the game itself.”
- “First major issue that needs solving is performance; I've been playing VR games for 800+ hours and this is the first in a great while that has made me feel a bit queasy.”
- “Performance according to the VD overlay is rock solid (as you would expect from a 3060 Ti on medium settings); however, visually it is far from smooth, especially when using smooth locomotion. I suspect this may be an issue with the game itself.”
- “After a few updates, the GPU demand should go down after more optimizations.”

- “The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the content.”
- “I found the grinding mechanics to be overly tedious, often feeling like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game.”
