The story aspect of the game is largely perceived as lacking, with many players noting that it functions more as a sandbox experience where players must create their own narratives. While some express a desire for a structured story mode with missions and character development, others feel that the absence of a linear storyline detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, players highlight that the Quest version offers significantly more content and mods, enhancing the gameplay compared to the PC version.
“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.”
“Through story mode, DLC, and events, a player could create a new character to fit them as superheroes or, moving on... *sinister wink*”
“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.”
“The PC version of this game has maybe a fraction of the mods that the Quest has, and because of that, it can lead to a totally different experience simply because you feel like you're missing out.”

The game's stability is frequently criticized, with players reporting numerous bugs that disrupt gameplay, such as hitbox issues, unresponsive controls, and persistent glitches affecting enemy behavior. While many find the game enjoyable and immersive, the overwhelming presence of these bugs detracts significantly from the overall experience, leading to a perception of it being unpolished and lacking in depth. Despite its fun elements, the game's stability issues are a major concern for players, especially given its early access status.
“The webs can be very buggy, especially when pulling people, since I seem to break hitboxes and web people so much that they fall through the map.”
“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.”
“Extremely buggy; some powers will just straight up refuse to work, and the enemies will just stand there and stare at you 80% of the time.”

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with many players appreciating its core mechanics despite some issues with polish and menu navigation that can cause discomfort. While the game shows potential for improvement, particularly in its sandbox elements, it currently feels janky and lacks refinement. Overall, players find the gameplay enjoyable, though they acknowledge it is still in early access and requires further development.
“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 :o).”
“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, while others appreciate its role in enhancing the overall experience. Issues with volume control and persistent playback detract from enjoyment, though some users express a desire for the soundtrack to be available separately. Overall, the music is seen as a weak point, lacking the intensity and impact expected in a more engaging gaming environment.
“I only wish that the soundtrack was available to listen to on its own, because the OST really ties the whole thing together.”
“The sounds are cool but very low; even if we put the music to the minimum, they are still low.”
“Kinda buggy NPC spawns and awkward because there is barely any music or ambience, but when you're fighting, you feel like a god.”
“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 describing them as "atrocious" or "mid." While some players find the visuals not distractingly bad and believe they will improve over time, others criticize the rendering quality and overall aesthetic, suggesting that it feels like a low-quality knockoff. Despite these graphical shortcomings, some users feel that the gameplay compensates for the visuals.
“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.”
“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.”

Players note that while mod support enhances replayability, the current mods primarily consist of basic player models, which may limit the overall variety and depth of gameplay experiences.
“I would say mod support makes the game slightly more playable, but all mods currently available for the game are simple player models that lack twist bones. However, that may be due to the models I played as rather than the modding tools themselves.”
“The lack of meaningful choices and consequences makes replaying the game feel pointless.”
“Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back and experience it again.”
