“Graphics run smoothly on max settings on my GTX 980.”
“Looking forward to more content, better graphics (as time progresses), and multiplayer co-op would be the cat's meow.”
“Ok, so it's pretty freaky the feeling of falling... so far this has been the only experience to give me a bit of motion sickness. The graphics are kind of eh, but it's certainly unique and different.”
“The graphics are quite poor and there's no soundtrack, or any music, to speak of.”
“Graphics: 0/5 (Doom 1 in VR looks better, in my opinion, and I'm not joking here!)”

The gameplay is engaging and offers many hours of fun, with a variety of paths and challenges that encourage continued play. While the controls may occasionally twitch and the visuals in screenshots don't fully capture the experience, the overall simplicity and enjoyment of the gameplay make it worthwhile.
“I can see many hours of gameplay with this title. I've had it on my wish list for a little while and was able to grab it on sale for their 1-year anniversary. I am not disappointed; I would have easily paid full price earlier if I had known it was really this much fun. 2D YouTube videos of most VR games never really do them justice because it is hard to picture what it is like in VR until you try it.”
“It's not perfect; controls can twitch a little now and then and drop angles sometimes in the wrong direction. Although that might be something I'm doing wrong, there are plenty of paths and challenges. It makes you want to keep playing, with lots of different locations and drops.”
“Gameplay is simple, but fun.”
