The editors didn't like
Puzzles are difficultly specific
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
