These are highly recommended if you want to play multiplayer since all players must own the DLC level you want to play.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
PBP took the gameplay of PBVR and just improved on it by expanding the amount of crafts on offer along with making the game one of the most re-playable VR games due to having a leaderboard and permanent progression unlocks via the leverage system which works by you talking customer orders and completely them to gain reputation that gets later converted into leverage which then can be spent on unlocks which can make either crafting easier or more efficient or give you more storage containers to play around with along with a bucket of cosmetic items and new skins with all of that being free.

I love the concept of this game, especially for co-op, but it's still very buggy at the moment.

PBP is mainly sold as a game on Meta Quest platform since its far more popular there however the PC version and Quest Version share much of the same features with the PC version not having mixed reality.
