The gameplay of Tank Mechanic Simulator VR closely mirrors its non-VR counterpart, making it familiar for returning players, but it lacks significant VR-specific mechanics that enhance immersion. While the game includes a tutorial, it fails to adequately cover all mechanics, leading to a frustrating experience due to the removal of certain features from the original. Overall, players may find the VR adaptation less engaging and more cumbersome than expected.
“The gameplay is what does it for me.”
“I highly recommend Tank Mechanic Simulator VR for anyone who loves tank games and simulators.”
“This is a VR version of Tank Mechanic Simulator; if you have played the original, you'll feel right at home.”
“This game does have a tutorial, but it's a rather generic one that doesn't teach you all the game mechanics involved in the game.”
“Even with polishing of these problems, the game as a VR version of the original is just not 'VR enough.' It doesn't add mechanics that would make sense to a VR title; even worse, it removes mechanics from the original game which make working on a tank in VR much harder, time-consuming, and frustrating.”
“The tanks are the same, and the main difference (so far) is that the tank finding mechanic is automatic and done off-screen (you can't dig out the tanks).”

The graphics in the game are generally well-received, with some users noting that enhancements improve the visual experience. However, there are minor inconveniences, such as the separation of graphics preset and menu settings, and some players experience occasional frame rate drops even on lower settings. Overall, while the graphics are appealing, they could benefit from further optimization and adjustments.
“Not bad, just need tweaks; looks good with some graphic enhancements.”
“It is strange for the graphics preset setting and the actual graphics menu to be in two separate menus.”

The music in the game is criticized for being overly repetitive and lacking customization options, leading many players to turn it off entirely or play their own music instead. Overall, the workshop environment is described as visually appealing but limited in functionality and customization.
“The music is repetitive as hell, and there's no option to change it, so you'll just have to completely turn it off, working in silence or playing your own music.”
“The workshop itself is 'cool' at best, but that's it; it just looks nice. There's not much else you can really do, you can't customize it, you can't change how it looks, or the layout of the workshop, nothing.”
“You get the tools on the table, you get two spots for placing or picking up items you either buy or sell, and that's it.”
