The gameplay is characterized by a simple and easy-to-learn mechanic centered around chopping down trees while avoiding obstacles, making it accessible for casual gamers and competitive multiplayer fans. However, some players have noted issues with long loading times and choppy performance, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the introduction of new gameplay options for versus challenges has been well-received, although some feel these features would have been better suited as additions to the original game rather than a standalone title.
