- Many players experienced technical issues, including being unable to see other players and encountering numerous bugs during events.

The music aspect of the VR experience is praised for featuring top hard dance artists like n-vitral and crypsis, effectively immersing players in vibrant dance music gigs. However, some users feel that similar experiences can be found on platforms like YouTube, and the additional costs for extra content may deter potential buyers. Overall, the music is a highlight, but the pricing structure raises concerns.
“In short, this hard dance experience tries to put you into some of the biggest dance music gigs you have ever seen, with top dance-music artists like N-Vitral & Crypsis.”
“While you do get 4 dance-music experiences for £13.99 (I paid £9.09 because it was on sale), you then have to pay a further £9.00 to get just one more, which looks like the best one!”
“Love the music and the videos, but I could get kind of the same experience on YouTube.”
“While you do get 4 dance-music experiences for £13.99 (I paid £9.09 because it was in a sale), you then have to pay a further £9.00 odd to get just one more which looks like the best one!”
“Super surprised to find a VR product for a very niche genre of music.”

The optimization of the game has been criticized for technical issues, including poorly mapped controls for the Valve Index, empty lobbies, and significant performance drops in certain areas, leading to a frustrating experience for players.
“I had technical issues; the Valve Index controllers are barely mapped, so only teleport and mute work. Lobbies appeared empty, and certain areas of the events were an absolute performance hog.”
“The optimization is terrible; I experienced frequent frame drops and long loading times that ruined the immersion.”
“Even on high-end hardware, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, making it nearly unplayable at times.”

The atmosphere in the game is highly praised for its immersive quality across various scenes; however, some players feel that the lack of genuine interaction with characters detracts from the overall experience.
“The atmosphere was great in each scene; the only thing I missed was real interaction with people.”
