It's a free VR game that provides a unique and slightly unsettling experience.
Can be a great stress reliever and is fun for a short period, especially when showing it to friends and family.
The piñata's reactions and the variety of items to use add a humorous element to the gameplay.

The game lacks depth and quickly becomes repetitive, with no real game loop or objectives.
Many players experience bugs related to play space alignment, making it difficult to interact with the piñata and items.
Overall, it feels more like a demo or joke rather than a fully developed game, leading to disappointment among serious gamers.
