Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Though YoreVR would be the first game to capitalize on the booming game genre that is survival crafting open world popularized by Minecraft (Which also has a VR version btw), I feel like Star Shelter captures the genre more in terms of adapting survival with dynamic environmental systems giving the VR space you are playing in more alive than I have ever felt with other open ended VR games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Scalability (plenty to build), graphics (beautiful), and movement (propelling yourself off debris, and spending oxygen to guide your course) are all very well done.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is also on point, you're challenged and you'll learn some harsh lessons in early playthroughs; but you very quickly learn what problems to get ahead of and how to handle combat effectively.
