The verdict
A deeply physical VR melee sandbox with great combat feel, gore and a huge mod scene. Skip it if you're motion-sick, have a weak PC, or want smart enemy AI and a deep campaign.
Great for
VR owners with a strong PC who enjoy physics-driven melee, gore, sandbox play and modding
Main risk
Dumb, repetitive enemy AI and jank make it get stale fast without mods
What players love
Great physics-based melee combat
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 positive reviews
