- “The gameplay is very shallow.”
- “The game's main gameplay, shooting, is very bland for a VR title, and of the free games given with the Vive, this one I've probably seen enough of despite playing the least.”
- “The gameplay is very bland; the shooting mechanics, while acceptable, seriously need some more active 'reload' mechanism, and regardless of the change in levels, they all feel identical.”

- “Unlocking better weapons requires a number of kills, and if you want them, you will be grinding a lot to get them.”
