The gameplay is engaging and features unique mechanics reminiscent of titles like Superhot, offering fun and thrilling experiences through body takeover and slow-motion actions. However, players note some jankiness and a grindy feel, particularly in the early levels, and express disappointment at the limited gameplay variety once all levels are completed. Overall, while the game has a cool concept that works well in VR, it may leave players wanting more depth after several hours of play.
