The graphics in the game are generally praised for their beauty and detail, with many players noting stunning visuals and vibrant environments that enhance the VR experience. While some aspects may appear simplistic or less impressive, the overall quality is considered high, especially in specific areas like flow-stone caves and lava regions. However, players should be aware that running the game on maximum settings may require a powerful graphics card to maintain smooth performance.
- “Unprecedented level of visuals for a VR project, highly detailed fauna, amazing sound design, and a decent climbing experience.”
- “Overall I would recommend trying this one out if you have a VR headset as the visuals alone are simply amazing within the VR space.”
- “The graphics are clear, highly customizable, and just plain great looking.”
- “The graphics aren't the best and are pretty boring.”
- “The graphics are better in Ark Park and The Blu (which have similar style environments to the ones I saw) and aren't as hard on computer usage, but both those programs are by far more limited in scale than this, so I guess that's the trade-off.”
- “Graphics are a mixed bag; some things do not look so good but not terrible, while other parts can be downright breathtaking.”

The gameplay is characterized by its simple and relaxing mechanics, featuring climbing and teleportation as primary modes of movement, which some players find limiting compared to traditional walking mechanics. While the visuals and environments are praised for their beauty, the jumping mechanic during climbing has been criticized for hindering progression. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable for newcomers to VR, though it may not appeal to those seeking more dynamic or traditional gameplay experiences.
- “Simple, relaxing gameplay, nice climbing, beautiful graphics and environments, plays great with Reverb G2 and Index controllers.”
- “The visuals are beautiful, the gameplay is fun and intriguing as a newcomer to VR, and I found myself getting lost in just exploring instead of where I was expected to go early on.”
- “Gameplay is somewhere between a climbing experience, a decent walking simulator, and a casual adventure.”
- “Would recommend it except I found the jumping mechanic while climbing so bad that I was unable to progress far through the second level as it's unskippable and the difficulty is not changeable.”
- “The only way to travel is by teleporting and climbing. While it's not an issue for me personally, I can see this being a potential problem for those that want more 'traditional' walking mechanics in the game.”
- “Gameplay is not compelling; it's a bit like 'Climey' for kids, but the scenes are what it's all about.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with users reporting significant performance issues such as severe pop-in, stuttering, and frame rate drops, particularly during area transitions. Many players noted that even with lower settings, the experience remained inconsistent, suggesting that a more powerful graphics card may be necessary for optimal performance. While some found the performance acceptable on high settings, the frequent loading-related stutters detracted from the overall experience.
- “The performance hits seemed to happen when loading in a new location, and based on my initial impressions, I would say a more powerful graphics card is required beyond the recommended minimum specs for the best experience.”
- “Let me just go into graphics, performance, and transportation mode for a bit here. So far, your main locomotion method is teleportation, but the developers wrote they will prioritize getting controller-oriented smooth locomotion implemented next.”
- “The performance was probably good enough. I insisted on having most graphical settings on 'epic' with a 1080 (not ti), so a bit of reprojection was to be expected.”
- “Performance issues include severe pop-in and stuttering when loading new areas, which happens frequently.”
- “Towards the end, in the lava section, I noticed stuttering and several frame rate drops.”
- “I had quite a few performance issues on my GTX 1060 in some locations. Turning my settings to low helped, but it wasn't enough to keep the experience smooth.”

- “The story and puzzles are kind of annoying, but it's just enough to hold together the very beautiful and fun environments.”
- “There are some minor puzzles that were very easy and felt more like a minor story/interactivity element.”
