Reviews
- The lightsaber mechanics are fun and immersive, providing a great sense of realism when blocking energy bolts.
- It's a solid demonstration of what VR can achieve, especially for Star Wars fans, with exciting moments like the Millennium Falcon landing.
- The experience, although short, is enjoyable and leaves players eager for more content in the future.
- The demo is very short, lasting only about 5-10 minutes, which may leave players wanting more.
- There is minimal world interaction, and some gameplay elements feel underdeveloped, such as the 'press the buttons to fix the ship' mechanic.
- The room-scale requirement is larger than necessary, which can be inconvenient for players with limited space.
