  • Open world city and parkour mechanics offer satisfying traversal and exploration.
  • Strong voice acting, engaging original story, vibrant comic book art style, and enjoyable multiplayer co-op experience.
  • Multiplayer issues including lack of public matchmaking, progress saving only for host, and reported bugs affecting co-op functionality.
  • Empty and repetitive environments with limited enemy variety, simplistic combat, and uninspired quests leading to reduced immersion and replay value.
  • Grip and control problems, especially on certain VR controllers, alongside technical issues like crashes, bugs, and performance drops.
  • story

    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 61% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The story is generally praised for its authentic TMNT atmosphere, strong voice acting, and engaging main plot, though some find it underwhelming and reliant on repetitive fetch quests with thin character development. While the world-building and narrative keep the experience enjoyable for many, others criticize the lack of depth, immersion, and variety in missions. Overall, the story succeeds in capturing the TMNT vibe but could benefit from more nuanced characters and quest diversity.

    • “The story is amazing and just being in the TMNT world feels like a dream.”
    • “The story keeps things moving pretty well (you don't have to clear the cities if you don't want to), and the voice comms are really well done and entertaining.”
    • “Nice original story with voice acting, really feels like a proper TMNT game - the art style is nice and fits the story well.”
    • “The boss fights stink, the levels are boring and dead, the story conclusion is underwhelming, and all the characters are paper thin.”
    • “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.”
  • gameplay

    The gameplay is generally fun and engaging, featuring satisfying mechanics like jumping, dashing, climbing, and varied weapon use, though some find it a bit spammy and lacking real challenge. The gadget crafting adds depth, but the city environment can feel empty and childish. VR aspects are basic with limited physicality, yet still enjoyable for showcasing the 3D environment.

    • “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.”
    • “But then again, if you just cheese the dashing mechanic and flail your arms about, their 'challenge' is not much of a real challenge.”
    • “City feels empty, gameplay is too childish.”
  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    54% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The game features cel-shaded, comic book-style graphics that are visually appealing and well-suited to the art style, creating an immersive experience despite some low-resolution textures and limited shadow/shading options. While the visuals are generally praised, minor issues with object interaction and a lack of graphic customization are noted. Overall, the graphics stand out especially for Quest 3, balancing style with some technical limitations.

    • “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.”
    • “The visuals suffer due to low resolution textures and a lack of shadows and shading, which cannot be adjusted in the game options.”
    • “You have to be careful and precise when grabbing objects because the highlight on grabbable edges can be misleading; sometimes your hand appears to be in position, but the grip does not engage as expected.”
    • “The graphics are questified with almost no difference compared to the PC VR version.”
  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music in the game features a retro 80s/90s vibe and shows some effort to stay true to its theme, but overall tracks are considered average and lack memorable or fitting title music.

    • “Good music”
    • “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.”
    • “Yeah, I can hear a little 'retro-ish' 90s/80s vibe in parts of the soundtrack.”
    • “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 playtime 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.”
  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 67% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game shows improved optimization on PC with sharper visuals and better performance compared to the Quest 3 version. Overall, players experience smooth gameplay without significant differences between platforms.

    • “There currently isn't much difference between Quest 3 and SteamVR versions, just overall sharper visuals and better performance on PC.”
  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions
