Controls a shotty when it comes to actually try to beat the game and not messing around with echolocation
Available software caters to casual gamers
Cost
Lack of hand controls
No passthrough camera
Requires four USB ports (three 3.0
One 2.0) to fully function
Clearly not designed with room-scale VR in mind
Oculus Store needs work
Xbox controller is a stopgap solution at best
Sluggish ship controls
Repetitive combat
Short game
Limited replay potential
Progression gates
Getting stuck with no grabsurface
Needs more music
Physically exhausting
Sore arms the next day
Steep difficulty spikes
Repetitious
The motion tracking lacks the HTC Vive's full-room scale. It takes a while to adjust to the controls. Total cost of headset plus controllers is expensive -- and that doesn't include the pricey gaming PC you need
Too
Can't install games from headset
Touch controllers aren't available at launch
$600 is expensive
You need a powerful PC
Roomscale VR is not ideal
Harder to setup
Not the most comfortable
It's too expensive for most
And requires a powerful gaming PC
Glasses wearers will have to deal with some slight discomfort

Abstract: After pulling off the final version of the Oculus Rift during a recent session, I realised I had been playing for more than an hour. It was dark out, and all my coworkers had gone home. I'd been lost in the moment, trying to collect all 25 hidden red coin...
Based on my time with the Oculus Rift, I was fairly impressed with the headset. The design is gorgeous, and the lightweight nature of the headset really makes a difference when wearing it for an extended amount of time, and the lack of condensation build-...

An amazing portal into all-new worlds, Light and comfortable, Easy to setup, Compatible with Xbox One controller, Impressive screen resolution and high refresh rate, Headphones built-in, Price drop since launch
Prone to screen burn if left near sunlight, Requires a beefy PC, Some games can make you feel nauseous, Tracking setup may cause problems (depending on your layout)
The Oculus Rift is the reason why Facebook bought the VR hardware company. And it's easy to see why: gaming geeks will adore it; 'normal' people will have their socks blown off.As it stands, the Rift is a comfortable-to-use VR headset that is well support...

The Oculus Rift has been a long time coming but it was certainly worth the wait. The package includes the headset, a sensor, a remote and an Xbox One controller, all presented in a lovely box. The overall build quality is very good and the headset is well...
