The story of the game is generally well-received, with players finding it engaging despite some technical issues related to movement mechanics. While the narrative is praised, the janky movement and lack of certain features like jumping detract from the overall experience, particularly for those using Oculus Quest 2 with virtual desktop.
“I'm using Oculus Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop to play this, and it still feels amazing!”
“Very good game but there are a couple of issues; the movement is very janky. If you didn't have to teleport, it would be way better, as well as having a jumping mechanic. But if you don't play Quest to PC, by all means, download this game; it's very good, just janky.”
“Pretty good, but I wish it worked with virtual desktop on my Quest 2.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with players enjoying the overall experience, but they note several issues such as janky movement, lack of a jumping mechanic, and subpar Valve Index support. While shooting mechanics can feel realistic with practice, some users find them lacking in realism and responsiveness. Overall, the game is recommended, particularly for those using Oculus Touch controllers.
“As far as the shooting mechanics using Oculus Touch controllers, with a bit of practice and switching the button used to hold the ball to the palm, it can feel pretty much the same as shooting a basketball in real life.”

“It hasn't been updated since August, the Valve Index support is trash, and the shooting mechanics aren't that realistic.”
