The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some users expressing a desire for more customization options and multiplayer features, while others find the mechanics too basic and lacking in innovation. Although the game functions well in single-player mode, it fails to deliver the engaging experience reminiscent of titles like Wii Sports. Overall, the gameplay is seen as needing improvement to stand out in the current gaming landscape.
“What I was looking for when I found this title was something in VR that captured the same fun, light gameplay as Wii Sports.”
“Don't get me wrong, I would love a multiplayer option in this game, local (really needs this option) and online (you never know when you might have a friend with a VR headset and a good internet connection!). However, because it offers no such option and is focused exclusively on single-player, the gameplay works just as good now as it did upon release, if not better.”
“Here is my first impressions, gameplay, and review in mixed reality view and VR.”
“They could've at least added a few options to customize gameplay, or even a reset view button would've been nice.”
“When you make a game, don't shoot for 'borderline' game mechanics, make it something that stands out.”
“The gameplay is too basic.”

The graphics are generally described as basic and stylized, reminiscent of Wii games, which may not impress those seeking hyper-realistic visuals. While some users find the graphics adequate for the game's fun and immersive experience, others criticize them as subpar for a modern title, expressing a desire for more customization options and settings. Overall, the visuals serve their purpose but leave room for improvement.
“The video says it all, but I personally enjoyed playing VR sports a lot, as all the mixed disciplines are well done. They have nice graphics, sounds, and immersion, and at the same time can be quite challenging as well!”
“Graphically, it's quite basic - although 'stylized' is perhaps a better word.”
“It's not hyper-real physics and blow-you-away graphics, but it fits the same category that Wii games did; fun, easy to pick up, simple.”
“Graphically it's quite basic - although stylized is perhaps a better word.”
“The graphics are terrible for a game this simple.”
“The lack of any settings menu is odd as well and I hope in the future we can maybe have an avatar to customize or at least adjust graphical options.”

Overall, users report mixed stability experiences, with some activities like clay shooting feeling overly difficult and buggy, while others, such as bowling, present challenges in smaller play areas. However, many appreciate the solid performance reminiscent of Wii Sports, noting a lack of glitches and a satisfying workout, though they suggest improvements in gameplay features and controller feedback.
“Similar to Wii Sports, the game is solid with no glitches. It provided me with a little workout, and I would love to see more rounds and AI opponents in boxing. Additionally, in baseball, it would be great to add base hits, doubles, and triples, rather than just home runs and outs. It would also be fantastic if the controllers vibrated when striking the ball and when hitting the opponent in boxing.”
“Clay shooting is way too hard, and holding the gun with both hands is buggy.”
“Bowling is unfriendly for players with a small play area; the rack is so far back.”
“The game has solid mechanics with no glitches, but it needs more rounds and AI opponents in boxing.”
