The gameplay is visually impressive and shows significant potential, but it suffers from frustrating issues such as the inability to save progress and a lack of polish in mechanics and level design. Players have noted that repetitive introductions and unrefined gameplay elements detract from the overall experience.
“It's not perfect, but definitely has some big potential if the mechanics and maps hold their ground.”
“Awesome graphics and gameplay, but frustrating that you can't save progress, so if you only have a short time to play, you lose all your progress and have to go right back through the non-play introduction in the bar area, which becomes boring after the third time.”
“However, a lot of the mechanics are just not smooth enough.”
“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.”
“It's not perfect, but definitely has some big potential, if the mechanics and maps hold their ground.”
