The gameplay in the latest versions of Vivecraft is praised for its excellent swimming mechanics, setting a high standard for VR games, while Freediver: Triton Down is noted to have decent controls but does not match Vivecraft's quality.
“Developers, if you want to have an example of good swimming mechanics in a VR game, look no further than the latest versions of Vivecraft.”
