Immersive and authentic TMNT experience with great voice acting and a comic book art style that captures the franchise spirit.
Fun and satisfying parkour and movement mechanics, including climbing, jumping, and zip lines that make traversal enjoyable.
Enjoyable multiplayer co-op gameplay that enhances the fun, allowing players to experience different turtles with unique weapons.

Combat is overly simplistic, repetitive, and lacks depth, with poor enemy AI and issues with parrying and weapon hit detection.
The open world feels empty and lifeless with limited enemy variety, repetitive quests, and minimal interactive VR elements.
Technical issues include bugs, glitches, grip/control problems especially on certain VR controllers, and multiplayer progress save restrictions.

The story is generally praised for its engaging TMNT world setting, good pacing, and strong voice acting, making it feel authentic and enjoyable.

- “The story is amazing and just being in the TMNT world feels like a dream.”
- “The story seems great so far and the voice acting is just amazing.”
- “Nice original story with voice acting, really feels like a proper TMNT game; the art style is nice and fits the story well.”
- “The characters are amazingly one dimensional, and the overall plot is a bland and boring rehash of past TMNT hits, that basically exists only as an excuse for you to do a bunch of uninteresting fetch quests.”
- “The story is bland and the quests are repetitive and a slog.”
- “The boss fights stink, the levels are boring and dead, the story conclusion is underwhelming, and all the characters are paper thin.”

The gameplay is generally fun and engaging, featuring satisfying mechanics like jumping, dashing, climbing, and gadget crafting, with enjoyable weapon variety. However, some find the challenge lacking and the combat a bit spammy, while VR gameplay is visually impressive but mechanically basic. Overall, it offers an entertaining experience but can feel somewhat simplistic or empty at times.
- “The gameplay is quite fun, and having the ability to try out all the different weapons and how they change how you can fight is pretty fun.”
- “Also, the jumping, dashing, and climbing mechanics are really satisfying.”
- “I love the gadget crafting mechanic and I've only begun to unlock all the different things you can make like shurikens and stink bombs.”
- “TMNT Empire City should have been a hit out of the park if they stuck with classic arcade-style gameplay.”
- “City feels empty, gameplay is too childish.”
- “It has very basic VR mechanics with no physicality.”

The graphics are generally praised for their cel-shaded, comic book style that fits the game's art and story well, offering an appealing visual experience on Quest 3. However, some users note minor issues with interaction precision and see the visuals as average compared to PC VR, though the art style helps maintain overall appeal.
- “The graphics look great and you feel like you're in a comic book.”
- “The graphics: cel-shaded perfection.”
- “But still, the game is fun and the graphics are well done for a Quest 3 game.”
- “You have to be kind of careful and specific as to where you grab because you'll see the grabbable edges highlight and you'll think you're grabbing it, but your hand will be a little too far into the graphics and the grip just won't engage like you think it should.”
- “Questified graphics and almost no difference in PC VR version.”
- “The flipside is the art style works so it sort of balances it out.”

The music in the game features a retro 80s/90s vibe, reflecting some research and thematic intent, but overall the soundtrack is considered average and lacks memorable or impactful tracks, including the title theme.
- “I remember in one of the marketing interviews, the musician of the game was talking about how he was doing all this research and wanted to stay true to the turtles... I don't know, the tracks that I have listened to in my play time just felt, well, average.”
- “Yeah, I can hear a little 'retro-ish' 90s/80s vibe in parts of the soundtrack, but then again, the tracks are just so average.”
- “Instead, the title music is just some average track with no homage to the theme.”
