This is held up as one of the best VR experiences currently and I feel like I'm being gaslit by the community at large by this sentiment. Maybe I just had the worst possible impression?

So this game is meant to be a rougelite. You're supposed to die pretty quick and then through repeated attempts unlock new gear and upgrades and learn how to play better until eventually you get the satisfaction of a perfect run to the end.

I uh, I beat it on my first run. Default rifle. It was really easy. Frustratingly so. It all looked and felt cool but had absolutely zero observable depth.

The first boss fight was okay. A big guy floating in the air and you shoot him a bunch and take cover. Sure. The second boss fight? One of the worst I've experienced in VR. So frustrating that by the time I was done with it I wanted to stop playing. I kept going though because I couldn't find a means to save and resume later.

Then I just went right to the third boss and won that one too. I felt nothing. Honestly the whole time I was tired because it was late and I was DESPERATE for something to kill me so I could hop out of VR and go to bed. This game was annoying.

I ended up refunding it. I don't get it.
