A fantastic game with the best of both worlds; fun VR interactions (combat, climbing, messing around with physics), as well as more traditional game trappings like exploration, upgrade trees, inventory management, and a quasi-open world element. The story isn't half bad either!
The only negative here is the performance, and the general visual fidelity. Playing this on a launch Oculus Quest, it feels like a miracle port -- which is a good and a bad thing. It's very well fleshed out and ambitious for a game on the little standalone headset, but some of the textures are downright hideous, and chugs in performance are far too common, and below what I'd say is a tolerable level in VR. Coupled with some other minor gripes (bad checkpointing, no manual saving) and this is just a hair below true perfection. But nonetheless, one of my favourite VR games to date, and a 2020 GOTYC.
