The review says the VR-only game offers an original story, multiplayer mayhem and striking comic-inspired visuals, but falls short even for diehard Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans.
It praises the turtles' lair, distinct weapons and franchise references, while criticising hollow combat, uneven boss fights, bland open-world activities and a world that feels lifeless.
Technical problems, including loading failures and a boss getting stuck in geometry, further hurt the experience, leaving the game recommended mainly for committed fans or young children.
