The editors didn't like
Poor app selection
Needs more degrees of freedom
Right now
Virtual reality on the cheap requires either a piece of cardboard in which you precariously set your smartphone for some barebones “immersive” virtual reality
Or headsets like the Samsung Gear
Go does what it can to make "3DOF" head tracking feel comfortable
But new users may struggle with that cost-cutting limitation
The hand controller
On the other hand
Blows an opportunity to add better tracking or more buttons to GearVR's simpler scheme
Doesn't track position
Just one motion controller
Underpowered compared with tethered and flagship smartphone-powered headsets
Limited software library
Two-hour battery life. It's a sit-down experience (no room tracking). No expandable storage. No kid-safe settings. Lacks multiple account options
Battery only lasts two hours
Three degrees of freedom
Not as powerful as Windows Mixed Reality or Oculus Rift

User must stay in one place (no room-scale VR), Only comes in gray, Controller requires AA-battery, Uses micro-USB instead of USB-C, Requires smartphone for set-up
Oculus Go could be the key to making the world get in on VR, but it won't necessarily be just that. Oculus isn't currently the sort of brand that's publicly making the push they need to get everyone on earth in one of these headsets. For that, they'll nee...

Experienced VR gamers will be disappointed by the software selection and lack of positional tracking, but for watching videos the Oculus Go is astounding. With a higher resolution than PC VR headsets, and sheer convenience of being able to wear the device...

The Oculus Go takes VR to a new generation for people who don't want the hassles of either mobile or PC VR. It would be nice if we could get full, uncompromised VR performance and two hand controllers at the same time, but this is 2018 and the technology...

Some smartphone reliance, Lacks room-tracking capability
Think of Oculus Go as Rift 1.5. At its core, the Go is a stopgap measure as we wait for Oculus to launch Project Santa Cruz, which combines the cordless all-in-one goodness of the Go with the positional tracking and room-scale abilities of the Rift. For $...
