I mean, you can't really rate this as a "game".
You can just rate your experience with VRChat, its people and its "people".

There is an insane amount of character models, of which only 40% have more thought behind it, with fun extra features for even more shenanigans.
And for me it is more enjoyable if a model has character specific effects that you can toggle.
Other than that, you can really find any model, out of any media you like, if that's enough for you. Simply walking around as Mr.Krabs or Carl Wheezer surely is satisfying.

Hopping around already chaotic rooms with friends and funny models is always fun.
And if that's how you get to know the people in certain rooms, doing the same shit, ay that's the best part.
Cause then you do all this stuff together.

Socializing per se however, or even simply talking with certain people is really hit or miss.
A big part of the community toxic af. But that's just the internet for you.
This mostly affects people who camp at a mirror for 8 hours, without roaming the map.
Some of them really are "anti fun" in that regard.

Don't get me wrong, I did have nice talks with people in front of the mirrors, but those were rare occurances.
If you do your funny business and bullshittery in the room, they will most likely ignore you, which is totally fine and understandable.
No problem with that.

But god forbid if you try to normally engage into conversations if your user rank is below a certain level, or you don't use a VR Headset.
You do get discriminated, ignored and frowned upon very often.
It goes the other wy around as well though. There are way too many people shitting on people who are just enjoying the game in VR, which is not okay either.
It's very elitist at times, and you recognize the same pattern of behavior in the way these people talk and engage with each other.
Very stereotypical of your average edgy weeb to be honest.
(I love anime as well, shit)

But hey, you can ignore them just as well.
You will find sympathetic people around you very quickly.

Other than that, there are a LOT of dedicated Rooms for games and such in VR.
It varies from Among Us, visiting museums or exhibitions, rooms FILLED TO THE BRIM with Ned Leeds: the CEO of Sex, being in the backrooms, or games you play IRL, but in VR, like hide and seek, or a form of "if you did this thing in your life, take a step forward", escape rooms and much much more.
Or even just really really beautiful and chill places to hang out.

Overall, I really like VRChat, disregarding that little problem mentioned before.
You should really give it a try, and explore it yourself! There is much to discover.
