The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users noting its basic mechanics and lack of customization options, such as a reset view button. While some appreciate the single-player focus and find it enjoyable, others express a desire for more engaging and standout mechanics, as well as multiplayer options for a more dynamic experience. Overall, the gameplay feels dated and could benefit from enhancements to meet player expectations.
- “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 described as basic and stylized, reminiscent of Wii games, which some players find enjoyable despite their simplicity. While the visuals may not be impressive, they contribute to a fun and immersive experience in VR sports. However, there are calls for more customization options and graphical settings in future updates.
- “The video says it all, but I personally enjoyed a lot playing VR sports, 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.”

The game is praised for its stability, with users reporting no glitches and a solid performance reminiscent of Wii Sports. However, players express a desire for additional features and gameplay elements, such as more AI opponents and varied scoring in baseball.
- “Similar to Wii Sports, the game is solid with no glitches. It gave me a little workout, and I would love to see more rounds and AI opponents in boxing. In baseball, it would be great to add base hits, doubles, and triples, not just homers and outs. Also, having the controllers vibrate when you strike the ball or hit the opponent in boxing would enhance the experience.”
