Rather short, but sweet, which seems to be the norm for VR games from this time period. I particularly enjoy the attention to detail that was paid to animating Quill's body language - the way she shares in your relief after a tough battle in particular is very rewarding. It being a seated game means you can play it in longer sessions than other VR games. It also does a good job at positioning the scenery such that you never spend too long looking down, so it doesn't strain your neck even if you have a fairly heavy VR headset, soemthing which has been a problem for me in other seated VR titles. It's also cute how she tries to gesture the solution to a puzzle when you're stuck, though since you can't interrupt her this has on one occasion directly caused me to fail said platforming puzzle. One slight gripe is that some of the textures are noticeably low-res, even on the highest setting. This is especially noticeable on the terrain near you, though it might just be that my PC is a bit too slow with loading in the textures and is just showing mipmaps, especially considering my PC is on the low end for playing VR. For that reason also it would've been nice to have more fine-grained control over the graphics settings.
A truly amazing game that just makes me super excited about VR again, worth every penny and is a game that I will enjoy coming back to for years to come. Amazing platforming, great graphics that will age perfectly, and some of the most atmospheric music in any game. One of the few games where I say to just buy it, and buy the second game while you're at it! 10/10
A very beautiful VR puzzle platformer. This is the only game my girlfriend ever played, back in winter 2019/2020 when I got myself the Oculus Rift S. We had a great time. I really recommend this game, especially for people new to VR, because 1) it's just a great puzzle platformer, and 2) you get to experience VR but do not have to worry about motion sickness because the camera never does crazy stuff.
