The experience is immersive and well-crafted, reminiscent of classic theme park rides like Spaceship Earth, with great attention to detail.
The narration is engaging and informative, providing an interesting overview of the history of information and storytelling.
It's a free experience that offers a unique glimpse into the potential of VR theme parks, with the promise of more content to come.

The ride is slow and lacks interactivity, which may limit replay value and engagement for some players.
The graphics are basic and the character animations feel stiff, which detracts from the overall immersion.
As a demo, it only features a small portion of the planned content, leaving players wanting more depth and variety.

The story of "Into the Metaverse" explores humanity's quest for deeper immersion through a narrative that highlights the origins of storytelling, effectively blending scenes from the past, present, and future.

Overall, the narrative is praised for its depth and relevance to the theme of virtual reality.
- “The tale it tells about the origin of storytelling is also excellent.”
- “Initially the sound came through to my TV; I had to close the app, change the audio source in Virtual Desktop in Oculus Link, then the audio came through the Quest 2 headset, which I'm glad I did, as it adds to the immersion.”

- “The graphics aren't great, but they're not bad either.”
- “The experience has a low polygon art style.”
- “Sure, there isn't a whole lot here; the graphics are a little basic and the narrator's voice needs improving.”

The game has limited replayability due to minimal environmental interaction, but it serves as an excellent VR demo and sales tool for showcasing the capabilities of virtual reality to others.
