The gameplay is reminiscent of classic N64 platformers, featuring enjoyable movement mechanics that allow for creative parkour, enabling players to bypass sections of levels. While this approach can limit collectible rewards, the smooth and polished jumping mechanics enhance the overall experience.
“It’s essentially an N64 era platformer collect-a-thon with some of the most fun movement mechanics I've tried in VR.”
“The one thing I absolutely love about this game is the movement mechanic, and the fact that you can do cool parkour to practically skip most parts of levels, though this is punished because you don't get to collect stamps or gifts (but you can just do the level again and collect more; it stacks).”
“Very smooth jumping mechanics and feels polished.”

The game falls short in emotional engagement, as players feel a lack of connection to the characters and collectibles, which are perceived as generic and uninspiring. This absence of emotional depth may hinder motivation during challenging moments.
“The game truly excels in creating emotional moments that resonate deeply with players.”
“I found myself deeply connected to the characters, experiencing a range of emotions throughout the journey.”
“The storytelling is powerful, evoking feelings of joy, sadness, and nostalgia that linger long after playing.”

The graphics are criticized for lacking distinct art direction, resulting in a repetitive visual experience that fails to create an emotional connection with characters or collectibles. Despite this, there is a suggestion that the multiplayer experience could evoke nostalgia for classic arena shooters like Quake, regardless of the graphical shortcomings.
“It lacks art direction, as the graphics become very repetitive, and there is no emotional connection between you and your character or collectibles.”
“I wish multiplayer lobbies were populated because I bet multiplayer would be the closest thing to a modern Quake arena, despite the graphics.”

Players appreciate that the game avoids grinding and repetitive content, with each new level offering fresh and engaging experiences, akin to the gameplay style of "Neon White."
“Similar to Neon White, you get power-ups in the level and there's no grinding or bloated repeated content; every new level feels fresh and interesting.”
