Devs ruining game now. Live long enough to become the villians complaining after a month long vacation they're tired and hate the low morale. Lame excuses on fixes and "unable to revert" as if they dont have standard practices of documentation and instances. I stopped playing months ago when things started getting bad but the majority of the crowd told me to get good. Now look where it is and where the crowd is.

Let it burn until they fix it. Only way I'll play again is if I'm on a test server so I can give my own feedback. I saw a lot of the issues as they happened and went unheard so only way I give a damn now. I got a library to choose from.

No cause basement dwellers and even trying to play alone on easy bots for enjoyment is impossible. Apparently 'easy' for the devs means "aimbots on pro level." Frustrates me more than playing against actual players which defeated the purpose of looking for some laid back pointless fun, instead I got repeatedly overpowered and camped by computers.

Current updates keep crashing. Ruins the run.

Let's get it out of the way; Day one bugs are obvious but everyone's system is different. While the idea that devs should figure out most bugs before release is a legit thing, a lot of people somehow think THEIR BUG is always the *one* that should have been included. I'm seeing people report bugs I've yet to see while playing it in VR myself while my own are a lot more immersing breaking (my character will constantly rotate to the right throughout the game, especially kicks up after using the adjunct; and issues with releasing adjunct but only a bit, and seen some narrator text over itself.) Besides some graphical background issues (its VR, I don't expect perfection) that's it for me so far after 2.5 hours and solving a puzzle and a half maybe, mostly exploring and opening up areas.

Would I recommend? Sure. But I could also recommend waiting for some intial patches if you're really THAT concerned about "immersing" breaking (very PCMR phrasing, that while I GET IT, it's another thing to complain about like not getting those last few FPSs when you're already 120+). It's also VR reviews that are mostly negative, and let's be honest, the VR isn't the forefront of the goal (but surely high as it was their intent). So I'm not gonna knock for something that CYAN will fix. I mean come on, it's freaking the people of MYST and Obduction, give it a bit before trashing it with complaints. It's been a day as of this writing, let them get some reports and logs and a patch or two out for those odd custom systems and then try it yourself.

BEYOND that all, it looks AMAZING and I already see the old school puzzles I've long missed and awaited for since the kickstarter began. I am excited to continue and give it time to get some updates while I jump between games to allow it do so. Maybe it could use a lil more overall umpf in details but A, I've only played through a single puzzle so far and B, I'm on VR which is ehhh occasionally and some locations have looked beautiful but limited due to VR monitor).

TL;DR
Probable CYAN simp but I know whatever kinks there are they'll work out, it's worth it either way, even if you wanna wait for a more perfect patched version. It will be worth it.

For specs: I run their recommended specs but with a higher CPU, with Rift S, except on W10.

Despite developing still and definitely needing some changes, this is VERY well done. I would never have guessed it was still EA if I was shown this for the first time. It takes time learning and its extremely picky in some regards (you almost need half the of the things unlocked to progress without villagers having issues it seems) and can make it a bit stressing in the beginning and even later on depending on how sudden a change comes, BUT its still fun in the end (sometimes you gotta laugh at the stupid stuff it does).

F*ck that shark
F*ck that boar
F*ck that bird
F*ck that bear
But most of all, F*ck that fish

Yes. Just adorable but badass lil guy I've ever seen. Negative reviews are all trying to compare it to Souls or whathaveyou and I don't know why. It's simplistic but still takes strategy. Has little hidden bits, stuff I'll obviously have to revisit as I unlock things. And I enjoy the minor puzzles blended into it. It's honestly really neat and worth the money for a laid back but still concentration-demanding game. I don't even get mad at dying as I have a few times now.
