The gameplay in Space Ops features solid mechanics and customization options, with a focus on fast-paced action and tactical variety that encourages competitive play. While the aiming and core mechanics are praised, some users noted issues with accessibility and the lack of multiplayer engagement, as well as a reliance on ghost records for competition. Overall, the game offers a fun experience, though it may require further optimization for a smoother experience.
- “I'm very picky about VR shooters, and the aiming and game mechanics here are good.”
- “Great fast action with some nice tactical variety, good idea of competitive gameplay that motivates you to do things better and faster, nice weapons with two different modes each and constant upgrades with each level receiving new stuff.”
- “The core mechanic of this game is really fun - and why wouldn’t it be?”
- “While the training level got me familiar with the game mechanics, it seems to be largely based on the Farhome training level.”
- “Where it all sadly falls is when it comes to gameplay and feeling.”
- “Oh yeah... ghost record of another player's gameplay; you most likely won't find other players to play with, so you'll have to wait for 60 seconds and then play a one vs one against a ghost record, ala Mario Kart.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their originality and solid presentation, featuring nice visuals and a wide-open, Halo-like level design.

Despite this, the game's artwork and visual effects, particularly the holographic sights, received positive feedback, contributing to an engaging gameplay atmosphere.

- “Overall graphical presentation is solid, and the levels generally have a wide-open, Halo-like feel to them.”
- “Amazing graphics - check.”
- “Graphics are okay, handling is a bit hard at times.”
- “Overall graphical presentation is solid, and the levels generally have a wide-open, Halo-like feel to them, but there is only a little corridor-type play.”
- “Some graphics and enemies seem to be recycled from a prior game from this developer (Farhome), so any remaining Farhome fans may notice the game does not feel entirely original.”

The game's story is largely absent, with players noting that it focuses more on multiplayer gameplay rather than narrative development. The lack of a compelling storyline or context for the combat leaves players feeling disconnected, as the gameplay revolves around repetitive horde missions without meaningful story elements.
- “Some kind of direct, competitive interaction against the human player/bot is needed here (or give a story element as to why you are fighting against the bugs).”
- “The game is geared more towards multiplayer (up to 2 vs 2) over what seems to be 2 large levels (with both day and night variants), so anybody looking for a story will need to look elsewhere.”
- “Some kind of direct, competitive interaction against the human player or bot is needed here, or give a story element as to why you are fighting against the bugs.”
- “What story?”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unenjoyable, particularly when playing solo, as it transforms into a chore rather than an engaging experience. The tutorial is criticized for being slow and uninteresting, contributing to the overall feeling of monotony in the grinding process, which resembles that of traditional MMOs.
- “The amount of grinding you will have to do to level up your character and weapons would be more fun with a human player, but when it is just you, it eventually becomes a chore.”
- “Your first introduction to the game is a tutorial that treats you like an idiot, is tedious and slow, and takes place in a boring environment. You have nothing to look at while waiting for the unimaginative instructions to end.”
