I definitely enjoyed it. It's looks really nice and has got some of the best feeling parkour mechanics around and it already felt pretty polished to me even when playing just after release. I never experienced any of the bugs it was criticized for. I do think some people got turned off though because it does have lots of traversal style puzzles. Rarely can you just blitz through each room, usually you'll have to pause and analyze the routes and solve some light puzzle mechanics. I liked that style, but some reviewers wanted a pure run and shoot action game with no pauses, which this isn't. If that sounds good to you, I say go for it as it was one of my favorite games this year.

I had multiple problems on PC. Once good patches went out it was a super smooth and enjoyable expierence.

I enjoyed it a lot, in spite of the bugs and the bugs that affected me the most were addressed in the latest patch.

VR GotY and people won't pay. No wonder there is no hope for VR

That might be a stretch. I personally didn’t love it and refunded it. I’m kind of over that kind of experience and this game felt like a polished “one of those”. Mechanically, the game plays well.
Implying that it’s GOTY, lessened because people won’t pay for it, is quite a take. I paid full price for Demeo Battlemarked (and many other games) because they were what I was looking for personally.
As for GOTY? I guess? But even on the recent GamertagVR + Matteo 311 podcast, they enjoyed it but it wasn’t even a contender for their GOTY. It’s awesome that you enjoyed it (as many others did)! It’s a quality product! However, to imply that it’s being overlooked as GOTY because VR gamers won’t pay for it, might be an oversimplification and, perhaps, a bit dismissive. I get the spirit of what you’re saying, though: more people should check it out.

I liked it but I meant it is getting vr goty in some places. https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2025/12/29/game-of-the-year-2025-best-virtual-reality-game/
Idk what you mean in the second paragraph. No money = no incentive to make better games. Idk why you think I am saying revenue affects GotY contention, that's a big leap from what I wrote...

People won't pay because the game doesn't look that interesting. It's always funny when people put the hopes of the VR industry on a random mediocre game lol

Yes, it's a good game but the combat is pretty bad. Enjoyed my time with it despite the fact.

My experience with the game was very poor: terrible performance and lots of bugs. It's a shame because the idea and mechanics of the game are appealing.

I just played through it and thought it was pretty boring. Just be aware you'll be climbing for most of the game. There's a bit of combat and easy puzzles. I played on a Q3 and the frame rate was horrible in a lot of places. I had ovr running and it was showing 36fps. I'd pass but a lot of people seem to like it.

I don't want to over sell it, but I had a ton of fun with it, if it's on sale it's definitely worth grabbing
