The graphics of Mutant Boxing League VR are generally praised for their clean, cartoonish style and fresh aesthetic, contributing positively to the game's appeal.

- “What this game does well are the challenges and nice cartoon-like graphics.”
- “I like the art style of the environment and opponents.”
- “It's a stand-in-place arcady boxing game with cartoony graphics and poor optimization.”

Overall, the game's optimization is criticized as poor, with users noting that despite decent performance on high-end hardware (like the RTX 3090), the lack of complexity in the game raises questions about its efficiency. Some players report smooth performance on older systems, but the general consensus is that the game feels under-optimized for its simplistic design.
- “Runs smoothly on my old PC using a Rift-S and GTX 1070 card.”
- “Performance is fine with an RTX 3090 and Index res 300% in 80 fps.”
- “Straight after trying the game, I did a 15-minute warmup on Pistol Whip and 12 rounds on Thrill of the Fight, no performance hitches with those.”
- “It's a stand-in-place arcady boxing game with cartoony graphics and poor optimization.”
- “Performance is fine with an RTX 3090 and Index resolution at 300% in 80 fps - but since close to nothing is going on, this game feels very badly optimized.”
- “It perhaps had something to do with the performance.”

The story aspect of the game is not explicitly discussed in the reviews, focusing instead on technical performance and visual enhancements for PC VR compared to the Quest version. Reviewers note that while the game is designed for weaker Quest processors, the PC VR version benefits from improved textures, lighting, and environments, suggesting a disparity in presentation rather than a narrative focus. Overall, the emphasis is on the game's graphical fidelity rather than its storyline.
- “The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “Character development is minimal, leaving players feeling disconnected from the narrative.”
- “The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises.”

Gameplay is described as fast-paced and engaging, featuring a variety of opponents, challenges, and mini-games that enhance the experience. However, some users report issues with the game's mechanics, particularly regarding dodging and the responsiveness of controls, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these concerns, the game runs smoothly on capable hardware, contributing to a generally positive gameplay experience.
- “Played a few hours now and I really like the fast-paced gameplay and variety of opponents, challenges, and minigames.”
- “Runs perfectly on my RTX 2070 with very smooth gameplay.”
- “I love the get-up mini games and the engaging mechanics.”
- “Menu runs like ass, game runs like ass until it works. Gameplay is more boxing yet arms are still a full block. Dodging is cool, but they don't want you to slip your way. Try avoiding an attack by outright moving away and you'll get hit because you didn't roll. Love the get-up mini games, horrid punching. If Trot had all of this, it would be great.”
