It's an acquired taste, yes; it's not for everyone but it is the true immersive and the closest thing to what could be a reality in space. I hated the steep learning curve of the game, it was frustrating, but perhaps because of that I now love this game so much and I could be playing it for years. I truly lose myself in its world. It is F*** amazing it if you the proper gear and especially a VR headset.
