The verdict
A landmark physics-driven VR campaign with great guns, immersion and level design, held back by jank, climbing and puzzles. Skip it if you get motion sick or want a polished sandbox.
Great for
VR players who want a story campaign with deep physics interaction and experimentation
Main risk
Janky physics, climbing and puzzles (plus motion sickness) can make it frustrating
