The game features a compelling story mode set in a vast, open-world environment filled with diverse planetoids and engaging quests. Players can choose their own path through the narrative, which combines exploration with a mix of combat and dialogue, although some reviewers noted a lack of quest variety and polish in controls. Overall, it presents a promising blend of sandbox elements and story-driven gameplay, making it a noteworthy addition to the VR genre.
“This is definitely a game to keep an eye on as it plays really well, has a good story mode and has some funny hidden secrets.”
“Not to spoil the story too much, but there's an enormous adventure awaiting you...visit planetoids of desert, ice or woodlands...battle ancient creatures and high-tech foes...fight in close quarters or roam vast spaces...vehicles and ships at your disposal...get deep into absorbing dialogues or keep your distance with the help of your trusty cybersword (yes, there are ranged weapons of course) - these open worlds...this solar system...full of multiple opportunities; but one big journey.”
“I personally feel that this game is exactly what VR needs right now though, a large-scale game that provides exploration and story.”
“There is a main story to follow, but basically at one point it opens up to a 'you choose what and where to go' sandbox.”
“You expect from such a game a lot of cross quests, as you can fly to any planet in free order, but almost all (of the very few) available quests are in just one direction.”
“I personally feel that this game is exactly what VR needs right now though, a large scale game that provides exploration and story, not j.a.w.s.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered dated, reminiscent of 90s sci-fi aesthetics, and range from N64 to GameCube quality.

Overall, the graphics evoke a campy charm that some players appreciate, despite their limitations.
“As it is now, the game is great, with excellent visuals and awesome atmosphere!”
“I kind of hope the developers don't ever change them, because they fit the campy 90s sci-fi graphics.”
“Looking at screenshots and such from the monitor, the graphics are ok.”
“Dated visuals.”
“Drifts between N64 and GameCube levels of graphics.”
“The graphics are decent but it is a Unity game, which is not my favorite type.”

While the game currently experiences some performance issues due to the demanding nature of VR and its engine, ongoing efforts are being made to improve optimization. Despite these challenges, players report that the game runs smoothly and offers impressive visual clarity, particularly with maximum anti-aliasing settings.
“Maybe for the new SteamVR beta feature for asynchronous frames, or perhaps due to optimizations, but the game looks very smooth right now and with the maximum anti-aliasing, even extremely sharp in distant objects. It's one of the least aliased games for Vive I've ever tried.”
“Due to the engine itself and the fact that VR is very demanding, you may have some performance issues in places, but that aspect is being worked on.”
“The game, as I write this, needs further optimization.”
