The gameplay is generally described as solid and enjoyable, with fun shooting mechanics and a variety of weapons that enhance the experience. While some players find the graphics and certain mechanics simplistic or dated, the addictive nature of the gameplay and the ease of controls make it accessible, especially for new VR users. However, repetitive audio cues and a lack of advanced locomotion may detract from the overall experience for some players.
- “It's nothing to write home about graphically, but that doesn't detract from the gameplay at all, which is solid and enjoyable.”
- “The shooting mechanics are great, the game itself is great. I'm just having a little problem with audio, that's all.”
- “Hit boxes are nice and generous, and the ability to reload a weapon with just one button instead of having to manually simulate reloading - and therefore losing your line of sight - is a very welcome mechanic which keeps the focus on frantic fun, and there's a great range of weapons provided for different scenarios.”
- “So, after playing this for like 30 minutes, I dislike the game. It uses free models, if I'm correct, and the overall gameplay feels like a non-moving Pavlov.”
- “Though I hate dying, because I have to listen to his introduction to the level every time, which kind of ruins the gameplay a bit. You were just in a warzone, and then you have to listen to the guy again.”
- “The shooting mechanic felt a little dated.”
