graphics5 positive mentions
stability5 negative mentions
  • Innovative integration of AI with interactive NPCs and generative AI art creates a unique social VR experience.
  • Active and responsive development team that frequently updates the game and engages with the community.
  • Offers MMO-style progression with multiple classes, skill trees, PvP and PvE gameplay, fostering a sense of achievement and variety.
  • Severely low player population leading to nearly empty worlds and lack of meaningful multiplayer interaction.
  • Technical issues including poor optimization, janky controls, lack of tutorials, and inconsistent avatar scaling hinder gameplay and immersion.
  • Overreliance on AI-generated content perceived as low quality and repetitive, alongside underdeveloped combat and missing key VR features.

  • story

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The game's story is driven primarily by AI NPCs offering quests and missions, blending RPG elements like leveling, professions, and exploration within an open-world VR MMORPG framework. While still in early access with a small community, it shows strong potential to grow and evolve, especially with upcoming expansions and custom content support. However, some users note limited player interaction currently and technical roughness, but appreciate the variety of activities and narrative engagement available.

    • “This game is truly an open world VR MMORPG with progression, quests, missions, professions, exploration portals, hangouts, PvP lobbies, and dungeons.”
    • “Don't be afraid to push stuff, talk to people, talk to the AI, ask for missions!”
    • “There is massive potential; yes the community is currently small, but it's only in closed beta on Quest and slowly growing as people discover this. This is 100% the future of social VR and I guarantee this thing will blow up.”
    • “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
    • “Went back to get further insight into the first quest of killing 10 zombies.”
    • “Its a game that dev need some work my main issue is when i get on i cant find anyone but i like how the bots u can talk to like a normal person its crazy oh and it def need a mode so u can switch it to windowed mode cause for some reason on quest when u play a game in fullscreen while in vr it flickers.”

    The game's graphics feature crisp visuals with beautiful, varied worlds and an engaging art style supported by Unreal Engine 5, offering a generally pleasant aesthetic. However, they suffer from occasional rough edges, graphical glitches, lack of cohesive style due to mixed assets, and limited or absent graphical settings, which can impact performance and user experience. Overall, the visual appeal is mixed, balancing moments of beauty with technical and stylistic shortcomings.

    • “The graphics are crisp with some beautiful worlds, the skill trees are nice, I love the avatars available and it being open to community-created content is great.”
    • “The game is built on Unreal Engine 5, which is an awesome choice in my opinion as the graphics are much better than Unity and the multiplayer features are much smoother from lots of games that I have personally played.”
    • “Cool overworld, nice graphics and really slick integration of AI to make portraits and art and talk to bots.”
    • “From the very start, it’s evident that the game operates on a low budget, with unpolished visuals and numerous technical issues that detract from the overall experience.”
    • “Huh what a game, it has moments of coolness but at the same time all of its assets are from the Unity asset store so it has no cohesive style and looks terrible graphically most of the time.”
    • “Nothing works, none of the worlds you download can be traveled to, none of the arcade machines work, there is nobody around to talk to, talking to the AI is useless because the only thing they ever hear is the word 'you', and to top it all off it runs at 10 fps and has no graphics options.”

  • gameplay

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The gameplay has a solid foundation with enjoyable core mechanics and regular content updates, but is often criticized for confusing, grind-heavy systems and a lack of modern VR features expected in a VR MMORPG. While some players appreciate the unique game modes and evolving polish, others find the mechanics poorly executed, under-optimized, and hindered by bugs. Overall, the gameplay offers potential but requires time and patience to fully grasp and enjoy.

    • “- New classes and bosses (with loot) are added regularly and keep gameplay fresh.”
    • “The core gameplay mechanics have a solid base and are enjoyable, but can take some time to get used to as there are some additional mechanics not found in traditional MMOs.”
    • “The gameplay is awesome; the sword tournys and random fight club matches are a blast, but you will have to grind a lot just like any other MMORPG.”
    • “Interesting idea but poorly executed: the lack of optimization, the reliance on AI, and the overly grindy mechanics with little to no explanation.”
    • “For a game that advertises itself as "the future of social VR experiences" and calls itself a "VR-MMO", it's missing every modern VR mechanic and offers very few mechanics that would make it an MMORPG.”
    • “The game modes, although varied, are generic and suffer from significant bugs that hinder gameplay.”

  • optimization

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is generally poor, with notable performance drops, crashes, and a lack of customization or performance options to improve smoothness. Additionally, the absence of tutorials and underdeveloped tools contribute to a frustrating experience, particularly for new players and those seeking better control and performance adjustments.

    • “I’ve experienced performance drops when it comes to particle effects while up close and a couple of crashes that interrupted gameplay, but the vast majority of my playtime has been solid.”
    • “The tools for optimizing social VR games like VRChat are less developed, which seems to contribute to the performance issues "Riff XR" faces.”
    • “There are essentially no performance options, which means you can't increase or decrease the quality of graphics for the game to run faster or smoother.”
    • “Interesting idea but poorly executed, with a lack of optimization, reliance on AI, and overly grindy mechanics with little to no explanation.”
    • “I've experienced performance drops due to particle effects up close and a couple of crashes that interrupted gameplay negatively, though most playtime was solid.”
    • “There are essentially no performance options, meaning you cannot increase or decrease the quality to make the game run faster or smoother.”

  • stability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is currently hindered by numerous bugs, glitches, and performance issues, including lag and graphic problems. While the small development team is actively working on fixes, the experience remains rough and unstable, impacting smooth gameplay and player retention.

    • “Actually terrible, way too many glitches, doesn't launch correctly and I see no potential to grow.”
    • “Not good, it's laggy, no one plays, and it's buggy as hell.”
    • “There are some bugs and glitches, but the devs are working hard to fix them; it's only a team of about 6 people, and 3 of them do the coding.”

  • monetization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users criticize the game's monetization for relying on misleading advertising, which has negatively impacted their perception. The lack of effective or respectful advertising further detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The game’s advertising is misleading.”
    • “But lack of advertising (or at least, decent advertising) killed it.”
    • “So I kept seeing advertisements for this game on Twitter and TikTok.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game features an interesting concept but suffers from poor execution, with grinding mechanics that feel excessive and lack clear explanation. Its focus on professions over classes and skill trees contributes to a repetitive and grind-heavy experience.

    • “Interesting idea but poorly executed: the lack of optimization, the reliance on AI, and the overly grindy mechanics with little to no explanation.”
    • “It's a very grindy game with professions rather than classes and skill trees.”
    • “It’s grindy.”
