The gameplay loop balances exploration, environmental physics puzzles, and light combat. The puzzles are designed to be tactile, requiring players to physically manipulate levers, dial in frequencies, and move objects in 3D space. This physicality is a core strength of the VR medium, and Red Matter 2 executes it with precision. Unlike many games that rely on abstract menus, nearly every interaction in Red Matter 2 is diegetic, meaning it exists within the world. This design philosophy extends to the tools on the player's hands, which serve as scanners, grabbers, and hacking devices, keeping the player focused on the environment rather than a user interface.

Technologically, Red Matter 2 is often cited as the gold standard for VR optimization. Vertical Robot utilized a custom engine to achieve graphical feats that were previously thought impossible on mobile chipsets. The game features high-quality textures, complex lighting effects, and realistic reflections that enhance immersion significantly. In a medium where "presence"—the feeling of actually being in a space—is the primary goal, these technical achievements are not merely cosmetic. They allow the player to lose themselves in the cold metal corridors of a lunar base or the vast, rings of Saturn, making the experience feel tangible and high-stakes. Unlike many games that rely on abstract menus,
