The gameplay is highly praised for its engaging mechanics, rewarding crafting system, and immersive open-world exploration, making it a standout VR experience. Players appreciate the realistic inventory management and the balance of challenge with ample opportunities for skill grinding and exploration. However, some users find the lack of clear direction and initial complexity of mechanics to be a bit overwhelming.
“I'm having a lot of fun in this game. I can see the passion in the creation of this; all the elements of this game come together really well, and the mechanics are well thought out for this RPG.”
“There are lots of in-depth mechanics, crafting feels rewarding (from weapons to spells), lots of ways of moving from one place to another, lots to explore, cool artifacts and enemies. I recommend taking a look at indievr's tutorial videos to get an idea of most of the present mechanics.”
“I love this game! It's got all of the aspects I love for a VR game. You can grind up skills, run through beautiful mountains, and enjoy amazing-looking trees and water. The moon is gorgeous, and the clouds during sunset and sunrise are stunning. The mechanics are great; I'm still getting used to the belly as the main storage, but it works and is actually more realistic that way.”
“Here are a few things that annoyed me during gameplay:”
“I admit I haven't played much at the moment, but I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out all the game mechanics.”
“There's no direction in the game as well, unless I missed something in my 10 minutes of gameplay before writing this.”

The story aspect of the game is engaging and immersive, with players enjoying the exploration of quests and unique locations on the island. While some users express a desire for better quest tracking and guidance, the overall narrative experience is praised for its depth and the continuous content that keeps players invested for long periods. The game is described as a beautiful and entertaining journey, despite minor shortcomings.
“So far I've had a lot of fun exploring the island to find what quests and unique places there are.”
“The map is well made and the quests are fun.”
“This game is pretty damn close to perfect in every aspect that you desire. It truly is amazing.”
“Is there a way to see all of your active quests without having to go back to the adventurer association building to look them up?”
“How do you select an active quest to get a highlighted marker for it?”
“For some reason, my quest marker didn't show up until I restarted the game, but I will nitpick this due to the lack of guidance.”
