- “It's easy to use, has no footprint on performance, and the community that revolves around it is extremely helpful and positive.”
- “While it may not seem to take much resources when you are not in VR, once you get into VR you may notice a performance loss due to it.”
- “I did notice a slight performance decrease in Beat Saber, so take that into account.”

The gameplay experience is enhanced by the use of tracking tools like Yur, which not only monitor movement but also encourage physical activity through a leveling system.

Overall, the gameplay is designed to be both entertaining and beneficial for fitness.

- “The gameplay menu will show you a report of date/time, length, game, and calories burned for today, 7 days, 30 days, and 60 days.”
