As someone who played a few VR games, this one looked so promising, but it's quite possibly the worst one I've played from a technical standpoint. In this game, you attack by striking poses, similar to those in the Avatar TV show to give you an idea. The thing is, the tracking is the most unreliable I've experienced. The simplest thing, sprinting, which works by swinging your arms while walking, works for half a second and then stops. Games that do it literally the same way, like Blade and Sorcery, work fine for me. Same for the menu buttons: They are physical buttons you actually press in VR, except when you touch them, they spaz out and activate 4-5 times. These buttons are spread out over a huge hub area and your movement speed is possibly the slowest I've ever seen, think something like Skyrim when your overloaded, so you have to walk literally 1-2 Minutes just to access your settings. Poses to attack work randomly - The exact same movement doesn't trigger them reliably. Trying to find out what you're doing wrong (Or how to even attack) is impossible because there is no real tutorial, the only instructions, if you can find them, since they aren't pointed out and blend in with all the over strewn about buttons and consoles in the environment, are basically "Attack to attack", with floating "ghosts" of where your hands should be which you can't see as they sometime are to your side, or one hand high and one low. No mention of how to time, which buttons to press or so on. This is not an issue of the poses being complicated or a "skill issue": Aside from sprinting, another simple move is raising a pillar by putting your left hand to your side and quickly raising your right, and that works less than 50% of the time for me. This is also not frustration because I'm losing at the online game - With a lot of trial and error and no help from the tutorial I could do the 3 basic moves needed to progress, but I couldn't even finish the tutorial fight with the robot as no attacks worked from there on out, no matter how often I did them. The game, on Quest 2, is quite literally unplayable, unless I'm having some weird one-of-a-kind issues or there is something the tutorial doesn't mention like holding certain buttons (If you know about that I'd be happy if you could tell me as I'd love to enjoy this game. I don't want to dislike it, but it doesn't function despite my best efforts), but again other games work fine. I assume a high-end VR headset or one with basestations is needed to play this game, but that's not mentioned. I bought this in a Humble Bundle for ~10€, basically just for this game, and regret it as I can't refund it. I don't go out of my way to write reviews, but this feels like a rip-off. If it works for you, I'm glad for you - If it has to do with bad tutorialization and I'm missing something, please tell me, though I don't think so since moves work at least 10-30% of the time in the first tutorial area. But if you think about buying this, do so in a way that allows you to test it on your device and refund it if necessary, since this game lives or dies on the accuracy of tracking.

Great VR game - basically a must if you own a vive.
Simple, yet very challenging. Easy to get into but hard to master.
Will blow the dev for a 2v2 mode. That would be the best thing ever.
Also, it's actually physically taxing, "vSport" isn't just a gimmicky tag for this game - it's the truth. Ask my sweat-drenched hoodie if you don't believe me.

Edit: Cant recommend at the current state. Don't know what they did, but from one day to the next hit registration was even more ♥♥♥♥♥♥ than before. You literally can't deflect a ball anymore, neither with your shield nor with your hands (even in easy brawl) - it just flies through. And for getting out of the way.. Balls just seem to hit you at random. It may pass you, miss you by 5 meters, fly down below you - and you'll still get hit. Also, you can't catch your own ball anymore, it just doesn't work. As with deflection the ball just passes right through your hand.
Quite sad that I have to write this, it was a really fun game, but going from sometimes winning/sometimes losing to losing every match 1 to 12 because you can't do anything is just terrible.

Still more bugs and issues than features. Everytime you open your inventory the game lags (It basically crashes and does nothing, you can't see whats happening, can't do anything) for well over a minute. Literally, I measured it, and same goes for closing the inventory. This means that looting somebody, adding attachments to your weapon or something else is basically impossible without getting killed, either by the blue or another player and nothing helps. Restarting the game mildly reduces the lag to about 30 seconds, and all those startup commands do nothing for me. Since this game has received some updates already but issues as blatant as this weren't fixed, I can't recommend it. After this amount of time + beta + alpha testing, the game should at least run at a PLAYABLE rate. But it doesn't. I really really like this game for everything it does, but even for an early access title, performance is STILL unacceptable.

Awesome game for competetive shooter lovers. Not that hard to get into, and fun for hours with friends. Easy to learn, hard to master. Buy.
