The gameplay is visually impressive but marred by frustrating save mechanics that can lead to lost progress, especially for short play sessions. Additionally, many mechanics lack polish and smoothness, indicating a need for greater attention to detail in level design and overall gameplay experience.
“Awesome graphics and gameplay, but frustrating that you can't save progress. If you only have a short time to play, you lose all your progress and have to go right back, even having to go through the non-play introduction in the bar area, which becomes boring after the third time.”
“But the most irritating thing is a lack of polish for a lot of the mechanics.”
“Again, there's just a lack of attention to detail in level design and VR game mechanics.”
