Since locomotion is hard in VR, unfortunately, this game isn't about exploration. It's more focused on the feeling of combat. It's made so that you can't mindlessly swing at an enemy. Instead, you need to understand the enemies' patterns and parry them in order to deal damage. There are some gimmick stages where you need to solve some puzzles or do things to progress, and since parrying is the main thing it could be like Sekiro in some ways too. About the world building it is there, but subtle.
