The verdict
A free, creative social VR platform that's great with friends and in private instances. Public lobbies are full of trolls, kids and predators with weak moderation, so skip it if you're underage or going in alone.
Great for
Friend groups or long-distance pals who want to hang out in private worlds, ideally in VR
Main risk
Toxic, predator-heavy public lobbies and weak moderation, especially for minors
