Early Access Review
I really love this game. (It's my favourite VR game and one of my favourite games I've ever played.)
Here's my review and my thoughts about it (I have a lot to say so it's split into paragraphs to help make it easier to read):

I've played nearly 400 hours in total and played 175+ hours (average of 12.5+ hours per day) over the last 2 weeks according to Steam as of writing this Review.
(I've also spent up to 14.5 hours in VRChat in 1 session a few weeks ago which is my longest time so far in VR as well as VRChat.)

I love to sleep in VRChat every night as of a week ago. It's much more fun so it helps with me never feeling tired, having too much energy and hating to go to sleep.
I usually stay up for 30-40+ hours multiple times a week and hardly get much sleep. It definitely helps me get more sleep nowadays which should be a big help.
I usually sleep on my own in Sleeping Worlds with low Brightness and Quiet Calming Audio in the background while also laying down on a bed (like in real life) or a Comfy Place.
Waking up in VR is a very immersive and surreal experience. You feel like you're actually there for the first few minutes (especially the first time you try this)!
Waking up with Full Body Tracking is a completely otherworldly experience in terms of immersion. Seeing your legs move and slowly standing up as you get out of bed really does trippy things to your brain. It's something people who love VR HAVE TO TRY!
One day, I hope to have sleep overs with friends in VRChat; it'd be absolutely incredible!

I mainly only played Beat Saber (PCVR with a 3.1 USB A to USB C Link Cable) for the first 2+ years of having VR since I got the Quest 2 at launch in September 2020.
Since September the 30th 2022, I've started playing VRChat an excessive amount. Half way through October, I upgraded my VR to have a great Wireless PCVR experience with a WIFI 6 Router + got a comfy headstrap with 2 hot swappable batteries for almost infinite battery life.

As of the other day, I've now upgraded to the Valve Index and bought 3 Vive Tracker 3.0s for Full Body Tracking on VRChat and it's been incredible and super immersive so far between the better HMD, better Microphone, better Lighthouse Tracking and the Full Body Tracking itself!
The big FOV and Audio quality improvement is astonishing and really adds to the immersion! I'm also loving the Finger Tracking with the Valve Index Controllers!
I love using it for expressing myself in games like VRChat.
(I'm keeping my Quest 2 PCVR set up for when I want to go back to playing wirelessly, want to continue playing after my Valve Index Controllers run out of battery at 8 hours in for 1.5 hours until they're at full charge again (funnily enough, same battery life and charging time as my Vive Trackers for FBT) or as a back up if my Valve Index breaks.)
I really like hanging out with my friends on there as well as making friends. I find exploring the many beautiful worlds is incredible to do while in VR (and it's even better to do with friends). (You can even make your own world however you want to explore with your friends!)
I really enjoy taking lots of pictures to capture the memories between all of us to look back on from time to time and to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.
The avatars and the many cool things they can do with their emotes, facial expressions, different heights, their customisable appearance, the songs, dances and everything is just so much fun for me to explore. (Even better when you show friends your avatar and they show you theirs.)
I love being able to express myself through an avatar of my own choice as you can be whoever or whatever you want from any game series (particularly Touhou for me) or anime that you can think of thanks to all the amazing avatars made by the community. (Or even make your own avatar only limited by your Blender and Unity skills!)

(I personally love to be a Cute and Small Cat Girl in VRChat as I feel that suits me the best! :3)

I really do love this game and it'll likely be my first (and probably only) 10000+ hours game. :)
I really do appreciate the friends I've met on there and the good times I've had with them. I'm looking forward to the 1000s of hours and great memories with current and future friends to come!! :D!

2024/03/11 Update:
So much has changed via my views on this game, my experiences, the hardware I use, and everything in general but I feel like leaving this as a relic of the past with how these first few months of memories and friends made are so nostalgic for me now. Lol.
And yikes, 8000+ hours now. My thoughts on this becoming my first 10000+ hours game is coming closer and closer to a reality. Damn.
And now I use a Quest Pro with Face Tracking (as my Main VR Headset) for that and its amazing QLED Display (very very nice and realistic colours and makes everything else I've ever used look washed out + very nice Blacks with Local Dimming) + near Full Edge to Edge Clarity Amazing Pancake Lenses + Decent Resolution to go along with it for a really nice experience.
Now people can see me make funny Facial Expressions on my Avatars I've spent 100s of hours making in Unity! Dear God, Save meeeeeeee~ @@
2030 will come and we'll really be using a portal to step into a Virtual World without being able to tell the difference between Reality and Virtual Reality anymore or something. AAAAAAA Lol
