The gameplay is generally well-received for its sense of speed and entertaining core mechanics, with a diverse range of elements.

The story aspect of the game is perceived as underwhelming, with users feeling it lacks depth and quality, especially for a SteamVR title. Many believe it would be more suitable as a lower-priced experience on platforms like Quest, rather than a full-fledged game.
