Amazing VR experience, one of the best if your looking for a gritty, rugged survival experience where you have to figure things out for yourself, it never walks you through anything and you choose your own adventure. one problem I do have is that the game tends to run fairly poorly in terms of anti aliasing, making everything kind of disorenting to look at unless it is infront of you and/or nearby.

pretty fun game, dont like how some features take a long time to unlock, i have to play for well over 4 hours to unlock an inventory, the gameplay at the start is more about sitting by a fire biding your time. It would be great if they had the things like crafting earlier where you are able to build a base and do things rather than just waiting until you unlock them. Edit: new update for the game somewhat fixed my issues, i think you still have to wait a while but its nicer now that its cumalative with the days so you are able to learn and explore whilst unlocking new items without the fear of dying and having to wait out the item days on a fresh start
