Level design (the second half throws varied threats at you, forcing new playstyles)

The graphics are surprisingly good for a game that is designed to work on a Quest.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So far a very quality feeling vr experience, voice acting is great, performance is great around 85% of the time although scenes with dynamic shadows tank performance heavily (hoping this will get fixed in patches).
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The guns feel great to use, and I really liked how the backpack and inventory work.
