The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of a structured narrative, as it primarily functions as a sandbox where players must create their own stories. Many users express a desire for a linear story mode with missions and unlockable content to enhance engagement, while others note that the experience varies significantly between the Quest and PC versions due to the availability of mods. Overall, players feel that the absence of a cohesive storyline detracts from the potential enjoyment of the game.
- “Seems like it would be a cool game if it had a linear story mode and refinements.”
- “Add a story mode along with side missions, to further engage the player with enemies, crimes, and super villains.”
- “In fact, it's not really a game at all; it's a poorly made sandbox app with no real missions, nothing to unlock, and nothing to really do in the basic looking cities.”
- “Add a story mode along with side missions to further engage the player with enemies, crimes, and super villains.”
- “It is a sandbox, so you will have to build the story in your head, but fighting ninjas or robots has never been more satisfying.”

The game is plagued by numerous bugs and glitches that significantly impact gameplay, including issues with hitboxes, unresponsive controls, and persistent enemy behavior problems. While players find the core mechanics enjoyable and immersive, the overall stability is lacking, leading to a frustrating experience that detracts from the fun. Many reviewers note that the game feels unpolished and incomplete, reflecting its early access status.
- “Fun spiderman game but the bugs are just too much. Let me list some of them: game-breaking bug that lags SteamVR when sometimes loading into a map; the only fix is restarting SteamVR. When you web enemies and they die, when a new round starts, the same enemy is still webbed. Can't turn using the joystick sometimes if you use the dive button. Enemies lose momentum when you punch them. Settings won't save; can't do anything. Overall 6/10, so fun but so buggy.”
- “I know this game is still in early access, and whenever I play the game I do enjoy it for a while, but the game is lacking so many pieces. It's often buggy, nothing really feels proper, and the game's fighting aspect is just not very thought through, which is a massive part of the game. In fact, it really is the point of the game.”
- “Buggy, unpolished, and barebones. I'd say it's fun, but with how every power is such an annoyance to use and the constant immersion-ruining (almost Goat Simulator-esque, if you can believe it) glitches running rampant, it's just not worth the $20 buy-in.”

The gameplay is generally regarded as enjoyable and fun, with a solid core experience that shows potential, especially for an early access sandbox. However, many users note a lack of polish and jankiness, particularly with the menu system, which has caused some motion sickness. Overall, while the gameplay is a highlight, it still requires improvements to reach its full potential.
- “It's a fun game but it is lacking polish; the core gameplay is a lot of fun.”
- “Awesome game and mechanics, waiting for the mod support (and maybe multiplayer).”
- “All in all, the gameplay was good, if not surpassing my experience with the demo.”
- “I don't get motion sickness often in VR games, but the menus in this game gave me motion sickness. Not even the horrid gameplay, but the menus themselves did. I am severely disappointed with this game as lots of people have recommended it to me numerous times, describing it as a good quality game when in reality, it is not.”
- “Without investigating the patch notes of the updates since I last played, it's still janky and there's no difference in the feel of the gameplay.”
- “I think this has potential to be a great sandbox, but right now it is lacking in all areas of gameplay.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it generic and not immersive, often likening it to a "generic action movie" soundtrack. Many users report issues with the music volume controls, stating that the music continues to play even when turned off, which detracts from the experience. However, there are also positive remarks about the original soundtrack, with some wishing it could be enjoyed separately, as it enhances the overall atmosphere during gameplay.
- “I only wish that the soundtrack was available to listen to on its own, because the OST really ties the whole thing together.”
- “Kinda buggy NPC spawns and awkward because there is barely any music or ambience, but when you're fighting you feel like a god.”
- “The sounds are cool but very low, too low, and even if we put the music to the minimum, they are still low.”
- “This music does not turn off!”
- “I can turn the music volume to literally 0 and still hear it.”
- “I stop the music from playing and that works until anything else is done in the game and it turns itself back on.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users comparing them unfavorably to mobile games and noting issues with rendering quality. While some find the graphics acceptable and believe they will improve over time, others criticize them as subpar and distracting, particularly in conjunction with gameplay mechanics. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the graphics are not the game's strong point, they do not completely detract from the overall experience.
- “The graphics are good and will improve over time, I can bet because the single dev is listening to the players!”
- “Surprisingly fun, the graphics aren't great but it's not distractingly bad and gameplay makes up for it.”
- “Character customization should have lots and lots of options, with certain styles based on archetypes, eras in comics, hero/villain systems, references, aesthetics, and of course from workshop addons.”
- “This game's graphics (and atrocious rendering) are on par with mobile games.”
- “Yes, I understand that this game is made to run on Quest as well, but that doesn't mean they can't make the PC graphics (or rendering) even slightly better.”
- “The movement feels slippery and imprecise, the powers are boring and uninspired, the graphics really need work and the game has hardly any content.”
