I have not come across any glitches in the game, the graphics are solid, and the gameplay is one of the best so far for a VR game I've played.

The Mage's Tale delivers strong visual appeal and solid VR combat mechanics, but it is severely held back by frustrating control issues, poor Meta Quest 2 optimization, and progression-blocking bugs.
